Falkland Islands Government on Twitter
The Falkland Islands Government has moved into the world of micro-blogging. The global phenomenon of Twitter has been rapidly changing the way that we communicate and is widely used by international journalists as an important source of information.
Last week saw the inauguration of the Falkland Islands Government Twitter feed in a move designed to allow more people than ever across the globe, access to news and information about, not only FIG business, but about the Islands as well.
“Twitter is fast becoming an essential way of communicating with the media and members of the public across the globe.
This Twitter feed gives us another outlet to the world and will help us spread a positive message about life here on the Falkland Islands,” said MLA Dick Sawle.

It is unworthy to make any comments on these UK's part bare islands !
Argentina has no rights, nor ever had any rights over the Falkland islands.
Job done!
They have no rights what so ever. They are what they are the scourge of mankind!
What are your terms for an honourable settlement, Graham? Pray tell.
I cant remeber British troops laying down their arms,and being shipped back home by the enemy,what I do remember is thousands of Argies laying down their arms and being kicked off “their so called land”
Well Graham, has the cat got your tongue? We are all waiting to hear what your terms are for an honourable settlement. Do tell, we are all ears.
Now be careful because where I am sitting at the moment there is another megalomaniac who wears a skirt just waiting for a knock on her door by the good guys. :)))))))
If she replies then its giving official recognition to a legitimate democratic authority Argentina tries very hard to pretend doesn't exist :)
Once she's back on the pop at Casada de Rosas (or whatever it's called), she'll return to planning World Domination by Peronism, or read Mills & Boon's latest, whichever seems important when viewed through a shot glass.
Also review the facts before, Argentina is a democratic and peaceful country. CFK The president is as respectable and efficient as it is for you Margaret Tacher
Redhoyt---- I beg to differ, we did count them at Agincourt 10,000 I think and at Trafalgar 2,218, Oh I nearly forgot to mention the 1,025 Spanish and 4,000 captured along with the 11 ships 1,383 wounded at the same battle. Just thought I would mention it for reference when the argy liars begin to spout about British losses and defeats at any long forgotten battle in Latin America.
You talk about 'honor' as if you are the sole arbiter of it, when you and your fellow malvinist-peronist parasites are a bunch of neo-nazis bent on a path of insular economic calamity, you're no more aware of what honour, or commitment might mean than a child in nappies.
You are the product of 70-odd years of Peronist indoctrination, you believe the Big Lie, you cannot believe anything else, because you'd have a brain fart.
Argentina owes its rather flawed and immature democracy to losing a fight in 1982, you should be bowing at our feet, not telling lies about how democratic and peaceful you are, you owe us a great debt but are too stupid to realise it.
In fact, when it comes to debts, you owe the World and have no intention of paying; this is not the 'respectable and efficient' nation that you appear to want to paint here. Lets face it, you know it in your own heart, your country is corrupt, and lives on lies and paco, and all you want with the soul of your very being is to emigrate away from the shithole you live in.
I actually dislike Thatcher, if you break me in half you'll find the words 'Labour' running through me like a stick of seaside rock, I'll never vote tory, but one thing I admire about her is the strength of character she displayed during the Falklands Conflict, she righted a wrong perpetrated by a criminal junta, the same criminal junta you praise for illegally invading British Territory, because in your indoctrinated eyes, it was righteous, but...erm..., UNSC Resolution 502 says different.
Your side always quotes false interpretations of non-binding UNGA Resolutions, or made up crap vomited by the UN C24, yet the facts are, you lot talk a grand load of old shite that no-one is buying.
Stop those negative waves man (well I did just watch Kelly's Heroes), wake up, think for yourself for once, build your country with the resources you have within your borders (does not include the Falkland Islands, SGSSI, or British Antarctic Territory).
haha your comments make me laugh, they know nothing of Argentina and Peronism or her story. Impotence what?
to pay and honor we speak, you see:

English honor in sports?

two examples of what they are pirates, there are thousands more
A joke country that no one takes seriously and never will. Britain runs rings around your country as if it was a sport. You talk of pirates as if the Spanish who you are descended from did not do a bit of pirating www.thepirateking.com/books/books_piratesownbook_spanish_pirates.htm as we see were are not the only ones that can be called pirates.
From now on old son I think I will start to call everyone that hails from Argentina cutthroats, well you have no honor, you attack civilized human beings for no good reason as you did in 82, you lie your way through life you never honour your debts as history shows. oh yes we now have another word for people that reside and were born in Argentina. CUTTHOATS. And dispicable ones at that.
I see that you want to start a smear campaign aArgentina, go ahead! no matter how English is not appreciated or in Europe or the world.
20 Wireless: with the resources .... You Have Within your borders
(Does Not include the Falkland Islands, SGSSI, or British Antarctic Territory).
”You got any evidence or document to support it. If there was resting on the ARA Belgrano and HMS Sheffield, HMS Coventry ......
another story is written in latin america, you are not including the region returning to Europe.
He must be having a brain fart.
Improve my English, return it to MercoPress in some months. maybe in that time the Malvinas Argentinas.
you try to answer in Spanish without knowing anything about the language. difficult
So you will wait for ever.
No chance.
