    But“Think” can flawlessly see through Mr. Justin Kuntz small “convenient” lies.

    He has seen them many times before…

    Like when he edited out material he didn’t like from the Spanish Wikipedia Malvinas War article. (That’s why he was kicked out) …….

    Or when he conveniently “switched” the nationality of Dr. Bingham’s ex-wife from Chilean to Argentinean to make “more palatable” the bad treatment her family received from the Islanders.

    And even to the latest convention on climate change (COP16) wher, yet again, the British had to put the Argentine delegation in its place - ” The UK delegation does not believe that this is the appropriate forum to raise sovereignty issues of any kind. In reference to the content of the statement made by the delegation of Argentina, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has no doubt about its sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and their surrounding maritime areas. The United Kingdom firmly rejects the claim by the Government of Argentina to sovereignty over those islands and maritime areas. The principle of self-determination, enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, underlies our position on the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands. There can be no negotiation on the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands unless and until such time as the Falkland Islanders so wish. The Islanders regularly make it clear that they wish the Falkland Islands to remain under British sovereignty. The United Kingdom applied the Framework Convention on Climate Change1 and the Kyoto Protocol2 to the Falkland Islands on 7 March 2007........ '

    NIbbling at the edges, getting nowhere :-)

    As such the United Kingdom has included emissions from the Falkland Islands within its Greenhouse Gas Inventories in fulfilment of its obligations under the Convention and the Protocol.”

    Ah the usual from Think, can't defeat with argument, resort to smears.

    You're a liar, a fraud and a waste of time. I have never at any point made such a claim. I challenge you to prove it.

    I was not banned from the Spanish wikipedia, I choose not to edit there. The article is in the grip of people who report unproven allegations as facts. Allegations that have in fact been investigated thoroughly and found to be groundless.

    This is the standard of thought in Argentina it seems, lie, defame and smear. Utterly morally bankrupt.

    At post (19) Mr. Kuntz writes about Dr. Bingham:
    ……..”He left for Argentina with his Argentine girl friend who was 5 months pregnant, to take up a job with the Argentine Government who made him a better offer.”

    At post (23) i reply:
    …….”Back to Dr. Bingham……

    They did not wish to leave the Islands……
    There was no “better offer” waiting in Argentina….

    I am glad I am only a part-time MercoPress poster, it must be a full-time job to argue with Thunk, with all the crap he comes out with. The more and more crap I read that is posted under Thunk's name, the more I believe that this is not about the Falklands, but some deep seated hatred of anything British, and jealously that Britain is a world power and Argentina are a complete laughing stock in the world community. I am sure Think will counter my arguement about some bullshit, but I couldnt careless what he thinks (with the exception of his expertise of nails and coffins, I am starting to think Thunk is a necrophiliac, as his knowledge on coffin nails is unusually high...), I know that I am right and his is wrong, no matter what he seems to drag up to provide as a distraction to his failings to answer questions regarding the Argentine 'Myth of the Malvinas', 1833, population implantation, human rights etc...

    Qui suivent, indolents compagnons de voyage,
    Le navire glissant sur les gouffres amers.

    À peine les ont-ils déposés sur les planches,
    Que ces rois de l'azur, maladroits et honteux,
    Laissent piteusement leurs grandes ailes blanches
    Comme des avirons traîner à côté d'eux.

    Ce voyageur ailé, comme il est gauche et veule!
    Lui, naguère si beau, qu'il est comique et laid!
    L'un agace son bec avec un brûle-gueule,
    L'autre mime, en boitant, l'infirme qui volait!

    Le Poète est semblable au prince des nuées
    Qui hante la tempête et se rit de l'archer;
    Exilé sur le sol au milieu des huées,

    The Mata Hari crap is entirely your own invention Think. But then avoiding the question to spout crap is your usual response to avoid drawing attention to making a dick of yourself again.

    Let us remind ourselves what Think claimed. He claims I changed the nationality of Bingham's ex-wife. Of course I didn't, I was in fact referring to his girlfriend who was pregnant at the time who was Argentine. Check for yourself if you can be bothered but you'll find he doesn't have any kids with his ex who left him for a Falklander.

    And the comment that he got a better offer from Argentina was from Bingham himself.

    I take it from all the bluff and bluster after his usual tactic of smears and innuendo he checked the facts online and ooops found he was talking out of his arse. He lies so often he wouldn't recognise the truth if it bit him on the arse.

    Whining to the IMO about a short range missile test, communicated in advance and routinely carried out for over 28 years without any problems whatsoever, just shows that Argentines apparently enjoy making dicks of themselves.

    At least those in Government. The same corrupt bunch of thieves El Thunko defends at the drop of a hat.

    Thou shall not steal is not an acceptable answer.

    But i'm not surprised, Argies have an inherent need to beleive his every word.

    One wonders if he was gobbing his mouth off about the same thing in Argentina, would he be held in the highest regard as he is by yourself.

    Probably not.

    Surely these are desperate times when Malvinists use Bingham as a source? For no other reason than to have a dig at the islanders.

    Good point.

    But I'm yet to find the paragraph and section which relates to my above question.

    There's a very very obscure amendment added in 1994 which makes a reference to claiming some islands and their corresponding maritime space.

    But nothing to suggest a violation of international law in the vein you and morecrap have been arguing.

    And anyway, the forceful application of that amendment seems to have issues, in that ..... eerm, they have yet to be put into practice? I think section 6 of your own constitution demands this doesn't it?

    oh yes and who could forget the democratic defecit? The territory in question didn't exactly get the option to vote on the proposals did they?

    I beleive there is actually a law against that:

    Article 1 in both the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)[12] and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).

    Both read: “All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.”

    Having a vote on incorporating the islands in your constitution without the free consent of their peoples sounds a bit like your depriving them of the above rights?

    Funny how I can come up with potential breaches of actual ratified law, and the best tweedle dum (think) and tweedle dee (Morecrap) is a generalised reference to the word law and breach.

    75 Justino, I was not able to open your link but so what, he married more than once, he was married to Elena (Chilean) that is a fact.

    “On the international arena the Falkland Islands Government were exposed and humiliated. Despite attempts by the British and Falklands governments to prevent the British press running the story, the story did hit the headlines, from London to Buenos Aires. The Falklands was exposed as an outpost of political greed and corruption, where politicians lined their pockets with money from commercial fishing, whilst penguins starved. Gone was the pedestal of moral superiority from which the Falklands had looked down on their South American neighbours for so many years. It had now been officially declared by the Supreme Court that the Falkland Islands Government were corrupt, committing human rights violations in an attempt to cover up the damage which commercial fishing was causing to penguin populations.”
    Faced with eventual imprisonment at the hands of corrupt government officials in the Falklands, or working with the support of three governments in South America, the choice was easy.“

    ”Working in Chile and Argentina was such a joy. Both countries held a genuine concern for the protection of wildlife, not a desire to set up a phoney front to give the impression of doing something, as was happening in the Falklands“
    ”Whilst the Falklands Regime tried to frame, deport and even threaten to kill anybody who conducted independent research into their handling of the environment, the governments of Chile and Argentina openly welcomed independent scrutiny. Their conservation efforts were genuine. They had nothing to hide, and hoped to benefit from outside scrutiny that could improve the work they were doing.“

    And Margot, were his claims correct, then the Penguin population would be now extinct but rather embarassingly they're thriving.

    PS Yes the Chagossians enjoy self-determination, if you support that position and I do (hence my photo call at that demonstration you posted so mant outrageous racist comments about), then you would also support the Falkland Islanders against both the British and Argentine Governments and I do. I view the FCO with as much suspicion as I do the prats in the Casa Rosado.

One would not wish them to suffer a similar fate to that of the Chagossians; and the fact that Britain upholds the 'principle of democratic self-determination' for the inhabitants of its small remaining colonies only when that accords with the UK's economic and strategic interests does not by itself prove that the claim of the people living on the Falklands / Malvinas islands should be given no moral or political credence”

    Yeah, what the British Government did to the Chagossians was wrong, illegal and immoral. I have admitted that, time and time again. I do in fact belong to the organisation campaigning for their rights to be restored.

    There was no one forced out in the Falkland in 1833, the people living there continued to live there. What Argentina claims is a lie.

    There is a theme emerging here, Think lies, Margot lies and what the Argentine Government claims is a LIE.

    The UK has no economic or strategic interests in the Falklands and right up to 1982, it was withdrawing and drawing down on its commitments. The current British presence is there solely because of the continuing threat from the regional bully whose invasion fleet would be on the way the moment the British indicated any intention to leave.

    But Margots utter moral cowardice and hypocrisy is shown when he would happily repeat what the Chagos islanders experienced, claiming the rights of Falklanders have no “moral or political credence”.

    “In the process which followed, which was that of the forced expulsion of the population of the Chagos from the islands, the islanders were offered no recourse to self-determination. Dispossesed of their homes and their means of livelihood, the democratic choice offered to the Chagossians was to become slum-dwellers on the Mauritius mainland. For the inconvenience of having to accommodate these refugees, the government of Maurituis was compensated with the princely sum of three million pounds.

    ”Almost three decades later, new advances in petroleum prospecting and extraction technology have made drilling for oil in the area potentially profitable; the UK's justification for authorising drilling, however, is fundamentally similar to that which was used to win support for the war in 1982: the population of the Falklands (now risen to 3,140 civilian residents, plus 500 British soldiers) regard themselves as British, so the hydrocarbon resouces under the sea bed which surrounds the colony must therefore belong to Britain”
