Why should you? The Guardian has a "Falkland Islands" sub-section in its
UK news and even several articles on Falkland Islands holidays. I am a regular reader of the Guardian (besides other newspapers) myself and
would never refer to those nice, chilly islands as "Malvinas"

(Perhaps I should call it the Malvinas for the benefit of the Guardian
and its readers).
You presumably did not read the article in the Guardian for the
anniversary of the attack on the Falklands.
No, but I had a look now. There isn't just one article, there are
several ones in the Guardian on that occasion. Only one of them refers
to the Malvinas, written by an Argentian guy (in fact their foreign minister). So what - freedom of speech, and not necessarily reflecting
the views of other Guardian authors (such as Patrick Wintour) or of its readers, and definitely not mine. Is it really surprising that the controversial issue is still viewed quite differently in Argentina?
