Ello Brits, have a nice pint of your own medicine!

So you are all for occupation of lands where the inhabitants do not wish to be occupied?

But you're for Argentina occupying islands where the inhabitants want to remain British and have repeatedly expressed this fact, even when Argentina treid to pay them off a few years back, but it would be ok to go against their Human Rights and hand them over to Argentina? Good luck with that!

No I'm not. I'm merely stating that the British are on the course for a piece of their own medicine.

I'm against any kind of colonialism.

Allow me to post the same question since you didn't answer it(because your brain can't handle the answer)

No I'm very much against it.

?

This just seems like a moneymaking scheme from both Argentina and the Brits to me though. And somewhere there's a conflict of interests...lol.

Britain has repeatedly said that it is down to the inhabitants, they even offered Argentina joint split on the Oil issue, but Argentina didn't want it. Of course now that more gas and oil has been found, everyone wants a piece of the cake, but Argentina's claim is rubbish, the only support is that the islands are closer to them, even though they are still hundrerds of miles from them. You are right that now it could well be about resource, but also political in that Argentina is an absolute mess, I don't know where people are getting glorious rising economy from. Inflation is through the roof, poverty is through the roof and corruption has always been through the roof and these are words from Argentinian guys that I actually know.

I am against occupation of any kind, but the argument that Britain occupied in the past and even still at present with Afghanistan and Iraq and Libya even, is weak. Two wrongs do not make a right for the inhabitants and the general public across the globe, no matter who you are. Regardless of Britian's foreign policy, if the inhabitants wish to remain British, they should have the right and freedom to do so.

Me thinks it goes far beyond the islands and its inhabitants,,,,it would seem that these days its more about natural resources-which is probably on par with what most of the troubles elsewhere in the world are now concerned with.

And it's even weaker for British people to come out and scream foul about colonialism. When did the British ever go to a place, ask the people whether or not they wanted to be colonized, and then colonized them? Never, correct?

Yeh yeh, bunch of hypocritical talk...what about the Palestinians? Or the Kurds? Ow wait...Brittain? BBC censors the word Palestinian

Right...

Stop speaking on behalf of your government and start speaking for yourself, for crying out loud...

As the tridents are made in USA,you will need our permission to launch the tridents,else we could reprogram the Trident IFF codes to target London .

We americans would like to have falklands for ourselves.

Incorrect. More conspiracy based non-sense. The warheads are British. No US permission is necessary for the UK to operate its nuclear deterrent. It is a complete myth. You are talking complete non-sense.

You are yet again spoiling threads by making these completely untrue allegations.

Unless you have any actual evidence for this, I would suggest you refrain as it seems you are making disparaging comments against a group of people based on their ethnicity.

Clearly you haven't read indian history.NCERT and indian historian estimates indian deaths due to british genocide at 150-250 million.But real figures are higher with levels of 1.8 billion.

sites.google.com...

It is estimated that 1.8 billion Indians died avoidably from dire deprivation under the British, notable atrocities including 10 million Indians butchered in reprisals for the 1857 uprising (see Amaresh Misra's book “ “War of Civilizations: India AD 1857” –(Volume I -The Road to Delhi; & Volume II- The Long Revolution) ” : warofcivilisations.blogspot.com... ), the Great Bengal Famine of 1769-1779 (that killed 10 million Bengalis, 1/3 of the population), 2 centuries of British-imposed famines that killed scores of millions, most notably in the latter half of the 19th century and culminating in the 1943-1945 Bengali Holocaust, the man-made atrocity in which 6-7 million Indians in Bihar, Bengal, Assam and Orissa were deliberately starved to death by the British in the World War 2 Bengal Famine (see the transcript of the BBC broadcast “Bengal Famine” involving me, Nobel Laureate Professor Amartya Sen and other scholars: www.open2.net... ; see also Gideon Polya's book “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History”: globalavoidablemortality.blogspot.com... ).

This is more evidence (if more evidence were wanted) of India “moving forward” (to quote the horrible contemporary Newspeak) after suffering 2 centuries of genocidal British rule in which avoidable deaths in India from British-imposed deprivation in the period 1757-1947 totaled 1.8 billion, an Indian Holocaust and an Indian Genocide as defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention. Using census and other estimates of Indian population in these periods, post-invasion excess deaths totaled 0.6 billion, 1757-1837; 0.5 billion, 1837-1901 under Queen Victoria; and 0.4 billion in 1901-1947; this being 1.5 billion in total and 1.8 billion victims if the carnage in the various royalty-ruled Indian British Protectorate States are included.

You are the biggest mass murderers on the entire planet.

Madhusree Mukerjee systematically successively analyzes the background to the Bengali Holocaust in a prologue that deals with British India and the massive recurrent man-made famines, commencing with the 1769-1770 Bengal Famine in which 10 million people died due to British greed. Not quoted is Amaresh Misra’s book “War of Civilizations: India AD 1857” that estimates that 10 million people died in British reprisals for the 1857 Indian rebellion. While the appalling famine history of British India is outlined the genocidal aspect is downplayed. Thus it can be estimated from British census and comparative mortality data that 1.8 billion Indians died prematurely less than 2 centuries of British rule. While Mukerjee makes clear the British economic exploitation of India, she downplays the reality that endemic poverty and hunger in India made it possible for a distant island of scores of millions to rule hundreds of millions of disempowered Indian subjects with the help of well-fed sepoys and other collaborators...

Come on Mods, when are you going to ban this idiot?

Once again he is off thread with his 'revisionist history' and anti British bigoted diatribe.

news.sky.com...

My first post on here. I really cant get my Head around why the Falklands are disputed. In my opinion we settled before argentinia even exsisted. The islanders want to remain british out of choice. The fact that argenina are planning on cutting off the suplies to the islands shows the mentality of the argentinian government. They have NO legitimate claim to the islands.

On the issue of the sky article, i think sean penns comments are very short sighted and laughable. The fact we have tried to negotiate over island that legitimately belond to us shows we are not being colonial at all. He should stick to acting or at least google falkland islands before he starts spouting off. South america and north america were colonised bu i dont see any britsh actors demanding that the respective governments enter into negotionations with the indigenous peope over the handing back of thier land. I do believe the argentinian president is of spanish-german decent herself. People in glass houses and all that.
