The face of a man who is a bigger threat to the Falklands than Argentina according to Michael Fallon

[quote]A senior member of the Falkland Island's government has rubbished claims Jeremy Corbyn poses a bigger threat to the the overseas territory's sovereignty than Argentina.

Michael Summers, who has represented islanders on the Legislative Assembly since 1996 and chaired several executive committees, smacked down the comments disparaging Labour's leader by defence secretary Michael Fallon.

Conservative cabinet minister Fallon insisted late last night: "The biggest threat at the moment isn’t Argentina, it’s Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party who want to override the wishes of the islanders."

Labour's official position is in fact to allow islanders self-determination rights, although Corbyn has said he wants to open a "dialogue" with the Argentinian government. A 2013 referendum on the matter found 99.8% of those balloted voted to retain allegiance to the UK. [/quote]

Oh okay then.
