Iam getting a bit peed off with the Argies at the moment when will they get it in their heads that the falklands are British and will remain British until the people who have lived on the islands for many years decide they don't want to be British anymore.
Heck if they do another thing like this I say ban them from the Olympics because what they have done is just wrong.
I hope that when this athlete competes we boo him so much he comes last.

I am in the US so it is not my business, but one thing I never got was if thre are only a few people living on the falklands and the UK always says that its the locals who want to stay britsh, why has the argentinians just not done a Mexican or Cuban maneuver and dump several thousand of their citizens on the islands?

Then there will be more people saying they want ot be arentinian than british.

Sort of like a squatter taking over a house

Because its not the UK's, is an Island that belongs to South America, and the UK is not their except as an colonist, which means an aggressor, and so it has not jurisdiction or right to appropriate that island for itself and i've known that all my life. Wrong is wrong and nothing makes it right.

I don't actually believe in borders, or anything to do with our world, and believe in actually having heaven on earth, a wonderful equal and advanced world, however, what was done there was wrong.

They're obviously trying to get more of their citizens attention. What ever they're doing, they should just stop now because there's no way we're letting that island go, we'd go to war before even considering it and Argentina would get eaten up.

Blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah...





The Argentines tried taking it by force and got their arses handed to them.. You know... Like colonial aggressors..

They also took their own country from the locals by force too... You know.. Like colonial aggressors...

Read history... May surprise you..

If the Argies are so bold as to take another crack at the Falklands I suspect the fighting would not be limited to the "exclusion zone" this time around. It's a real pity because Buenos Aires is such a beautiful city and it would be a shame if it were laid low by more Argentine stupidity.

What's their end-game? That's what I don't get. There is no benefit to Argentina claiming the Falklands, they are fairly barren rocks. The UK has offered what was in my opinion an overly generous share of any energy profits gained from the islands. Would they really have more of their citizens killed over a matter of pride?

The only people that justify this sickening advert are the very people who do not have a clue about the colonial history of this island.

The island belongs to the UK, the people on the island are British who claim to be British and want to stay British. What more is there to say?

I welcome more provocative statements from Argentina, because it proves they have no intention of taking the islands back by force... but to use the islands as a political calling card to rally support for a political party.

Why isn't she going to the UN, NATO etc? Because they would laugh in her face.

Nothing more then a xenophobic bigoted old lady who should concentrate on her own country and the reform it quite clearly needs.

We offered then part of the income we generate from oil around the Falklands though, they refused so why should we be bullied into giving them something that they don't or have ever claimed to own?

Really annoys me that they try and justify the 'slaying' of these Argentinian soldiers who tried (and failed) to occupy OUR land, by making a mockery of a war memorial of our fallen heroes.

Really gives there campaign backbone in the International community, xenophobes.

So why is Alaska not Canadian???

Argentina have NEVER populated the island, the island was deserted, uninhabited, empty - when it was claimed by the UK... get it???

The people on the island are British citizens and want to remain that way. The Argentinians tried to invade the island and failed horribly.

Do some bloody research of the historical FACTS before you jump on the bandwagon created through the media!

When are people going to realise that the stuff you see on TV was CHOSEN/SELECTED to be viewed... kind of like the bible... select viewing for a select sucker audience.

(warning - this next bit is tounge in cheek comedy) I would love Argentina to try taking the island again.... then Britain could counter invade their country and get a much needed holiday home for everyone

This hasn't been about the people of Argentina from day one, it has been about political advantage hence why she has got every man and his band chirping from the same song, YET she wont go to the UN/ NATO.... anyone that matters to actually do something about it.

As I said before, if she had concentrated more on her people, instead of making ill informed/ unneeded accusations about an island that doesn't belong to her, then maybe they'd have taken the lead of Brazil.

Pathetic.
