    I welcome all the troll comments, especially that we have all the money, and they don't!
    arf!
    Legal or illegal, the UK is rich and they are poor.
    arf! arf!

    Personally I would prefer to see all such properties confiscated and the proceeds spent on more destroyers, frigates, tanks, typhoons and troops. That would be at the same time as the UK stopped all foreign aid and stopped immigrants claiming any kind of benefit. Not holding my breath as no current British politician is up to the job that urgently needs doing.

    First on the list should be the fact the UK sends £20 million, per annum, via the EU. In some form of 'Aid' budget.
    This should be stopped immediately, especially since Argentina constistantly claims it's a 1st world country that deserves a a seat at the 'top-table' in the UN.
    Write to your MP. I have done so.
    Without your voice, without the the ground swell of public opinion.

    but this is not new.
    gibraltar and the rest of these 4th class english colonies are not only a nest of squatters but also a nest of delinquents since ages.
    or, why do you think that the whole world despise them?

    as for the up market uk properties, well, it is another housing bubble.
    hopefully it will explode in the face of all those criminals.

    now, the important thing here is the role of fatty cameron and the corrupt english government.
    they are the first responsible.
    not by chance london is the ‘global capital of money-laundering’

    the whole world should break relations with these pirates, the sooner the better.

    But we are getting the money and Argentina is not. Who would try to launder money in your corrupt place. As you are a nest of thieves you would filch the lot as you are a nation of serial kleptomaniacs . The whole world despises Argenchina.
    Jealous aren't you. Tough titty !!

    @3. Whilst I understand your views, I'd be far more likely to believe this 'Transparency International' if it wasn't German in origin and management. But let's take a look at the Corruption Perception Index. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index The United Kingdom is sitting between positions 70 and 79. Argieland is somewhere between 30 and 39 so the trolls can keep their dirty mouths SHUT! Then there's the Global Corruption Barometer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index The UK at 17. Argieland at 31. Why isn't TI investigating South and Central America? Why aim at the 'easy' targets of those who might be concerned. Why not go for the criminal parts of the world? Southern America, Africa, Asia. Take a look at the map. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index
    One of the clearest indications that Britain and British-originated countries are amongst the least corrupt and criminal in the world. Even we couldn't do anything about India. And look, no difference between India and argieland.
    @4. Might it not be as well to do some research before demonstrating what an incredible prat you are? But please don't stop. You're a very useful example of how argies have IQs in the minus range. Have you ever considered improving your gene pool by euthanasia?

    “But we are getting the money and Argentina is not. ”

    but that is the argument of common delinquents.
    england and its 4th class colonies are getting money because they launder money, they smuggle, and they evade taxes.

    their main partners are the same shite as themselves, terrorists, smugglers, drug traffickers and corrupt politicians, and yes you can include kirchner in that list.

    now, it is funny that gibraltar, being just 30.000 not too bright macacos, monkeys or llanitos, you choose, have +/- 80.000 “empresas”, lol.

    fatty pigardo should be sent to the slaughterhouse.

    Ah! We may be seeing TMBOA moving some of 'her' money (ha, ha, ha) to an offshore account centred on UK land holdings!

    POLLY: +/- 80,000 again, try using '~' for approximately and stop making yourself look an utter pratt.

    @4, 7. Filthy pots and shiny kettles. Does argiescumland do anything to avoid corruption? No, it starts at the top. Kirchner thieves, takes bribes, 'skims' the national income and lies about her money's origins. Hotels that rarely have guests? A law firm with no clients and no staff? Only a brainless turd would believe such fairy tales. And what other 'politicians' are thieving? Timerman the tit? Putrid Jelly, another prat? Fernandez the foul-mouthed? Capitanich the clueless? Kicilloff the klepto?

    But we can see your approach, Pablo. No 'law' eh? Because you don't understand it. You suggest murder. A typical argie. Just remember. Because we may decide to use the same methods. The world can certainly do without 40 million argies. Especially 40 million argie war criminals, liars, thieves and degenerates. I think it's time to contact my MP and recommend that argies be excluded from the UK. They are, after all, the scum of the world, guilty of virtually every crime known to the civilised world.

    christine
    haha, ok

    rest of the utter pratts
    of course nobody expects a shite from the genetic aberration @6, but what the rest of these twats seems not to understand is that it is london, gibraltar and the rest of those shitty colonies who finance groups like islamic state.

    IS could be considered an authentic english organisation, not only because of the huge number of english militants, but also because of who finances them.

    It is because London is one of the financial capitals of the world that it has been targeted by criminals.

    How much spare money floating around Argy-land ?

    @13. Could this be another scotch traitor? Leeching money for over 300 years. There are proper countries and territories that Great Britain would welcome. Unlike the scum of scotchland. In any event, the scotch are, essentially, irish. More scum. Just drown the lot!

    “And these muppets are proud, calling everyone else corrupt...”

    Stevie, your moral indignation is admirable. If anyone knows corruption and criminality when they see it, it should be you - the same Stevie/Guzz that had intimate familiarity with the wonders of Chavism and Maduro's governance with a divine mandate to follow in kind.

    “Carry on letting the British taxpayer pay for your defence, security and foreign affairs....while you steal money...
    ...disgraceful......cut these colonial relics loose...”

    Sounds a lot like “throwing out the baby with the bath water ” - IF there IS any wrongdoing- how about reviewing the laws and investigation?

    I'm sure you vote according to your own self interest- but you're just one of millions - it seems the majority don't think the same way you do. Fortunately, your just a_voice lost in the crowd.

    You must be happen there is an election coming....another chance to “gob off” for a few months, before “shitting you pants” on polling day.

    That was hilarious.

    Not as hilarious as when “the Voice” pretended to be you, and made you look a complete tit.

    That was brilliant.

    But your all time classic, was when you said you like threatening women and pensioners “with your muscles on top of muscles” and how you had sexual fantasies about violently assaulting aged members of society.

    That was just plain weird.

    It's odd you still post here, given your utter and total humiliation. But it is sweet your carers allow you to.

    Very true - he's really unsavoury.

    I recall his contrived road rage incidents - an excuse to intimidate and abuse random strangers.

    Creepy

    Don't forget his obsession with collecting personal
    information on other posters.
