“Malvinazo” out-blasted in Ushuaia by ‘Star Princess’ playing “God save the Queen”
A demonstration by pickets in the Argentine Tierra del Fuego port of Ushuaia protesting the docking of the ‘Star Princess’ cruise which arrived from the Falkland Islands was contained by local security forces and the blaring of ‘God save the Queen’.
The incident took place Sunday afternoon and early Monday and according to the organizers the demonstration, under the heading of “Malvinazo” was targeted not to impede the docking of the vessel, as in previous occasions but rather a “massive protest and exposure of the violation of the so called Gaucho Rivero bill”.
The Gaucho Rivero bill which has been passed by several Patagonian provinces bans the calling of red ensign vessels linked to the Falklands’ oil industry, but its interpretation by Argentine extremist groups and militants is made extensive to all other vessels particularly the cruise industry given the media coverage and mouth to mouth impact.
However on this occasion the ‘Star Princess’ did not remain passive and blared through its loud speakers “God save the Queen” at different intervals.
Nevertheless the militant groups managed for several hours to block main accesses to the port of Ushuaia and the exit from the Customs and Migration offices, plus the burning of some banners allusive to the Falklands/Malvinas dispute.
But on Monday through a lateral gate and with the support of over 200 provincial riot police including mounted police and dogs, plus a hundred members from the Coast Guard, port authorities opened the way for the excursion coaches that took the cruise passengers for a local tour.
“Once our protest objective had been accomplished which was not blocking the access to port of the pirate vessel, but rather expose, massively, the violation of the Gaucho Rivero bill, we lifted the pickets and left”, said the organizers of the pickets.
“Ushuaia and Rio Grande Malvinas war veterans, university students, dock workers, teachers, government staff, journalists and simple patriots joined us at the over night sit in with pickets”, added the organizers who admitted weather was very pleasant which helped attract even more companions that shared “a bite of Patagonian lamb and red wine”.
Facundo Armas from Río Grande, ‘Chango’ Aban dock worker and Flavio Barbieri from Ushuaia attributed themselves the organization of the pickets.
“The event had a great repercussion, and we are proud of making public that the Gaucho Rivero bill is being violated. The struggle to ensure the full enforcement of this law is not only referred to the Malvinas Islands but also to the future of Antarctica, much of it belonging to Argentina, and we are not going to give up. We are well aware it’s a long term dispute but we can also be stubborn and audacious” pledged Facundo Armas.
The 109.000 tons Bermudas flagged “Star Princess” belonging to Carnival Cruises was built in Italy in 2002 and can carry 2.590 passengers and a crew of 1.150. She is a regular visitor of the Falklands and south Argentina.

It must have be hilarious to have seen the faces of those Argentine thugs and scumbags when they were blaring out 'God Save the Queen' and were still able to dock and off load the passengers. LOL!
Perhaps The Americans are about to come of the fence next week after all LOL
What a bunch of morons - Look at hoe the local economy is suffering.
Imbeciles. But thanks for the entertainment!
I hope the tour operators take note.
At least the authorities stopped them from getting on to the ship, unlike the crowd at BA.
so they were all pissed ...........fookin losers GOD SAVE THE QUEEN !!!!!
Google it.
Lies upon lies upon lies, - This is what makes up the main religion in argentina today - The malvinas myth.
In fact I bet the sheep wouldn't even get out of bed for that kind of money.
So he's passed away then?
O dear, - I'll tell you this, not a single one of the Venezuelans I know and work with will miss him.
They have always been very outspoken to myself of the scorn they hold/held for that person.
** !! NEWSFLASH !! ** Argentina have never owned or ever likely too own either territories....FACT!
SELF-DETERMINATION......GOD SAVE THE QUEENIE!!!
No way he did not pay for sex. No way.
Now he's a stinking dead RG sympathizer. No offense intended.
A few more to go
This new species is often seen at Argentine ports scaring away people that want to spend money to help them and one of their favourite natural habitats is the United Nations where they can be frequently observed spouting the biggest load of drivel you have ever heard with perpetual blood trails issuing behind as they walk.
Burning tyres? Illegal in civilized countries....
Learn the English language before posting on here please.
In my opinion you are a sad little prick. End of story.
What the Fcuk are you going to do with your life apart from this malvinas shit you believe in?
Seriously - How fcuked up are you??????
I think Pete Bog has it correct - the Malvanistas are genetically modified or are taking super-sized stupidity pills with the stunts they come up with.
It’s about time this joke was put to bed, and Argentina should be taken to court,
And the UK should now ask for sanctions to be placed on Argentina, as a failed state until it learns to grow up.
This is yet another example for the world to see just how argentina acts,
It thinks it is above the law,
Then its about time the law proved to argentina that it is not,
You deserve everything you get.
.
This time there were less than 100 aboard - as holiday season in Argentina has ended- but 2 weeks ago she had 750 on board - and all enjoyed a day ashore in the Islands!
As I said in previous posts. Many Argentinians don't really care about the Falklands at all. We know it's a political stunt that rallies all the nationalist retards, almost without fail. Though, we do mourn for those that died that were too young to see battle, at the hands of incompetent leaders we call the dictatorship. I bet you that half the people there were probably not even Argentine. They are just desperate to keep collecting whatever scraps Cristina can steal for them.
SELF-DETERMINATION......GOD SAVE THE QUEENIE!!!
AHAHHAHAHAHHA Sure I drink to God Save the Queen!
And also I drink to NEWSFLASH !! ** Argentina have never owned or ever likely too own either territories....FACT!
AHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH uk is FINISHED!

And what this vessel did is utterly shameful. Quite frankly pathetic and a sign of weakness. To compare some protesters (who have that right to protest in their own country), with a foreign vessel who of a major international corporation which should act with far more proffessionalism, and who is PRIVILEDGED to use the port facilities at Ushuaia (it is not a right), is ridiculous.
There should be MAJOR repercutions of this incident.
The first one should be that the Argentine government enforces its own laws. Hindering private vessels legally entering Argentine ports is surely against the law.
Second, the central and provincial governments should help these poor people find meaningful employment. It's great for self esteem.
Third, all vessels entering Argentine ports should play their national anthems full blast.
Fourth, Chile should really be using this as a honing example to attract new or increased business.
“Third, all vessels entering Argentine ports should play their national anthems full blast.”
And you really want to be taken seriously?
You in the rest of the world have a severe paucity of self-esteem if you feel the need to play your anthem docking in Argentina. It's actually pretty sad that's all you people have left.
They won't be missed.
I was thinking about sending a letter, but lets face it... in your countries citizens have no real power, you are helpless pawns of groups like Carnival, who are the real “citizens” that decide and run your nations in Europe and North America.
Always the same with you, isn't it? We don't need tourists and the money they bring. We don't need US dollars. We don't need trade. We don't need friends. We don't need anyone! WAH, WAH, WAH!
People like you, Tobias, are the epitome of what is wrong with Argentina. Too busy blaming everyone else for you failings. Too much pride at admit that everything isn't hunky dory in Argentina. Too much pride to admit that your country is once again teetering on the brink of financial ruin, all because of the insane policies of your government.
But rather than address the problems you just blame someone else. Of course, the Argentine governments favourite trick is to convince the people that only 'if' you could just get your thieving hands on the Mythical Malvinas that all of your problems would disappear in a puff of smoke. So therefore you must try ANYTHING to get the Mythical Malvinas, including ignoring human rights, breaking international law, and the most bizarre - cutting off your own nose to spite your face. These constant 'rallies' against the Falklands shows Argentina up as an unstable and untrustworthy country, that no one takes seriously,
You may not care whether Argentina gets any tourists, but all those Argentines whose living depends on those tourists do.
But like many trolls on here, you get 'paid' by La Campora. You don't actually give a damn about Argentina or her people.
Hi dickhead!
“You in the rest of the world have a severe paucity of self-esteem”
Yet another mistake in your written English.
Do I appear to be someone who is intimidated by you?
What a fud.
You are “Projecting” again and therefore your comments can be discounted as a frustrated rant at your own government.
I hear that Montevideo is nice at this time of year though........ perhaps the cruise ships should call there instead.... and watch Argentina, as they cruise by, sink slowly in its own s**t.
In his skewed North Korean view of the world, Argentina would pretty much close the borders to foreign visitors and investment. Though let's face it, his juvenile musings fail to take into account the consequences. For not only will the citizens be happy and proud of their “independence” and solitude, he'll probably turn a blind eye to the “traitors” that are shot trying to leave the glorious and rich motherland.
The brain drain that Venezuela has undergone as part of their glorious leader's autarky is tragic.
A law named after a murderous thug, too right. Let's bring in a few british laws:
The Fred West Law for cowboy builders, the Myra Hindley Law for child abuse and the Jack the Ripper Law for the reform of prostitutes. What a bunch of jokers running argentina.
No excuse for what they did though, pre-medatated murder. They killed:
Captain Brisbane, Juan Simón (foreman of the gauchos), Dickson, Antonio Vehingar and Ventura Pasos (Pasos was Argentinian!)
Plenty of hard evidence to verify the above, - Absoulutely sweet Foxrot Alpha to verify argentinas myth that he lead some kind of revolt against 'The British and their flag'.
Not a shread of evidence. (chortle)
In other cultures this is called attention seeking, and is normally a childhood / teenager condition following neglectful upbringing.
Finally, the cruise ships, the only ones interested in them docking in SA, are the tourists, and mentioned prostitutes. Land is so beautiful, it's difficult to stop them, but it's a win-win really. When they show, the people spits their way, eating lamb, drinking wine. All while the tourists sing “God save the queen” in awe. Priceless!
It is why the country and it's people will never succeed.
It is sickening and why a country full with natural beauty and richness can be destroyed by arrogance and stupidity.
It will never change.
This generation will be poorer and dumber than the last and on and on it goes until Paraguayans are looking down on them.
Idiots.
Again I must ask is the whole country retarded?
Let's face it, the quality of the signs and the promotional tent serving chilled wine - got to be organised by central government as a way to make the local government loose face and go back to enforcing their silly law. The law clearly keeps on hurting the locals but the nationalists don't care.
Epic response by the ship. Must have wound up the protestors sumat rotten (hense there ACTUALLY being a police force there).
Does this women have nothing to do?
I don't run a country but it would be pretty hard for me to drop everything and go somewhere on a days notice no matter who died.
Good grief does she care nothing of her long suffering citizens?
Did she forget a suitcase or two full of U$ in Caracas?
Maybe.
That's right. Argentina historians know he's a murderer and no hero. Not a revolutionary, not an independence fighter, not a figher for greater rights; just a low down scum bag .. and his actions caused the breakdown of the early falklands settlement letting chaos reign... causing Britain to re-establish its authority... and we've looked after the place ever since. Job done.
Nobody down there is interested in succeeding in your game. If you had opened your eyes, you'd realize they don't even want to play it no more. That goes for Asia and Africa as well. I know, I'm giving you too much credit, it's not “yours”. Try getting off the horse same time you open your eyes, that might help.
Do you not see how much your country has fallen in the last 75 years?
Isn't it troubling?
Do you care?

@39 Listen carefully. Take your meds. Take your meds. Take your meds. Cut your throat. Take your meds.
@41 I've looked up “free passage” and the only one I can find is in your rear end. Or any argie rear end for that matter. I agree that the incident was shameful. I think that the “Star Princess” missed a perfect opportunity to turn its deck hoses on the arsonists. Properly displaying its attitude to terrorists!
@43 Surely you don't want the RAF flying overhead launching their missiles whilst the RN surfaces and launches theirs, do you? Will you be paying?
@45 Oh that's good, really good. Have you actually managed to figure out yet your role in a territory ruled by decree? You don't even dare use your “real” name! I can't use mine because, as this article demonstrates, latam is full of vicious terrorists.
@54,56 So what you mean is that, there being no money available, they had to bribe people with food? I suppose that's understandable. Prices in argieland being what they are. I'm so glad that you are all Chavez. In case you haven't kept up, he's DEAD. So you lucky people are all DEAD as well. We can actually smell the corruption and rot from here. Please hurry up and bury yourselves. You are an environmental hazard!
LOL, you have never left your province, much less your country. Don't pretend to know what Asia wants. I'm in Asia right now, been traveling it for months, will be traveling it for a couple more years, then I'm off to Europe, to finish my ENTIRE WORLD trip. I traveled more of your country than you ever have, tip to tip of Argentina......and all South America, and all the Americas.
Asia DOES want to play this game, and some of them are getting pretty good at it......unlike Argentina, that's going back in time to the stone ages, lol
Your way is not the only way, that is merely an illusion.

You don't know where I have been and I frankly don't care where you have been either. Reading a book doesn't make you a scholar.
Can you not see how backward your country is?
Can you not see what has happened in the last 75 years or even the last decade?
Do you not know you've had at least a generation of wealth stolen from you by the Ks?
Are you really this dumb?
god save the queen , the facist regime, that made you a moron
quite apt for maximos clowns, I like new multiple troll log on Stevies take on tourism and wworld politics, smacks of another badly educated campora troll, turning tricks for dollar and food parcels.
Maybe we should send our reserves of horse burgers, maximo says he could eat a horse
Your country needs dollar from the rich western tourists on cruise ships, what do the 12 campora thugs do , set up a road block and light a fire.
Welcome to our country , tell your friends jajajaja pitiful
I owuld have a good rest my trolls as next week you will have no sleep filling and english language website up with crud.
“You in the rest of the world have a severe paucity of self-esteem if you feel the need to play your anthem docking in Argentina. It's actually pretty sad that's all you people have left.”
I'm afraid you missed the point old man, it is the musical equivalent of “UP YOURS DAGOS!”
No, you dimwitted Brittle pizza-faces missed the point.
None of you have the courage to state that what this vessel did is wrong.
In short, the British here are defending the suppression of freedom of speech. Which might as be as well, because that “song” played is a symbol of oppression and the stifle of democracy. By them playing the anthem, it clearly indicated their disdain to freedom of speech and free assembly.
Once again, these anglews on the left side of history.
@72
WWII: your war.
I have seen a lot of peaceful protests in the USA and none of them were burning tires, putting toxic fumes in the air to sicken others.
Again foolish thugs brought to you by MAXI K have embarrased your country and made it look like the 3rd world shi*thole that it is.
I have no problem with tire burning, no argentine has. If you do, well guess what, your standards mean nothing to me.
I personally find mas shootings a sign of anarchy. You obviously don't since you never denounce it. Just different cultures.
I think you will find that under the scenario posed, people protesting without violence and a FOREIGN group coming into a country playing their anthem in the faces of the locals, most people in the world would not find “us” to be the uncivilized, arrogant, and anti-democratic ones.
Instead of trying to be friendly and take the “higher” road, they obstreperously insist they are experts at taking. But somehow Argentina gets to them, look at Cameron and his rants, or Hague when he loses it, or now this.
Very bizarre, anglo culture.
Did you know that before the Normans invaded Britain in 1066 there was no swearing in the UK? Yep it's true, the French gave us swear words! So some brits say 'whoops, pardon my french' if they've accidentally sworn.... so if we are crude, blame the french!
Bait.
By the way, WWII - a war in which the nazi supporters, like argieland, also LOST. Haven't really made you pay yet. But we will!
Please find video below for you to learn the words after all you might be hearing this alot more from now on.

Patagonian Lamb and reed wine what a joke, the lambs are wealthier than most Argentines surviving on $7 a day
Please show us less intelligent people where in yankeeboy's post he says that the shooting of children is ok...because I can't find it.
I find the display disgusting, and there are no mass shootings in the Falklands.
Add the fact that he is moralising the act of burning tyres, pointing fingers from the very same nation that holds the record as the biggest polluter world-wide and that history has seen. Bet he's no fan of the Kyoto agreement and does furk all for the environment, other than pointing out the impact of the burnt tyres in Argentina.
The biggest polluter worldwide is China
And why did they play the “melody”? Did they arrive in their country, because you see, playing an anthem on ship is only reserved when arriving in your own territory.
None of you have the guts to say it, but it was provocative and also a sign that the British nation (represented by this vessel) opposes freedom of speech and democracy. Everyone in Ushuaia now knows it, as does everyone in Argentina. The UK always stood for dictators in the Middle East, but only those who follow world events knew. Now everyone knows where they UK stands in human rights, democracy.
@85
He is the one calling us names for not “denouncing” the burning of some old tires... I guess tires are more important to Americans than children. Makes sense, since cars in that country are essential to survive. Too bad more and more americans can't even afford them anylonger.
The vessel played the national athem AFTER your nationalist terrorists blocked the port. It was an act of defiance against unprovoked agression.
You haven't answered my question. Where in his post does he say that killing children is ok? I'm sure he believes that the guy that opened fire on those kids is a sick twisted person who is currently burning in hell alongside Chavez.
If you want to know what the American people thought of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School then read this:
www.abc.net.au/news/2012-12-15/28-shot-dead-in-us-school-shooting/4429384
In case you don't here are a few quotes:
“When we were travelling up here and we were leaving Washington's main airport, President Obama came on the television screens and there was absolute silence.
”If you can imagine these departure lounges with hundreds and thousands of people, everyone just standing and listening. I saw some people shedding tears. I don't think it has actually sunk in entirely yet the enormity of this horror just how absolutely awful it is.” (North America correspondent Lisa Millar)
“I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear about today's horrific shooting. My thoughts are with the injured and those who have lost loved ones. It is heartbreaking to think of those who have had their children robbed from them at such a young age, when they had so much life ahead of them,” British prime minister David Cameron said.
“This news... horrified me and I wish to express my deep shock and consternation,” French president Francois Hollande said.
“There has to be an end to this kind of senseless killing, and as I say, it strikes at the foundations of their society, the fundamental fears that parents have for their children. Children and teachers should be able to be at a school, a safe and secure environment, so they can undertake that joy of learning.” (Deputy Opposition Leader Julie Bishop)
To say that Americans think their cars are more important than their kids is a disgusting comment and you should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking such a thing.
It does throw up an interesting idea for a new superweapon though.
Why bother aiming nuclear missiles at Argentina when you can just play Her Majesty's National Anthem to them and sit back while they “Go Full Argtard” and burn their own country down.
Speaker cones and long range standing wave generators should be much cheaper than sourcing and enriching fissile material.
I think we're onto a winner here, folks :)))
This same mercopress article, hardly an unbiased source in this dispute, says that on this occasion there was no “blocking” of the port at all.
Thus, the only logical conclusion is that the anthem was played as an expression of opposition to peaceful protest and dissent.
Once again, quite fitting for that song, which when played all over Africa and Asia people associate exactly with that: tyranny, opression, subjugation, and murder.
Long live our noble Queen
God save the Queen
Send her victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to reign over us
God save the Queen
O Lord our God arise
Scatter her enemies
And make them fall
Confound their politics
Frustrate their knavish tricks
On Thee our hopes we fix
God save us all
Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour
Long may she reign
May she defend our laws
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen
Not in this land alone
But be God's mercies known
From shore to shore
Lord make the nations see
That men should brothers be
And form one family
The wide world over
From every latent foe
From the assassins blow
God save the Queen
O'er her thine arm extend
For Britain's sake defend
Our mother, prince, and friend
God save the Queen!
Hmm was the wind blowing towards the ship?
Ever heard of Smoking something out?
Sounds pretty provocative to me
I think the USA would have fired on them...and rightly so.
In the USA we would jail them but there they are gov't employees doing what they were paid to do.
Rgs are nice friendly peaceful people how does the world get it so wrong about them all the time
In SA no one want s to be friends with your country because nothing good or beneficial comes out of it. Simple really.
Thankfully I'm not Spaniard so I don't know about any humiliations. Last time I checked the score is argentine people 3 - 1 british people in actual confrontations.
@100
No I never heard of smoking something out. If they don't like the fumes they are welcome NOT to dock. No one was forcing them by point of a gun.
I notice that you haven't responded to my post at 94 have you changed your mind about how Americans view their kids?
I'm not interested in words, only in action. Not one single objection from Yankeeboy, not one single PROTEST in the USA. And they have had dozens of mass shootings just in the last year to take the opportunity.
They don't care, simple as that.
Credit where credit is due, at least the British and Australians DID show some caring when their mass shootings, and did something about it.
@102
The USA and the UK are the west? You are one brainwashed simpleton.
But no thank you, Argentina wants nothing to do with you.
96.... Didn't they play the Argentine national anthem when government murdered 30,000 men women and children???? Drowns out the screams I have heard
apparently it was the last things the nuns heard before being pushed out of the airplane to their death.
it was also played over the Falkland Islands radio to the captive population when Argentina invaded a more sinister playing I think you will agree. maybe it helped the RG troops with their bowel movements whilst defecating in islanders houses.
Do you mean to tell me they docked without authorization from the Port Authorities and Coast Guard?
Funny I think the Protesters knew it would be there at a certain time and so did the buses and the suppliers.
How odd going somewhere that they're so unwanted
I really think you are mentally unbalanced and need help
Does any of that change the fact that your precious anthem from 1700 to 1960 circa was the sound of death, loss of freedom, and lack of self-determination?
Don't you find this odd?
Did he really have more power over the Ks than it appeared publicly?
Ach shais aichtae sax eer all min.
Foo alls thoan wifie it eer eiwis haivren aboot syne?
Why are you proud that the English destroyed your wonderful language, and that of the Irish?
Fit wad ye ken? The Doric's flooerin' by Auchterturiff.
I bet NONE of them has thought of that!
LOLs
Is is true by the way that the port authorities in Ushaia aim to drown out any further renditions of God Save the Queen by having you recite the iniquities of the British Empire?
The USA can't scrape 1000 dollars to landscape it's capital city with some grass. It can't even fly planes over sporting events anymore, it's closing national parks and airports left and right and can't even afford fireworks on 4th of july.
And you think you can stage something like a multi-milion mission with covert spies, nanobiotech, and the like to infect others with cancer??
LOL. Leave that to really wealthy nations like China, or Russia (the ones that fly your men to space).
Just for starters eh?
Well, as a Scot this, - ''I would say that given that your country was brainwashed into believing Scots was just some form of bastardized English, that's damage enough, and that's just for starters'' could not be more inaccurate regarding the Scots, or Scotland.
Please do continue though with all else you may wish to enlighten us with.
May I ask where you hail from yourself?
Thankfully not from Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, Oceania, Central America, or South America north of La Quiaca, or west of the Aconcagua.
So what is your ethnic origin?
From French ethnique, from Latin ethnicus (“pagan”, “heathen”), from Ancient Greek ἐθνικός (ethnikos, “of or for a nation, heathen”), from ἔθνος (ethnos, “a company”, later “a people or nation, heathens”).
It suits me perfectly that you will never answer this question because it makes people realise you don't want to admit the truth. You call us all the names under the sun and expect us to believe that you are somehow a native American.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
You should have been in the original 'Batman' series.
He won't know what that is because it's American.
I can't respond to that. This is an Introllregnum period. Since the death of Notrolldamus the 12th.
A new successor will be elected soon, and then you can ask him.
That suits me 100%. It exposes you for what you aren't and justifies the assumption of what you are.
I suggest you consider the name Diego. That is what I will know you as from this day on.
Pizza faced ? That's Italian and should apply to the Argentians of Italian background.
However, I do agree with you that the UK National Anthem should not have been played --it should have been Rule Britannia. Much more fitting for a naval theme.
It certainly upset your equanimity. I can feel the heat of your incandescent rage from here. Have you no sense of humour ?
Oh well, into each life some rain must fall and it certainly seems to be pissing down on you now.
Your government has sown the wind and may just be about to reap the whirlwind.
#118
Would I be right in right in thinking that you are using a NE dialect, apart from keech, which is Gaelic, also used extensively in Glasgow ?
Diego does not travel.
Why would I have a sense of humour over a country that shows no respect for other countries?
You are such a clever troll, changing your name all the time.!!!
How can we compete with a person of such integrity. !!!
Just carry on playing with your finger puppets and get banned a few more times.
Banff & Buchan born and bread, but I think you are refering to HansNiesund's post, as I/we in our Doric do not use the word 'keech'.
who's a clever little boy !!!
@96 Yep. So many African and Asian countries that belong to the Commonwealth of Nations. Did you know that there are more African and Asian nations in the Commonwealth that have Her Majesty the Queen as Head of State than there are territories in your piss-arse continent?
@110 Just trying to remind you to die!
@112,115,119,123,125 Desperately trying to find something to say.
@127 It's like you. Sub-human. Amazingly sub.
@133 Why not call yourself what you really are? Shit in a leaky basket!
war veterans = bitter and ax to grind
university students = can't get much more left wing that students
dock workers = were on site
teachers = state employees obviously not doing their job
government staff = THERE'S MORE?
journalists = there was a news story of course
simple patriots = emphasis on simple.
But on Monday through a lateral gate ....... port authorities opened the way for the excursion coaches that took the cruise passengers for a local tour.'
Dopey buggers didn't even know here was side gate...... some blockade.
What a shame the ship didn't have a copy of 'Rule Britannia' that they could have played.... Ushuaia having been usurped by the RGs and all.
Remember that in January P&O cruise line suspended stops in Argentina and confirmed calls in the Falklands.
The tourist industry in Puerto Madryn, Chile, must be over exited.
I believe they 'shot their load' when that was announced.
Yeah, but migrants to the city .... at least in Aiberdeen the Hielanman's umbrella is a bar.
But just so you know I am very happy with the USA budget cuts I don't ever want the USA to be like Argentina never ever ever.
It would be sad to be a filthy, corrupt, bankrupt country with no hope for the citizens.
At the rate you are going you'll be #4 in SA in 3 yrs then how many more to get to the bottom?
Brocher me like.
More of a teuchter.
Aye, aye. Fesher fyowk am fae lik.

The first time I ventured into Buchan, I couldn't understand a word that was said but again, the Glasgow dialect is just as bad for the northern loons and quines.
I never really got into the Aberdeen speech until I watched Scotland the what - if you can remember that far back.
Nae the bunker, the bunker!
Sorry mate.
The “argie” trolls???
Celtic languages and Scots have more of a future in Argentina than they do in the UK!! Ask the Welsh.
That's the difference between an oppressive central government and a country made of provinces.
You have heard of devolution, right?
Lol, nice riposte, but another fine example of the phenomenon of projection.
I wouldn't know, but you could try asking somebody who might think that.

FYI peasants in EU UK USA live much better than the “middle class” Argentinians. Much much better.
You should hope to be one of our peasants.
Do you realize BA Prov teachers are FIGHTING for U$450/mo salary? Are you kidding me? U$15/day! And they're considered the “educated middle class” it takes almost a year to buy a laptop! You can't even keep clean on U$15 day.
You don't know the meaning of the word peasant
fool
Yes they are trying to bully a small nation of people out of their land.
Clearly Argentinians do not understand how important money from tourism is. Then again, looking at the state of the Argentine economy, they seriously don't have a clue!
So the ship playing the UK national anthem is in opposition to freedom of speech?
Tell me, do you think Argentina is a country where freedom of speech is supported? Think carefully now, considering your government is trying to gag Clarin and the judiciary.
But assuming you do think this, then surely, when faced with a demonstration in opposition to your own position, the natural thing to do in a country supporting free speech is to counter it.
The Argentine protestors exercised their rights in a free country using the principle of freedom of speech by demonstrating against the presence of that ship. In the same spirit of freedom of speech, the ship produced a counter demonstration.
I fail to see how playing the national anthem was in any way anything other than a counter protest. To read anything more into it shows the lack of logical, or common sense in your thinking - a not uncommon problem for Argentines, it seems.
You state .....'argentine people 3 - 1 british people in actual confrontations'
That doesn't sound like a fair fight at all. Think you should go for 10-1 in any future confrontations, but even then you would have no hope.
Correct. No blocking of the port. However, movement out of the port was blocked.
“Nevertheless the militant groups managed for several hours to block main accesses to the port of Ushuaia and the exit from the Customs and Migration offices, plus the burning of some banners allusive to the Falklands/Malvinas dispute.
But on Monday through a lateral gate and with the support of over 200 provincial riot police including mounted police and dogs, plus a hundred members from the Coast Guard, port authorities opened the way for the excursion coaches that took the cruise passengers for a local tour.”
A peaceful protest ? Why was this HUGE show of force necessary ? Did the authorities expect an escalation of this “peaceful picketing”. The vessel did not dock unannounced and was presumably encouraged to come by the port authority and tourist board by long standing agreements.
If you had been a passenger on the ship, would you have cheered the protesters and shouted solidarity - we refuse to disembark to show we support you.
I would imagine the passengers would be saying I don't fancy getting off the ship with that crowd baying and waving banners at us.
It was obvious that the demonstrators wanted to deny access from the port and keep the passengers from leaving thereby giving the message that the tourists were not welcome.
I think the message will have been received. Requiring a police escort to go on a bus tour. Sounds a bit third world.
As to the playing of the National anthem, it was played on the ship, NOT on Argentinian soil, which, I agree, would have been wrong.
Why is it only Argentina that sees it as a threat. Cruise lines had certainly best avoid the place. I anticipate a SA cruse at some point, I would love to see the Falklands and Uraguay and Chile, but if it goes anywhere in Argentina I'd definitely give it a miss. God Save the Queen.
Gads what a place.
I remember at my 1st job I got a 6% raise and was ecstatic!

The multiple personality trolls like yourself.
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuujajaja
I can't find the above word in a Spanish dictionary, 35 vowels and only 3 consonants, sounds like a very primitive language so I presume that it is you howling in petulant frustration at the moon - or is it the cry of the extinct wolf ?
BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES (around the Falkland Island territorial waters),
FALKLAND ISLANDERS NEVER, NEVER, NEVER,
SHALL BE ARGENTINA'S SLAVES.
Sorry, God Save The Queen is used by many British dependencies and the music (unknown English author from 1619) by the United States for My Country, ‘Tis of Thee’. :o)
It´s little anyway, and in most provinces it´s less.
Here in middle schools teachers are paid per weekly hour, so if they don´t get enough hours they may earn much less.
About the port blocking, it is against our Constitution, it´s a serious violation. Unfortunately our government didn´t do anything when protesters againt supposed river pollution in an Uruguayan mill blocked two international bridges fot year. Quebracho is an extremist organization which is the main promotor of the port blocking. They are violent as you can see. They don´t represent anyone. But it´s up to the government to stop them. Good for you if playing a hymn comforts you, but it means nothing to anyone here, because we don´t even know it. I´m sorry that the tourists can´t come and see that wonderful land, and the Fueguinos lose chance of good business, too. Fortunately for us in Buenos Aires there are thousands of tourists and many ships coming all the time.
I know I don't come here that much, or at all really in the last few weeks, but I saw this brilliant article and thought it might be good to share with the Islanders on here as they prepare to vote... socialistunity.com/falkland-islanders-should-vote-no-in-referendum-on-british-sovreignty/
See it doesn't take much for some people's inner monarchist to show.
Does that put Maximo in line to the Argentina throne?
It seems that you have visited the tail end of each older thread to drop your 'stink bomb' post and spam us with this article, but I see you cannot even be bother to attempt an argument.
You are so desperate!!!
LOL!!!
VIVA THE FALKLANDS!!!
“I know I don't come here that much, or at all really in the last few weeks”
Please do us all a favour and don't come back for a few years.
