Goes to show that Mercopress often vacuums up “news” from other sources. MP: Please do some proper reporting; get out there and get some original stuff. There's plenty of it!

Jul 30th, 2010 - 10:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well............ this is the kind of “no meat” stories we Argentineans get bombarded with in here every day.
Nice to see that same “Anglos” are discerning enough to see thru them (at least when they concern them:-)
yes but to late, to late, we need Argentina to act now, then we can reverse these idiot decision, save our navy, save our soles, [thinks ok] he is worried he is scared, they all are, they know the grim reapers coming, that’s why they are all not shouting from the roof tops, they know something’s in the wind [and its not shit]

yes we remember john knot 1981, [[what did he announce, what did he do,, the brits were in trouble, the navy was being sold of, we needed help.
and Argentina saved us, they attack the Falklands, what about today, [July 30th 2010] British can no longer defend themselves, the navy is being cut, carriers sold of, [does anyone notice anything similar ???
the british are crying wolf, but will argentina respond,
“might have had something to hide” The desparation of some “cheap shot” politicians amazes me sometimes!!

Mr.Hughes obviously has no idea how stock markets work and should keep his gob shut.
Sour grapes methinks. LOL!!
briton is undoubtedly drunk. “save our soles”? Soles are the underside of shoes, or sole is a fish. “JOHN KNOT”, that'd be John Knott, an idiot if ever there was one. “carriers sold of”, how can you sell something that won't be ready until 2016? Sooner or later he'll sober up. Pay no attention.
