Feelings still run high over the Falklands

Publishers were paid £1million to print thousands of copies of the encylopaedia for children.

But instead of calling the islands Las Malvinas – the name Argentina insists on using despite losing the war – a map depicted the territory as the Falkland Islands and put the initials GB in brackets alongside.

The publishers have printed thousands of clarification slips, but critics want the entire encyclopaedia replaced with a version showing the islands under Argentine sovereignty.
