    With Loligo being a Falkland squid at least it is one thing that the fine upstanding fair playing Argentines cannot tinker with in their wonderfully honorable way.

    So what we really have here is what many suspected. Spain, like the other handful of countries who 'say' they support the false argie claim to the Falklands, in reality, when it comes to real world issues such as finance, don't support Argentina. Oh dear...

    Private vessel on behalf of the spanish gov????

    Yes, but the Spanish government is not stopping them - and they would be if their boats were illegally fishing in “Argentine” waters, no?

    7. You are wrong. Spain cannot do anything in non-spanish waters. We are the ones who have to control them, but we can't do it right now since we don't have a good army AT THE MOMENT!!! :-)

    8. Relax little christine!!!! Why are you so nervous??? Enjoy your life!!! :-)

    9. LOL. My answer destroyed his question. His question is stupid after my answer.

    Jihad Jorge still refuses to answer questions that blows his argument, such as it is, out of the water. Instead he charges that others are stupid or retarded - he hopes that this will hide his refusal to answer. It doesn't.

    Argentina is still a country with vast colonial ambitions as its attitude towards the Falkland Islands confirms. The only thing that Argentina has learnt from its genocidal colonial past is how to carry it on into the 21st Century. Argentina wants to end colonialism - fine. A good start would be for Argentina to drop its colonial claim to the Falklands. A claim that is spurious, not based upon the facts or history.

    So - see if you will answer this question Jihad Jorge...

    If Argentina is really being truthful about wanting to end colonialism let it put its money where its mouth is and stop trying to impose colonialism on the Falklands?

    Your claim is colonialism and it is also against UN enshrined rights to self determination. The UK is not acting as a colonial power in the Falklands. You really do need to do a bit more research. On second thoughts - it is perhaps best that you don't as the facts of the matter would cause your tiny brain to explode.

    Argentina is the country that is trying to impose upon a people a culture that is alien to them and is also trying to deny them self determination. It does this by threats and by trying to infringe upon their human rights. I appreciate that, given Argentina's genocidal colonial past, it is hard for her to give up her old ways but more mature countries have moved on into the 21st century. If only Argentina would join us...

    That is people you implanted there after removing argentine authorities, those are british crown subjects, they are bennies that will always feel british, that's why they have no say on this and UN calls both countries to negotiate taking into account the INTERESTS of islanders, UN doesn't talk about wishes or will.

    We will claim always and take the measures we can to presserve our rights. If it were up to me, they could end their lives of starvation if not recognize argentine juridiction.

    The Falkland Islanders were never “implanted” Jorgebobo. They went there of their own free will. Just like all the Spanish, Italian etc settlers who went to South America. I hope you realise that you just look like an uneducated idiot when you say stuff like that.

    Jihad Jorge - the hater of human rights and supporter of child killers wrote “That is people you implanted there after removing argentine authorities”

    The UK removed a set of people who were trying to usurp the islands from their rightful owners. No matter how you try to spin it - you are wrong as usual.

    Jihad Jorge - the hater of human rights and supporter of child killers wrote “they have no say on this”

    WRONG WRONG and WRONG. They have every say in this and the UN has given that say. Their wishes are paramount and it doesn't matter what Argentina says or how it tries to spin it. To be honest - it does matter what the UK says either as the UK cannot override their rights either. The difference between the UK and ARgentina is that the UK acknowledges this and upholds their human rights whereas Argentina tries to ignore their rights and acts unlawfully in doing so.

    As to being implanted - they are as much implanted as your silly great great grandparents - you know the ones. Those that colonised South America. The very same ones that are spinning in their graves at the sound of your threats and lies. They are ashamed of you Jorge.

    Jorge - you really do need to stop and think before you post. The 'UN' does NOT say what you say at all. A 'committee' *recommended* to the UN - you can see the difference can't you? And the UN hasn't formally taken up the *recommendation* - it can't anyway as to do so would violate its statements on self-determination. So - hard luck my little latin chum.
