I don't think India is anywhere near as stupid as you seem to think they are.
#3 because of India's past, they know what a colony is versus a country that determines it's on destiny. India had Ghandi protesting British rule. I do not see the Falkland's version of Ghandi trying to remove British rule.....do you vestige?
Jun 19th, 2013 - 01:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0Did anyone see India's statement of support other than tinman thanking through his office in Buenos Aires?
Ah yes #4 the British never wiped out any populations.
Jun 19th, 2013 - 02:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0Aborigines ?
North American natives ? (Canada + US)
Im sure there was plenty of Africans too... and the Boers.
Plenty of massacres in India.
Oh yes, then theres the issue of the Koh-i-noor (classic English name) diamond sitting in the queens hat.
(Oh and Israel ... nice idea on paper, seems to have been one or two snags though)

Actually, Britain tried to protect Palestine from Israeli terrorists.
That might interfere with your anti-Semitic rhetoric though :-)
Am I missing something here, what did the Indians actually say about the Falklands, a fellow commonwealth nation?

Jun 19th, 2013 - 09:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0I checked with my Indian relatives. No-one even noticed that Turdman even visited. They all love the Commonwealth and the Queen and are proud of their British heritage. The blend of Indian culture and British classiness is much respected. The Irish side of my family didn't notice any visit by R Juntinians either. So much of what Mercopress printed is just an inconsequential wind up. Still it feeds the Trolls and traitors that comment here.

The American War of independence had as much, if not more to do with British refusal to allow the American colonists to expand any further into Native American territory as it did with taxation or representation. The war between the UK and the USA that started in 1812 was because of British trade tax on American goods following the USA's support for the French during the Napoleonic War, American desire to invade and occupy Canada and, get this, British support for native Americans in their struggle against American expansionism.
Interesting.
Oh dear Tinkerman, you truly are a 100% muppet, British Relations are good if not great with India, Britain invested heavily in India to make it “in some ways” what it is becoming today Britain always had respect for our Indian counterparts, we fought wars together against the very people “Nazi's” that you hid in your country, in fact Timmerman and Kirchener are Both German names, so I'd suggest that you Mister Timmerman and your Girlfriend silicone face are indeed descendents of Nazi's.

I believe their are several binding UN resolutions in my imagination which demand on behalf of Horses that both these chains sit down and discuss how they will do exactly what the horses want as ultimately Tesco's and Asda are implanted superstores in our nation!

Jun 19th, 2013 - 01:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0UK governments have done some terrible things in the past in the pursuit of making money: but there have been efforts to right wrongs, apologise, etc.
And yes, the British aren't in the habit of wiping out populations (you cannot tax the dead).
Of all the countries that Argentina could go to with their bleeding heart story, India is the obvious one, to me, that would think it was some sort of practical joke.
A little bald white man of Soviet/Jewish extraction goes moaning to the Indian subcontinent about how islands over a thousand miles from BA have been stolen from him nealy 200 years ago.
“Is he spending any money?.. Then smile and nod.”
I find it strange that Argentina do not realise that the rest of the world has moved on in the last 200 years. If some of the numptys that post on here visited the UK, I wonder if they would think the British of Indian heritage were Indian colonial occupiers in the UK?
Typical Argentina - ready to play the anti-Western Third World solidarity card when it suits it, but also ready to pretend it's a European enclave that has nothing in common with darkies in Asia or Africa.
Jun 19th, 2013 - 01:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Not only are most people in India indigenous, but they still have their own languages, despite the popularity of English. There are only two former Spanish colonies where Spanish is not the main language, one is the Philippines, because the US took it over after the Spanish-American War and imposed English, and Paraguay, where more people speak Guarani, despite indigenous people being outnumbered by mestizos.
Finally, and in the week or the meeting of the UN Decolonization, Timerman thanked India for its support over the Falklands / Malvinas dispute, stressing “India a very respected” because of its colonial past. ”
Jun 19th, 2013 - 03:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Excellent work Timerman. The world and the world public opinion can no longer be deceived by racism, colonialism and imperialism of the 21st century English.
Too many customers. But lets just agree that the north American native population are extremely populous and never suffered any cleansing due to Britain, same with the Australian Aborigines. Yep... no problem, a happy history.

This appears to be the official Indian report of Timerman's visit. No mention of the Falklands nor the Malvinas.

Jun 19th, 2013 - 04:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As familiar as you are with Wikidemia, you have no doubt read this.
It outlines events surrounding the creation of the nation of Israel.
Arabs rebelled violently against the British administration of Palestine in 1939.
Jewish terrorists bombed the British HQ in 1946.
Britain obliged both parties and left willingly.
The Jews and Arabs went on to fight things out amongst themselves.
@28 Troy Tempest:
Jun 19th, 2013 - 04:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0… so the UK is accused of setting of Israel for the Jews, but Israel helped Argentina during the Falklands conflict because their leader didn't like the UK.
No, as much as I think about it I can't join these two conflicting ideas.
IMO the chances are if neither side is happy with the outcome, the UK must have probably tried to do the right thing and it's the whingers that are being unreasonable.
Timerman lies again, this time about Indian support for the Malvinas Myth!!!!!!
Jun 19th, 2013 - 04:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@23 Yes. But argie racism, colonialism and imperialism is in the argie “constitution”. Do you pay any attention to the “constitution”? Seems you don't!
Jun 19th, 2013 - 04:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@24 Yes, you did mention Israel. The creation of which was determined by the UN. The Jewish people accepted the UN plan. The arab thieves didn't. On the day after Israeli independence, the armed forces of FOUR arab states attacked Israel. And got beaten. How strange that Israel didn't subscribe to arab plans and annihilate Egypt, Syria, Transjordan and Iraq. Don't make that mistake again, Israel. Annihilate your enemies!
@26 I read the article. At what point in time did India and argieland have “shared values in democracy”? Argieland doesn't even know what “democracy” is?

Jun 19th, 2013 - 04:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“IMO the chances are if neither side is happy with the outcome, the UK must have probably tried to do the right thing and it's the whingers that are being unreasonable.”
The Brits were not welcome by the Arabs in 1939, yet they still tried to do the right thing to protect the Arabs in Palestine, by restricting Jewish immigrants from arriving.
For that, they attacked by Jewish terrorists and became caught up in the middle of a 2 year war, before leaving Palestine to the two violent claimants of the “homeland”.
Now, the Arab Palestinians blame the British for handing Palestine to the Jews (and yes, I have heard that personally from Palestinians I know well - BTW, their children now live in Canada and England and are happy ).
I'm interested to see what parallel Vegemite draws between the British in Palestine and the British in the Falklands.
@32 Troy Tempest:
Jun 19th, 2013 - 05:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Given that the Argentinians love bringing Diego Garcia (from the Cold War and the 1960s) into their Falklands argument I'm surprised that they have not said something along the lines of 'after World War II, the UK pulled out of Palestine and let the Jews and Arabs get on with it, they are hypocrites for not pulling out of the Falklands and letting Argentinians and Falklanders do the same'.
I doubt very much that the Argentinians would remain peaceful (if you can call their current siege tactics peaceful) if the professional British Armed Forces were removed from the equation and it was just down the Falklander militia to fend off the Argentine expansionists.

Jun 19th, 2013 - 07:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0According to my Wikidemic research, here are the circumstances surrounding the Israeli Conflict.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947–48_Civil_War_in_Mandatory_Palestine
The British got out after it was clear that both sides wanted them out.
Despite accusations of Britain “abandoning ” the Arabs, you can be sure they would have faced other criticism of “self-interest” for staying.
The Falklands are quite different. The Islanders want them there, very decisively, according to the Referendum.
The Brits left India and are still good friends.

Nobody said anything of the sort of course but if you want to do it the Malvinista way and bring it down to simple absolutism fill your boots.
What Turdman and his cronies DONT seem to understand is that the rest of the world actually has a great laugh at his insane rantings,and false statements as to whom “supports” Ajuntina in its insane ,and obsessive behaviour.The problem as I see it is that Arjuntina actually insults all these countries it names as “Supporting ” its claim.The historical “FACTS” are indeed available to anyone who chooses to read them.For Arjuntina to actually THINK that all these countries have not researched “ALL” aspects of the Falkland Islands is indeed a gross insult,and that is why Arjuntina will get no where with their immature tantrums and lies.They are indeed their own worst enemy...!!

Jun 20th, 2013 - 06:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0The reason the English language is popular in India goes back to their Independence.
The Hindu's wanted Hindi to be the main language, but the Sikhs, muslims, Christians and other groups didn't. Tempers flared, the country began to fracture into what looked like becoming a civil war.
Then someone in the Indian Parliament stood up and proposed that English be the official language of India, especially since the courts, government at national and local levels, had been using it anyway.
Everyone agreed, the crises was averted and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, this day and age, the people of India are glad that they choose English as their official language. They now play on the international stage of business with no problems or even language barriers.
As for Argentine hopes that India hates Britain, well they don't.
If the Argentine government had bothered to do any research they would understand that if it wasn't for Britain, India wouldn't exist as a country. The British gave India a national identity, prior to that, they country was divided into small areas, each governed by their own Raj, and each almost constantly at war with each other.
Not only that, but the British introduced tea into India, which is still one of their main exports, and built railways which are still in use today. Just like we did in Argentina. The only difference is that the Indians actually take care of their tracks and rolling stock.
So, in short, India is unlikely to support anything but a peaceful resolution to the dispute, which of course Argentina always takes as read that they must therefore support their position.
It's amazing how pathetically deluded they are.

It appears to be criticising the Jews or accusing the British of discriminating against someone based on race?
