Britain should open negotiations with Argentina over immigration to the Falklands and the distribution of natural resources in the south Atlantic, the actor Sean Penn says.
In a Guardian article, Penn criticises Britain for sending a message of "pre-emptive intimidation" to Argentina after the deployment of Prince William to the islands.
Penn has written for the Guardian after he was criticised for describing Britain's claim to sovereignty over the Falklands as "colonialist, ludicrous and archaic". The actor said his remarks had been distorted by the "transparently corrupt and non-diligent propaganda machine" of the British press. » | Nicholas Watt, political correspondent | Thursday, February 23, 2012
