Falklands War

Thank you for that.



With regard to the OP's gripe, Channel 4 and the BBC would seem to me to qualify as Main Stream Media who actually have, in fact, covered it. Very well.

The OP started this thread in 2021. It’s obvious the 40th anniversary of the conflict would be covered more.

Ah! Didn't notice that. Fair point.

Wonder why he started it back then, then.....................you wouldn't really expect much of a spread for the 39th. anniversary, would you.
