 A sixth generation Falkland Islander, Mike Summers, is a member of its legislature as well as representative to the Commonwealth Games Federation. Despite the 1982 war over the disputed territory – the Argentine government calls the islands Isla Malvinas – which Britain won and which burnished Margaret Thatcher’s credentials as the Iron Lady, controversy remains, not least because of oil found off its coast in 2010. Summers, in town for deliberations of the Commonwealth Games Federation, also weighs in on the relevance of that grouping and disputed plans to shift the Federation's headquarters to Kuala Lumpur.
