There is no such place as the Fulklands!
The Falklands remain in the hands of Great Britain after the Falklands War and as a British dependency. The ownership of these islands are still in dispute with the nation of Argentina.

There are no Fulklands, but if you're asking about the isolated and sparsely-populated Falkland Islands, it depends who you ask. They remain the subject of a sovereignty dispute between Britain and Argentina, who waged a brief but bitter war over the territory in 1982.
Argentine forces, who had landed on the Falklands to stake a territorial claim, were ejected by a British military task force.
Argentina says it has a right to the islands, which it calls the Malvinas, because it inherited them from the Spanish crown in the early 1800s. It has also based its claim on the islands' proximity to the South American mainland. But it has stressed that its claim to the territory is nowadays entirely peaceful.
Britain rests its case on its long-term administration of the Falklands, and on the principle of self-determination for the islanders, who are almost all of British descent.

The Falkland Islands (not the Fulklands, or Malvinas for that matter) are an overseas territory of the United Kingdom (not England).

I'm sorry, do you mean the FALKLANDS? Yes, they remain territory of the United Kingdom. It is a good way to start an argument if you're every with some Argentinians, as it is a very sensitive subject.
