The DT reports that inviting Argentine Premier Cristina Kirchner to Thatcher's funeral is "another provocation":
Héctor Timerman, the Argentine foreign minister, has previously accused the British government of inflammatory gestures over the Falkland Islands, including the "militarisation" of the South Atlantic.I wouldn't be surprised if there are bouquets in the shape of West and East Falkland, just to ram home the message.
"Why do they invite me to a place I hadn't planned to go?" he told local radio after Baroness Thatcher's family invited the Argentine government to send a representative, saying it would be "amusing".
