who knows, and we havent even started drilling yet............

Argentine anger is likely to increase after Desire Petroleum, the British oil company that has towed a rig from Scotland to about 60 miles off the north of the Falklands, announced on Monday it had begun drilling.

Looks like they started drilling today (Monday)

This is getting almost funny now! Hugo: 'Aww common, just givea the islands back, you know you wan't to'

And, as I pointed out in the main thread, Uruguay are in talks to have the oil refined in their nation. Chile is also offering a second station. Even Argentinian tourist cruises defied the decree and visited the Falklands - without permission.

Mexico is unwilling to support the claim and Chavez insulted the Queen.

So, clever diplomacy by Argentina

If it comes to a scrap I have a feeling that the UK will remind the Argentinians and Chavez that they have friends too. Big friends. With big toys.
If Chavez wants to help his friends then the Brits have every right to cash in some favours with their friends. Mentioning no names......

Forget them. What's this jokers problem with the Queen?

I'm pretty sure if you need any help the rest of the commonwealth would be only too happy to oblige.

This is gonna look like an anti-UK rant but eh.

Chavez is right. Empires are over. The UK should be no difference. Also IMO the monarchy should all be hanged or at the very least kicked out of their palace, and stripped of everything they own that belongs to the people.

Also, the UK cannot afford another war. It is on the verge of bankruptcy. The british people should go to war with their own government instead of going to war with Argentinians, which by the way, were destroyed economically by the big banks, most of them originating in the UK.

The UK should stay on it's freaking island and shut the hell up, you screwed the world enough. Continue being slaves, while drinking beer all day long and getting your panties in a bunch over a freaking sport match while your country crumbles under the tyranny, you seem to like it.

BTW, that was a rant against the UK monarchy, which i hate with all my being, the Uk government, which is corrupt as hell, the banks, which are screwing everyone in the world and the lazy dumb english people.

It seems like all the good people of england have left this hellhole and I don't blame you for it, I would have done the same.

There's a lot of demanding going on lately from various nations to others. It's getting a bit dull.

Unless he's just looking for popularity points.
Epic Fail.

Those islands are British. You may come from the sort of place that turns its back on its dependents but thats not how we do it here in the UK. If the people want to remain British like those in Gibralter then they should remain so. i live in Staffordshire, if so and so decided to invade this part of Britain then I would hope London would come to the rescue. Same applies to the Falklanders.
