Roger Waters says Falklands should be Argentine, attacks Cameron's 'bullshit'

Chilean television has transmitted the controversial interview with Roger Waters in which the former Pink Floyd rock star says he believes the Falkland Islands, claimed by Argentina as "Las Malvinas", should ultimately be considered Argentine.

To the question: "Falklands? Malvinas? What is your take? Is it British or is it Argentine?" by Chilean journalist Amaro Gómez-Pablos, Waters replies: "I think it should be Argentine.

"My concern as an Englishman is that they've been used and the argument has been used for narrow political ends in England, first by Margaret Thatcher and now by David Cameron.

"There's nothing they like more than to toe the line in the Houses of Parliament and stand there with hand on hip and say: the Falkland Islands are British and they always will be and the Falklands islanders' wishes are paramount and as long as they want to be British ... Bullshit!" Full story...
