    @1:

    You are not going to turn a lie into a true statement just by repeating it one thousand times. Every liberty-loving soul who has studied the history of the Falkland Islands knows that Argentina's arguments are weaker than its pathetic army. Why can't you wake up?

    Wow, imagine the pain of being an Argentinian and having to wake up day after day and knowing that the British flag flies over the Falklands. No matter how many times you want it to be otherwise, there it is fluttering in the breeze. You come on here and waste your time complaining yet nothing changes. Day after day after day. And still British. Must make you crazy with despair.......

    #1 Marcos, the know that the only way the Falklands will ever be transferred to Argentina is (a) at the demand of the inhabitants, (b) in response to a ruling by the ICJ or (c) by force.

    (a) Argentina's past and continued belligerence towards the islanders make this very unlikely.
    (b) Argentina has not taken their demands to ICJ. They know full well they would not succeed.
    (c) In comparison to the UK Argentina has no armed forces except the possibility of a human wave attack.

    One can only conclude that the Argentine government doesn't actually want the Falklands but simply wants attention (or to distract attention from real problems). Do you disagree with this assessment?

    On the other hand, I suppose an alternative is that Argentina think they are waging a clever PR war before taking it to the ICJ, however that is extremely unlikely.

    @ 1 Marcos Alejandro
    Could you please explain why the referendum held by the Islanders' earlier this year is “meaningless”?
    I should point out that RGland has voted 'for' several UNGA resolutions which confirm that the 'populations' of the NSGTs' have the right to self-determination. The last one being at the end of last year, 67/134. There are no exceptions, conditions, limitations etc. quoted or referenced which would limit that right in any way.
    Resolutions similar to 67/134 have been issued annually for several years and RGland has voted 'for' all of them, which is rather surprising particularly for the one from 2008 as that was the year RGland and Spain tried to sneak a modification into a resolution that had nothing to do with the Falklands that would have stripped the Islanders' of that right. I would have thought, particularly that year, that they would have at least abstained.

    @1 Why do you quote a lefty traitorous rag? No-one in Britain takes the Guardian seriously. It's also criminal. It's a comic. It doesn't have a single reputable journalist.

    I'd like to think that I contributed by suggesting, in the Overseas Territories consultation, that FIG publicly rebutted every argie statement with the truth. But isn't it time that FIG was even more active. Provide the evidence that argies, particularly the argie “government”, not only lies but does so deliberately and knowingly. It's not that difficult. Just on this site, we have shut up virtually every “malvinista” troll. At every turn, their statements are shown to be lies, misrepresentations, irrelevant “excerpts”. It must be time for the Falkland Islands to go to the C-24 and state that it is now going to expose every single lie argie “governments” have told the UN. And then that it will not be attending the C-24 hearings in future. It should state that it does not recognise any UN authority over the Islands. That the only “superior” authority it recognises is the United Kingdom. And it will not even recognise any UK directive that originates at the UN. It should state that it repudiates argieland and its illegitimate claims and will do so IN PERPETUITY. It should also state that it denies the right of any latam or south american state to say or do anything in respect of the Islands.

    I think it rather funny that the point of the story, is also basically what goes on in these threads, but it is true, and no doubt that all the attention on the Falklands has only heightened the right for the people to seek self determination.

    It's the same with Gibraltar too now, now the whole world knows that these two and the other 12 are British Overseas Territories, are well, BRITISH!

    I do like a good laugh though, so it's great to see the same old bullsh**t coming out of Marcos Alejandro, in true Argentine fashion, he reiterates the same bollocks over and over again, yet to no avail.

    I found a story that I thought might interest our Spanish speaking commenter's, now I know a lot of you are not good readers, but the good folks at the British Broadcasting Corporation have put this into video for you.

    Is it to late to get nominations in for next years honours list? I was wandering whether Dick would consider recommending Christina for Dame of The British Empire for services to the Islands.

    Seriously though, when you consider that the Islands legislature is no bigger than your average parish council and consistently out perform the government of a nation of some forty million, it's bloody marvellous.

    He even apologises for not being there to deal with his constituent duties.

    Dick, if you ever decide to come home and run for parliament, pick North West Norfolk for your constituency, because you would get my vote every time.

    “We have been criticized by some (in the Islands) for spending too much time abroad and ignoring domestic issues. I would agree it is a fine balance but the rewards have been truly tremendous,” said MLA Sawle.“

    Then perhaps it is time for the FIG to appoint roving international ambassadors on a permanent basis IN ADDITION to the standard elected legislature.
    Dick Sawle is absolutely right-if the Islanders do not defend themselves internationally and take the fight abroad-there is more chance that the Islanders will not have ANY domestic policy if the Dark Country takes them over.

    The more the Islanders combat the heinous lies spouted by Argentina the more the tide will turn. And we all know that the Argentine government are coward's-the thought of meeting the Bens scares them sh1tless.
    @1

    “This meaningless Falklands referendum will resolve nothing”

    Well, not for Argentina though it helps the FIs-thanks for that, Mr Mullet.

    ”kind regards to the Argentine reich, The Falklanders couldn't have done it with such effect without your interference. Suckers.....”
    Agreed.

    @16
    This indicates to me Chris that the FIs need more councillors- permanent (ie as in 4 years terms) domestic councillors and international troubleshooters-to shadow the liars from the Dark Country wherever they visit and challenge their arguments.

    @29 Reality Check
    My apologies if I gave the impression I was an islander-I am an Englishman who lived for a few years in the Islands, though I immersed myself quite deeply in their society.
    In my post I should have given more emphasis to the islanders engaging the Argentines on the world stage-I mean that they should intensify their good work.
    It is a tough challenge for just 8 people.

    I am of the belief that if this vital work is affecting their local constituents, the Islanders need a separate 'overseas division.'

    For eight people they have certainly had proportionally more effect that the many (1000s?)politicians available to the Argentines.

    I was upset that last year I had to e-mail the BBC over their erroneous 1833 information to get it withdrawn. An MLA should have seen to that years before it got up my nose , but the impression I got was that even the Islanders were 'embarrassed' about 1833. As we have seen from the excellent research by the posters here, it seems the embarrassment is caused by the Argentine interpretation, not by careful examination of 1833 itself, where huge cracks in the Argentine interpretation have been exposed.

    The Islanders should keep this strategy up-I believe it needs to be more aggressively intensified (but I don't mean that the Islanders well considered and calm rhetoric should be ditched, just that they need to be where the Argentine politicians go as much as possible, like a 'task force' well immersed in their history as the posters here are).

    With all respect, I think you're wrong about TIT being from Canada.

    The more tedious regular Trolls are very good at hiding, easy to tell where they haven't been, but hard to tell where they are from.

    TIT just sounds 'wrong' for Canada. He has no awareness of the slang, let alone how to use it!
    He only ever made one reference to Canada when he opportunistically used the Quebec train tragedy causing multiple deaths, to deflect from CFK's criminal negligence.

    Now, “Pirat-Hunter” (ALEX VARGAS), there was a Troll living in Canada - a “wannabe” (thx Think/a_toad) Argentinian La Kampitupora who would butcher Canadian English and mis-quote Cdn statistics and local news sources, at will.

    “El Kapitano” and “Heisen-something”, Cdn and Aussie respectively, appeared exactly at the same moment, but gained no traction. If I were more cynical, I would say they were 'put' there by A_ThinkVoiceOver to distract/deflect Anglotino and myself . “VoiceOver” seemed to be quite fixated on Anglotino for awhile, and I think he was jealous of our 'chats'.

    @60;
    Yeah that El Capitano is 419 in my book.

    Alledgedly a dane living in Canada, joined his first UK trawler in 1959 (out of Grimsby or Lowestoft or somewhere)

    1959. That alone put him in his seventies, - When you read his patter, it does not fit.

    @40 People have to get into the gutter in order to shout down to where you are. Today, I can't bothered to list all the disgusting attributes of your country and the majority of your “people”. Although the word “people” shouldn't really be used in relation to argies. What would a good word be? A “grunge” of argies? A “mucus” of argies? A “slime” of argies? A “fart” of argies?
    @44 First you have to learn how to read. We can tell from your “comments” that you get the contents of this site read to you in your own version of gibberish.
    @48 Right at the top of these comments is a Note from the site. It says “Comments must be in English.” When will you be complying? Your “comment” is shite. I know you'll recognise that word because you talk so much of it. I think that, like Marcos, you need to be ignored from now on. Neither of you ever say anything intelligent, relevant, intelligible, interesting or worth reading. I shall have to write to the argie Ministry of Propaganda, complain and recommend that they stop paying you.
    @38, 39 Have to agree with you both on this. Unfortunately, British newspaper websites get inundated with prats saying “Don't get involved.” “Not our business.” What I don't understand is why there are so many prats. Which country has consistently blocked Western attempts to stop this? Russia. Which country supplies most of Syria's weapons? Russia. Which country will re-stock Syria with arms? Russia. Which country has a long history of pogroms, purges, massacres? Russia. Who doesn't care how many they kill? Russia.

    I wonder why the trolls are so happy to quote The Guardian. Are they not aware that The Guardian is not a newspaper that carries much weight in the United Kingdom and furthermore I understand it may be in a dire financial state and some doubt its ability to continue to publish for much longer.
