As well as the top five facts you have just read, in recent years, the UK increased its rhetoric about other topics relating to the Malvinas Islands.
The Intercept revealed how the UK spied on Argentina government officials and how it decided to carry out a plan to shape public opinion in Latin America, by creating institutions, programs and plans funded by the UK government. It had also launched a Communications campaign that includes both traditional and social media.
The illegal government authorized illegal hydrocarbon activities in the islands. It had also granted numerous illegal licences for fishing. Both actions were carried out against UN Resolutions. Unilateral actions are not allowed.
The UK has increased drastically the military presence in the Islands, also in contravention of UN Resolutions. It is a matter of importance and of security for all countries in South America… and also in the Southern part of Africa.
The consequences of the British unilateral acts are not limited to the present, since they will continue to have an impact in the future generations.
The peaceful recovery of the Malvinas Islands, South Georgias and South Sandwich Islands and the Surrounding Maritime Areas is a permanent and unrelinquished objective of the Argentine people.

Complete rubbish this. Rhetoric increased as a result of the arrival of the Kirchners, all Britain has ever done is occasionally respond. The issue is considered dead by Britain and British politicians do not pay very much attention at all.

The documents revealed internal publications that made it clear that the group’s cyber offensive mission was to attack all sorts of enemies, from Iran all the way to hackers from Anonymous –or, in this case, Argentina-, “destroying, degrading, discrediting and misinforming” the adversary, through the infiltration of its communication networks.”

Oil exploration is a matter for the Falkland Islands Government. It licenses oil exploration and receives any and all revenues. The UK Government has had no role in it.
Fishing licenses is a matter for the Falkland Islands Government. It licenses this and receives any and all revenues. The UK Government has had no role in it.
The activities are perfectly legal, authorised and licensed.
Neither has the UK increased its presence, the current defensive posture is the smallest it has been since the 1982 Falklands War and it is only there to deter further Argentine aggression against the Falklands.
The only nation to have increased rhetoric is Argentina and it was Argentina that unilaterally withdrew from agreements on oil exploration and fisheries.

The British complied with those agreements 100%, Argentina alleges they didn’t as a pretext to unilaterally tear them up. The truth is the British kept up their side of the bargain but the Kirchner’s wished to wind up the rhetoric on the Falklands to distract from economic woes.

That’s you, alongside Lorton: “The British government, which has continuously administered the Falkland Islands — also known as the Malvinas — since 1833, has rejected Argentine and international calls to open negotiations on territorial sovereignty. Worried that Argentina, emboldened by international opinion, may attempt to retake the islands diplomatically or militarily, JTRIG and other GCHQ divisions were tasked “to support FCO’s [Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s] goals relating to Argentina and the Falkland Islands.” A subsequent document suggests the main FCO goal was to “[prevent] Argentina from taking over the Falkland Islands” and that new offensive cyberoperations were underway in 2011 to further that end”. https://theintercept.com/2015/04/02/gchq-argentina-falklands/

A brief analysis of the demography of the islands clearly reveals the artificial nature of Britain’s claim that the settlers constitute a separate people and are thereby entitled to self-determination. In 1851, 18 years after the seizure of the islands, the total population was 287 –roughly the same number of inhabitants as there was at the height of the community’s development during the period of Argentine administration towards the end of the 1820s. For a century, the number of inhabitants remained between 2,272 in 1911 and 2,841, according to the latest census in 2012. There were peaks, as in 1931 (2,392 inhabitants), and after generally remaining stable, this figure began to decline in 1962 (2,172 inhabitants) reducing to 1,813 inhabitants by 1980. Following the war in 1982, the population grew by almost a third in just thirty years. The reason for this was the economic boom produced by the granting of fishing licenses. These figures demonstrate that the demographic growth of the population is not natural.
The number of inhabitants on the islands is essentially dependent upon the economic and administrative needs of the colonial power.
The population primarily comprises civil servants of the Crown, landowners and business men and women. Today, the second major “village” on the islands is made up of the civilian staff at the Mount Pleasant military base. They represent 15% of the islands’ population. The less well paid jobs are done by immigrants from Chile and Santa Helena. And yet the British citizens alone have the right to vote. Added to this there is also discrimination towards the Argentine citizens. Immediately after the end of the 1982 war, the resident Argentine citizens working for the fuel and transport provision services were expelled. For 17 years Argentine passport holder were banned from the right to visit the islands, even as tourists. An unwritten law prohibits Argentines from owning real estate, to the extent that those inheriting such properties were forced to sell them.
The manipulation of the latest census is blatant. As the majority of the inhabitants were not even born on the islands, the British authorities did not provide this information initially. In place of this, they provided information on how individual islanders identified themselves in terms of their “national identity”. The “result” was that 59% responded “Falkland Islander” and 29% “British”. This clearly shows that many of those who define themselves as “Islanders” are in actual fact British citizens having arrived from the United Kingdom. Indeed, many of them are the supposed “spokespersons” for the inhabitants, either as governmental or legislative representatives or as opinion makers in the islands’ media.

And? The size of the population is irrelevant. The NSGT of Pitcairn has 53 people – with the right of self-determination. If the falklands only had 53 people, they too would still have the right.
Res 2625 clearly states that the NSGT of the Falklands is separate to Britain.
How people identify themselves is also irrelevant.
Cannot see what you hope to achieve with this nonsense.

Mauricio is not referring to the size actually but to the tailor-made composition of the population on the islands, under strict migration control. What you English call “ethnic cleansing” elsewhere. According to the last British census in Malvinas (without taking into account the 1300 British soldiers posted in the Islands), less than half of its population of 2800 inhabitants was born there and that over 40% of those born in Malvinas are first generation native. That is why the UN General Assembly in 1985 specifically rejected two attempts of the United Kingdom seeking to enable its subjects on the islands to exercise the right to self determination.
