Full article 55 comments

A member of the Falkland Islands Legislative Council rebutted historical claims made by Argentina over the Islands in a speech to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association in Kenya this week, adding that the challenge Falkland Islanders face is Argentina’s “simple desire to steal what is ours.” Read full article

    This is what needs to be said in every free and democratic forum. Which clearly leaves out any South American-inspired forum such as Unasur or Mercosur. Given the attitude of the United States, I would also tend to rule out the OAS. In addition, we can forget the UN Decolonisation Committee for so long as it is constituted with South American lackeys.

    I'm glad to see this article being given prominence as it continues to demonstrate the invalidity and illegality of Argentine claims.

    THE FALKLANDS SHALL ALWAYS BE FREE!!!

    The reason no other nation gives Argentina nothing but tacit verbal support is because to do so would be an admission that the democratic process is unimportant.

    Even Spain would rather buy Falkland Island Rock Cod than waste their time with Argentina's flawed arguments.

    Looks like that is another nation who have historically supported Argentina now deciding to engage with the Falkland Islands' economic activity.

    The Spanish buy FI fish and Brazil allow the OG to call into port.

    Looks like Argentina is happy to be placated with words. I prefer actions, they are more profitable :-)

    As usuall for all the integrants of the f.i.g., is a good strategy to play the victim, and twisting the history to their convenience.
    If mr sawle is so worryed for the soposed robbery that we want to do to the malvinas resources, he omits than the main responsable of this sovereign dispute, is the u.k., not argentina, before 1833 the islands were nobody's colony, it was just one more part of our territory, i know perfectly that you wont never accept this fact, specially if you invoke that mendacious document from pepper and pascoe, when i publish my survey, i will refute many of the points of that document that you like to praise.
    Regarding the right to self determination, maybe it's truth that you have that right, but some day you will have to accept that our rights are as legitimate as yours, and this is why both parts of the conflict must dicuss to find an equal solution to the conflict, wich respects the rights of both populations, the actual scenario, is the result of the idiot intransigence of both parts of the conflict, my government ignores the islanders, and the islanders reject absolutly to talk about the sovereign dispute, so , mr sawle, be serious and dont blame only our side, your side is also hightly responsable for the actual situation, accept it or not.

    Axel, the Falklands were never “just another part of your territory” before 1833 or since and you have no rights there. Get over it.

    Anyway, I thought you “survey” was supposed to be impartial and independent. It looks like you have decided on the outcome in advance and are simply looking for “things” to back you “conclusion” up. Good luck!

    How unfortunate for axel the moronic surveyor that the evidence shows Britain claiming the Falklands in 1690.

    How unfortunate that axel the moronic surveyor doesn't leave Argentina to conduct any of his “survey”.

    How unfortunate that axel the moronic surveyor cannot see that the solution has already been established. Argentina gets - Argentina. And the Islanders gets the Falkland Islands. Job done.

    How unfortunate that axel the moronic surveyor cannot find the evidence that shows that Argentina will not recognise, much less talk to, the Islander government.

    How unfortunate that axel the moronic surveyor cannot understand that when one party tries to steal, invade and blockade another party's territory for hundreds of years, there is only one party responsible.

    How unfortunate that Estevez the estivator doesn't understand that, notwithstanding the attitude of the British government, the British people would like nothing better than to have no links with Argentina at all.

    How unfortunate that F_A does little but fart with his ass. There is no need to “sell” the Falklands Islanders' rights to Mercosur, Unasur, Oas or the UNDC. They are all Argentine lackeys and therefore irrelevant. And as for the United States? Well, the United States has already expressed “concerns” that it will no longer have British support. Even Obama is worried. But it's OK. Now that the Americans have woken up and realised what a lamebrain they elected, it won't be long before the United States is singing a different song.

    @ axel arg : “and this is why both parts of the conflict must dicuss to find an equal solution to the conflict, wich respects the rights of both populations, the actual scenario, is the result of the idiot intransigence of both parts of the conflict, my government ignores the islanders”

    Argentina has no respect for the Falkland Islanders, Argentina has stated in the past it would respect the Islanders way of life, yet it totally contradicts this by falsely naming parts of the Islands like Stanley to Peurto Argentino.
    Does this not prove in itself that Argentina would impose itself on the Islanders way of life like it tried in 82 by changing road signs, driving on the right, enforcing Argentine media/propaganda.

    Also, Argentina has made the Falklands issue part of her constitution, this can mean no other outcome other than total sovereignty for Argentina. So what is the point in talks when Argentina will only accept one out come ?

    Fernando,

    I just love the hypocritical double standards. Whinge and whine about someone pointing out something unpleasant you said but spread homophobic slurs around with Gay abandon.

    By the way Fernando, I suggest you look at what Freud had to say about homophobia and the fact that it often stems from an inability to come to terms with the persons own homosexuality. Oh what we give away without realising it.

    Axel,

    It is indeed disappointing that, but as I suggested likely, that you're continuing to make pre-judgements on everything. Sadly the origin of the situation is indeed Argentine. Argentina started and sustains the dispute. And no Argentine “rights” are not legitimate, your country has created numerous myths to sustain a dubious historical claim and a mess of your own making is not ours to solve to save Argentine face, particularly when you back yourselves into a corner with an inability to recognise the wrongs you have perpetuated in the past. Now Pepper and Pascoe is mendacious? Mmm, tell me Axel do you still allege we expelled the occupants of Puerto Luis in 1833, the documentary evidence contradicts that claim and none supports it; not even the Argentine eye witness testimony of Pinedo. Who then is being mendacious and isn't that just pre-judging the matter.

    I presume you've talked to another Argentine official, so that'll be alright.

    Also Axel, the Falkland Islanders have on many occasions proffered an olive branch only for it to be dashed away by Argentine hands. Talk about the sovereignty dispute? Again you were offered talks without preconditions, which broke up when Argentina insisted on a precondition that Britain must negotiate away sovereignty to Argentina. There is no room for talks whilst you dictate the outcome and no room for talks whilst you insist you have a monopoly of the truth and only the mendacious Argentine version is acceptable.

    So much for a neutral and unbiased research on your part.

    Why would an independent Falklands nation want to join Mercosur or Unasur? These are Argentine/Brazilian-dominated organisations. Joining would just be another route to Argentine domination and theft.
    No! The Falklands should join nothing. They have existed without support from anyone except Britain for 200 years. If they choose to become independent, they will still, if they choose, have British support. That is all they need.

    To Conqueror on 1. Yes, the islands' inhabitants shall always be free, just as all other Argentines are, should the arcipelagos be ever annexed back. Chances are not in our favour, though. Have no fear, please, and hold no grudges: 1982 was not our people's fault. We might not be the best, but neither are the worst. And in our vast territory, many originally British communities have found a fair place to raise their families within their religious creeds, and keeping their languages (English, Gaelic, Yorkshire, &c). And they had been doing so for no less generations as there had been in the Falklands/Malvinas. Cheers!

    There is little chance that the Falkland Islands will ever be “annexed back” as you put it. Argentina's idea of “freedom” does not match that of either Britain or the Falkland Islands. The Islanders have suffered too much from Argentine aggression to allow any form of Argentine control. The status quo will continue for the forseeable future. This may transform itself, at some time, into and independent Falklands with a defence treaty with Britain and British forces on the Islands.

    Get used to calling it the Falklands now.

    “ if you still didnt read not even one line of it.”

    Well, I've never read it because I've never seen it.

    “expert in international right”

    'international law' not 'international right'

    Is s/he expert enough to know that there is no succession in the case of unilateral secession, that Spain never ceded its claim to Argentina, and that there was no uti possidetis juris in international law during any part of the 19th century?

    “your side has never recognized our legitimate rights on the islands”

    Because you have never had any.

    “it keeps on rejecting to discuss about the sovereignty conflict with argentina,”

    The UK did negotiate, but Argentina was only interested in one outcome of those negotiations and when it didn't get what it wanted it invaded.

    “ on the ether hand, when we argue that we want to negotiate, it means that both parts will have to cede on their pretentions, ”

    Not according to your government it doesn't. To them negotiate means 'hand the islands over to us now'

    “i am sure that if you propose a fair solution that respects the rights of both populations, i dont that our gov. rejects it, ”

    Any solution that does not include the Islanders right of self-determination is not a fair solution. And your government is not willing to accept any solution that includes self-determination.

    “it does mean that you will have to accept only our sovereignty on the islands dont you think?.”

    We will have to do no such thing. The only sovereignty we have to accept is that determined by the Falkland Islanders themselves.

    axel:
    I don't have to read even one line of it for a couple of simple reasons.
    1 - Every time you come on here you start saying things that are nonsensical. Your statements follow the same line as those of other Argentine posters. Considering how long you have been “researching” for your survey you should, by this time, have started to find discrepancies between the “official” Argentine version and the truth. But you never come out with anything but the same old stuff. It also seems that all your “sources” are in Argentina. Like you think that for over a hundred years successive Argentine governments will have left evidence that they've lied lying around for you to find. Please!
    2 - The second reason is more prosaic. I don't read Spanish. When you comment on here I still have a considerable problem deciphering what you're trying to say despite you being limited to 2000 characters. Your chance of producing a comprehensible survey in English is close to zero.

    What point is there to your survey in the overall scheme of things? If it were to be presented to the Falkland Islanders or the British, it would be subject to rigorous scrutiny. You would need to provide incontrovertible proof of virtually every word. If it could not pass those tests, including forensic examination of any documents, the Islanders and the British would simply reject your survey as more Argentine “justification” without authenticity.

    This is the classic black or white scenario. Either Britain and the Falklanders are right or Argentina is right. Given the Islanders' experience of Argentina, I doubt there would be many wishing to remain in the event of Argentine sovereignty. And it is entirely possible that all they would leave behind would be “scorched earth”.

    Thank you Caedfel on #34. I didn't forget the Welsh. Just included them in to the '&c'. This '&c' comprises also other Saxons, say the Germans, and other Celts, say, the Scots.

    Ours being a country whose population came from almost all world corners, quite a number of languages are still spoken besides Spanish, albeit mainly within their own communities.

    In the particular case of the English spoken groups, should you attend church on a Sunday (Church of England, of which there are both High and Low here as well as other congregations), you'll have a full service in English (sometimes also one in Spanish) and you'll be able to leave your children out in Sunday School to be cared for and taught religion in English & Spanish. The priest will walk out after the service to greet you, just as if you were in Stevenage, or anywhere else in England, and if you're a first comer, he (eventually, she) will discover you immediately and will introduce him or herself, and then you to the community. Presbiterians use to share service with anglicans, that's why sometimes you'd 'pick' strange accents spoken out in the patio... On Remembrance Day service, you might find a Scots Pipes band standing at both sides of the altar, and all flags flying... including ours!

    I know that we, as a whole, are not to be shown your backs. But still we care for each other and will be always ready to help a foreigner who's lost and cannot find his way back to the hotel or whatever. People from the disputed islands come to Argentina now and then and know this. But they love their islands, they're not used to Latins nor to be addressed in any other language but theirs. Believe me, if I were one of them, I'll think likewise. Cheers.

    ZETHE. HARRIER.
    ZETHE: If i made asurvey, was not to convence the british and falkland islanders about our rights on the malvinas, you and them will always reject our arguments, no matter what i investigate, i am not waiting any objetive posture from your side.
    The true purpose of my survey, was that i wanted to be sure about our rights, after i rode the pepper pascoe document, i started to have serious doubts about our rights, this is the main reason i started to investigate, the malvinas cause has always been important for me, and it will always be, i dont give a shit about your rejction, or the islanders's, i didnt waste my time, anyway i respect your opinion.
    HARRIER: I añready finished my survey, but i need time to publish it, because i have a lot to type and translate, beside i have to study for the subjects of my carrear, i dont have so much time, i hope i can publish it on line for the end of dicember, or maybe before.

    Axel, I would like to read that. I'll be waiting for you to publish it, there are several “mistakes” in that thing called “Pascue & Pepers document”.

    “ ... beside i have to study for the subjects of my carrear...”

    So it'll be unbiased then ?

    So then you did it to either convince yourself, which you already are. Or to convince other argentines, which they already believe.

    In otherwords, you wasted your time.
