    ” .... adding he felt very pleased because PM Cameron had accepted an invitation to Chile...... “

    I wonder if Chile will do a Uruguay and withdraw the invitation at the last minute.

    Of course if the British PM retraces (re-edit?) Darwin's route .... guess where he'll end up :-)

    Unlikely, he's too busy making money from the press :-)

    “ ... Amid offers of free holidays to Greece and tickets to see Manchester United, ”Los 33“ have started speaking about their ordeal, with some openly requesting money in return for interviews with the sizable phalanx of broadcasters and journalists that remains at the San Jose mine and the nearby city of Copiapo, where many of the miners live...”

    This is so funny, Piñera looks like he's in heaven, what a puppet and what an ally! hahaha England needs money, fresh blood and Chile's the perfect victim. They will eat your entrails Chile!
    Don't you see that England is just a pedo? lol You're going straight to hell. RIP

    among the main issues addressed with PM Cameron was how to accelerate and deepen integration between Chile and the European Union,

    Thats the difference between Britain and Argentina,the Argies wouldnt miss a second wailing about the Falklands,didnt even get a mention by Cameron,not keeping Him awake at night unlike botox queen

    I never knew that Charles Darwin was a “naturist”. “Naturalist”, yes. But that he liked to run around naked in public? Bit of a shocker!!

    ” ... When asked about Chile’s position following on Argentina’s protests about British military exercises in the Falklands, Piñera was emphatic: “Friendship between England and Chile is one with deep historic roots and with projections into the future; we have excellent relations with England from the time of our independence......”

    @2 Please, review the images from the moment when Mr. Sepulveda talks with Mr. Piñera (Piñereitor, as we use to call him) and then start writing about...
    To the others...
    es, we have had a very long and good relationship with the UK from our first days as a Republic and we hope it will be deeper and stronger, because the LATAM relationship is a MYTH where the Argentine Gvt. is trying to use the other LA Gvts. as it puppets (Uruguay is a good example). All the presidents appears for the pictures with a big smile and together in a big hugh, but with their back armored waiting for the stab from their coleegues......
    Please, Piñereitor continues that way... look for friends wherever they are ...Colombia, Mexico, EU, Asia, etc...and take care of the nearest countries Gvts. that aren´t real friends.

    #13 I saw(tv) Mario jumping in the ocean naked yesterday and having a great time with his son later. In a few word he says do not worry about money and enjoy every second of your life. Mr Piñera and some others chilean business persons only care about their own pockets and they don't care to send miners to dead traps like mina San Jose.

    DDon´t expect that Chile and Brazil stop supporting Argentina: fantasy has painly wake-ups.
    Support from many Commonwealth countries should not be forgotten, haha, let´s see the bottle half-filled. “Et tu, Brutus?”-feeling hurts, doesn´t it Hoyt?

    but we cant tell some of the commonwealth countrys what to say,
    but you are right, loyaly should be expected, so some of them especialy a few in the west indies, should be cast of without further notice,
    they cannot be trusted, just like argentina,

    It's heartwarming to see how much respect you Argentinians have for one of your closest allies, ROFL!

    Unity in South America? never happen when you've got a country like Argentina there.
