    How many BS parliaments have they got! I've not heard of half of those before. What do they all do? Can someone living in the region tell me if any of them have any actual power? Chris R, perhaps? Or Klingon?

    They're deluding and fooling nobody but themselves.
    Filmus with his kangaroo committee can spout all the ethno- geopolitical claptrap he wants.It's nothing more than thinly veiled imperialism; the words moon and barking and at spring to mind.
    “Colonialism is not forever ” screeches its ambassador ..Good you'll be leaving soon then .The only question is; Will your countries of origin be prepared to take you all back ? And I'll tell you the only fact..Your country owes the Kelpers ..Big time .If you want to be taken seriously as a nation ,let that be your starting point.
    But sadly none of us will be holding our breath.

    Morning Joe!! Hope all things are well with you. To answer your question ( partially ):-

    It does not matter whether these people or these parliaments have any power at all, because resolution 2065 was non-binding in the first place. It was passed by the UN general assembly NOT by the security council.

    So if we don't abide by it, they HAVE to lump it.

    Also, because the argentines chose to use force in 1982. It means that resolution 2065 is now dead. So dead in fact, they had to bury it, twice.

    ChrisR explained that one to me in another post.

    So they can all have their meetings and Daniel Filmus can be “greatly moved by the support received from all countries in the region” all he wants.

    It's not going to change anything and we here in the UK pay it absolutely NO attention whatsoever.

    Filmus's lying isn't going to change the truth. Otherwise, he'd have been at the ICJ by now. C24 with its openly biased head, who should have resigned due to his partiality, isn't binding in any way and has lost its mandate as its more interested in colonisation, is not the legal place for sovereignty dispute resolution. Biased talking shop.
    Viveza criolla isn't going to cut it nor Filmus's delusions. Nor all the bile & hatred from CFK and Timmnerman also. Are they stupid enough to think that's been forgotton, along with their invasion in 1982? Never trust Argentina, duplicitous country.
    Self-determination in the referendum 2013 sorted out BOT status in the 21st century!

    Hello old friend. No worries about all of their window dressing. It just bemuses me somewhat. I often wonder why they don't ever get serious with their claim and then I remember that it's all only for internal consumption; especially in the lead up to the elections.

    Does SW19 interest you? I can't wait to watch Sunday's match. RF is incredible.

    Have a good weekend whatever you're doing and thanks for your message.

    Who gives a rats.... what Filmus thinks. The only opinions that count are those of the good people who live on the Falkland Islands. The rgs had a chance to behave like a normal country, or a good neighbour but they have fouled the nest. Literally.No one to blame but themselves. Never ever trust them, or lend them money.
    I'd say that the both F.I. & argentina have benefited from the flight of Alejandro Betts to argentina. Sounds like a real bastard. Completely unscrupulous.

    The 50th Anniversary of Resolution 2065? I don't suppose Danny mentioned that it was killed by his country's invasion in '82, did he? Just perpetuating the lie. A sideshow.
    And as for supporting Alex Betts? Just shows the measure of the man, doesn't it?

    I wonder if Filmus has ever listed the grounds for argieland's “claim”? 1493 and a ridiculous papal bull dividing the New World between Portugal and Spain? Never recognised by the rest of the world. 1494 and the ludicrous Treaty of Tordesillas? Also never recognised by the rest of the world. 1820 and the arrival of the pirate David Jewett? 1828 and the arrival of another pirate and fraudster called Vernet. Notably, spain did not recognise argieland until 1863. How, exactly, would argieland have “inherited” territory from a nation that didn't recognise it? Not to mention that “inheritance” is not a valid, or legal, method of obtaining territory. Sovereignty is most often obtained by legitimate occupation. When did either spain or argieland legitimately occupy the Falkland Islands? As the Falklands Crisis of 1770/71 proved, spain never has. Neither has argieland. But it did make territory a cause for a war. A war in which it got crushed. And so we come to 1982, uti possidetis and confirmation of the legitimate sovereignty of the United Kingdom. Betts, of course, is a liar and a criminal. If he “always” supported argieland, why was it that he complained that the British government wasn't being tough enough before the war? Then, of course, he's most probably a bigamist. And a traitor. I've said before that he should check English law. A traitor every time he pushes the argie case at the UN. Wonder if there's an operational plan to eliminate him between the UN building and the airport? Or perhaps, overcome with remorse for his many crimes, he'll commit suicide in Cordoba.

    The facts of the matter speak for themselves, they don't need 'Film Me Now Before I Break Into Tears' to muddy the water for the delusional argies, poor sods.

    ANY chance of a 'peaceful' agreement to enable The Dark Country to colonise the Falklands ended with the invasion of 1982 and all that means to the so called UN Resolutions, which were never UNSC Resolutions anyway.

    With the likes of 'Putrid Jelly', the ubiquitous Italian midget 'Defence Minister' claiming that if the garrison was not in place on the Islands these cretins would be in charge by now tells you all you need to now about the argie definition of 'peaceful'.

    Until the pistol ban in the UK I had a Colt Peacemaker 0.45LC revolver. Beautifully made and very accurate in the right hands. It was called a peacemaker because that is what it did: the miscreants either calmed down or were killed by it. THAT is the way the Islanders should look at the present Peronista infested country 400 miles off their coast.

    ANY unauthorised aircraft not showing their transponder and / or not returning radio traffic should be taken down as a matter of course as soon as they reached FIG airspace and this policy needs to be made known to TMBOA personally.

    She can scream all she likes about it, tough.

    @22. When are you going “home”? To share in the incredible prosperity and well-being of argieland. Sorry, did I forget that you're sponging off Canadians? How many thousands of miles do you spend your worthless time away from where you should be? I know you'll have excuses but, really, you're a coward, aren't you? The Islanders' situation is NOT precarious. Here are some clues. 1,200 combat troops ON the Islands, including Gurkhas. Bit different to the 80 Royal Marines you had to try to sneak up on in '82. An armed patrol vessel and a regular fully equipped warship. Nothing like that last time. Where are the British submarines? The ones that will launch cruise missiles to destroy Buenos Aires. Four combat aircraft. They'll do for 40 argie balloons. Then there's the reinforcements. Just imagine 14 RAF Voyagers arriving. 300 troops each. PLUS 4 refuelled Typhoons. No stop-offs. More than 4,000 troops AND 50 PLUS Typhoons. Enough so that you can watch your “home” being destroyed. Which is what we will do if you don't back off and never try again. Have you asked yourself how many British people would object to argieland being destroyed? Here are some clues. In 1982, you killed some British service personnel. Have you ever apologised? Have you ever paid? Ever tried figuring out what ONE British serviceman is worth in terms of argie corpses?
    @31. Filmus has really “made it”, hasn't he? “English language teacher of Polish descent”. Good with her mouth then. “a Jewish immigrant from Moldova who arrived in Argentina in 1928 and became a shopkeeper.” Totally incompetent in Moldova. Living off his slag's oral earnings. And now there's the current Filmus. Bet he's learned to use his mouth and his arse! Does Kirchner use her strapon on him? Or is that just for Kicillof, Maximo and Timerman?
