Explanation: In 1982, the Argentine dictatorship invaded the Falklands islands. Thatcher pounced on this opportunity to look good since she was extremely unpopular back home and beat the argentines, cementing her role in ruining britain and british politics for the next 8 years personally, and with her shadow, fucking forever.
The argentines obviously did not take too well to this, and hate Thatcher, to the point where they pre-photoshop photoshopped her into all kinds of ridiculous images. These are fucking memes, also, Tal Cual is basically on the same level of informative quality as Weekly World News, but actually takes itself seriously.
While the Argentinians may have had a salient argument about owning the islands after the spanish left, they certainly have no fucking argument now that they lost the last war over the islands. However, they still love to pretend the island is theirs, and even put it on their money.
