    Wow. Something called the Malvinas Forum is against the referendum....

    Yep! You read it here first! Who would have thought?

    God can we expect these sort of laughs right up to the referendum? This is hardly news!

    Who cares what some hobbyist, insignificant forum says?

    Not to mention the referendum is on the Falkland's not some mythical set of islands called the Mavlinas.....

    I'm now just waiting with baited breath to find out what the Malvinas Forum, USA Chapter has to say?

    I'm guessing it's going to be a declaration of the copypasta kind.

    “He added that Argentina does not want to infringe in the “lives of the British people in Malvinas;” - of course you do, that's precisely what you're doing now
    you fat liar.

    “we want to defend their interests because they are in Argentine territory, but this does not mean we must consent their wish to remain British.” - holding people against their will, forcing them to associate with a nation to which they have no links, and ultimately wants them ethnically cleansed (shown on many an advert) goes against everything the UN stands for, you fat liar.

    Do these people know that telling lies is a sin or do they just sit there with dulce de leche dripping off their fat cheeks and spout the usual territorial nationalism nonsense based upon fake history?

    I'm guessing he knows it's a sin and stays awake at night knowing it, waiting for judgement.

    There seems to have been a surge in Argentine trolling in the last week. Is it one with multiple identities getting more and more frustrated or has the Argentine government pushed its footsoldiers into taking to the web?

    I'd say let them carry on as the quality of their posting makes them sound like demented teenagers.

    Ahhhh. What a shame, never mind but on a more grown up level my heart bleeds purple p!ss. Suck it up Malvinistas there's so much more to come. So much more for you to bitch and blither about. 'Malvinas' is simply the Spanish (not Argentine take note) name for the islands that they recognised as British territory before they recognised Argentina.

    The Falkland Islands are British, the Falkland Islanders are British, by choice and by free association and self determination. They are no more 'implanted' than Argentinians are and never wiped out an already established, indigenous population as the Argentinians did.

    They are British and they will remain so until they decide otherwise or until Argentina can find somebody to take the islands for them because they are not capable of doing it for themselves.

    One day the Falkland Islands will be an independent territory, a country in and of itself. It might be centuries away but it will happen and thanks to their aggressive, racist, expansionist, bullying, colonial wannabe neighbour, I expect that they will be armed to the teeth.

    SELF DETERMINATION FOR ALL PEOPLE!

    Dante Dovena is asking CFK to give the Medal “ The Liberator San Martin Order”
    to The Mayoy of Colonia and a Senator because they agreed with Dante.
    Please,Please can I have one, I have been a good boy and supported you too.
    Tried Googling Argentine medals to see how many medals they issue and my computer blew up.

    I can't get over the sheer politic skill of the “Malvinas Forum” in Uruguay, where the best picture is the ARGENTINE AMBASSADOR in front of an ARGENTINE FLAG.

    I have studied subtle and cunning plots and propaganda. This isn't. I've seen bull rhinos with more subtlty and amoeba with more cunning. Hell, you could't produce a much more obviously pro-Argentina propaganda piece if you tried.

    @11 I suspect they don't want to include the argentinians-pretending-to-be-uruguayans like the folks they wheeled out at the Malvinas Forum, UK. Some grinning stooges staring back at them and agreeing with whatever they're told, taking one for the Vaterland.

    What I personally find funny, is that in managing the long tail that are the few UN recognised dependent territories, not including Dokdo or Patagonia, they have tried to run a referendum in Tokelau twice.... ending in epic FAIL.

    If this doesn't tell people the C24 is a bag-o-shite then I don't know what will.

    Many people, even those with considerable education, will find it difficult to understand the phrase “Malvinas Forum, Uruguay chapter”. The problem is the use of unintelligible words. “Malvinas”, for instance, has no valid translation. Being imaginery, “Malvinas” may “exist” in the vicinity of Oz and Neverland. Anyone who manages to find “Malvinas”, probably as they fall asleep, should keep watch for Dorothy, Wendy, Tinker Bell, the Cowardly Lion and the Tinman. A “chapter”, of course, is part of a book. Often a novel. Or, make believe. Realistically, “Malvinas Forum, Uruguay chapter” translates, freely, as “brain-dead, brainwashed, propaganda, crooked, treacherous wankers”.

    “Malvinas Forum, Uruguay chapter” is provocative and offensive. There are NO “Malvinas”. “Forum” implies an open debate. “Uruguay” is an argie undeclared province. And there are more “chapters”. The ones where “peaceful” argieland takes military action. The ones where the UK turns argieland into glass and shadows.

    Now if he was talking abt Chile or brazil, or even Iran, north Korea
    Or even Iceland, threatening or abusing Argentina,
    He might have a valid point,

    But if he genuinely calls a referendum held by freely elected people as provocative and offensive,

    What would he and CFK and Argentina call,
    Threatening, abusive , intimidation , blockading , and insulting a friendly tiny unarmed defenceless islands , of the Falklands,

    A tea party perhaps,
    The guy is as insulting as the faeces from his back side is,
    Even if he does use pasteurised images of CFK.
    Insulting little maggot.

    Dante Dovena is just a fat drunken argie with pretensions that his view counts for anything in the Falklands (there are STILL no Malvinas you twats). From what I have seen over the last 18 months on MP his views count for nothing in AR.

    But what really gets my ire is the antics of the two so called Uruguayo Ministers.

    Dumb-fuck Almagro is nothing other than an argie sock puppet from when he was Ambassador to the shithole that is AR today.

    WTF Defence minister Eleuterio Fernandez Huidobro is doing there is beyond me because he clearly owes his allegiance to Dean Man Not Walking. By allowing a contingent of Venezuelan troops to come to Uruguay and get a ‘Declaration of allegiance’ to Chavez made WITHOUT DIRE RETRIBUTION or indeed any censure on those involved, especially the ‘officers’ shows he is clearly unsuited to this position.

    I suppose this is what you get from uneducated lefties and communists. Roll on 2014!

    This sorry assed Argentinean was trying to pass himself off as American on another commentary page, typical behavior from the land of liars.

    As Canadian that worked in an industry over forty years with Americans I have never heard one of them use that expression. So while I don't know what nationality you are, I for certain know you are not an American period

    Of course the Malvinas Forum is pro-Argentine. Who do you think organises and funds them? Ambassador Dante Dovena is a deadbeat second-tier Peronist politician. I suppose he was given the position as punishment for not sharing properly with CFK, he can't steal half as much from Montevideo.

    “Both Almagro and the Defence minister Fernandez Huidobro have been summoned to Congress to explain what really happened in Mendoza at the summit and to explain the presence during a week in Uruguay of 250 Venezuelan forces, without approval from the Legislative, and which on several occasions in meetings with their peers in military barracks swore allegiance to the Bolivarian Socialist regime of President Hugo Chavez.”

    See @9 ChrisR post.

    I think you must have missed it as you did not post.
