Jan 07th, 2011 - 10:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0I would be interested to hear from the islanders as to what they see this news as actually meaning to them. There is only this news article that I can find and it's difficult to assess the effect. If the business is a loss maker and requires subsidy are there no other alternatives? The fish indiustry appears to be the one to suffer although the article suggests that the cancelation restricts growth rather than reduces current trade. Who are the customers and would deep sea facilities allow direct access to them without recourse to the South Cone?
Think, like so many others, fails to really understand the British mentality and believes that this sort of action will cause the British to retreat when it is the opposite that is true. He will learn I'm sure.

I still remember when I first mentioned Dr. Binghan in here……….
Minutes after I got responses from quite a few Islanders eager to inform me about what a big fat liar and cheat he was………………
When I mention the 1 Million £ impounded cocaine misteriously missing from Stanley’s arrest house, I was quickly informed that it was the prisoners themselves that “disposed” of it.
Their cells were not locked and the coke was kept unlocked somewhere, was the explanation…………………….
But on the “Allan Addis murder case” the Silence is quite overwhelming…..
As it has been for 30 years……….
Is that felon family so important?

Jan 07th, 2011 - 11:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is an interesting one. The SAAS service is a fairly recent development. It was set up and financed by the fishing industry, and it's been a loss-maker from day one. There is no doubt that the islands as a whole derives benefit from a link with South America. However, there is a question over whether this means that FIG should subsidise it.
There is more going on here than meets the eye. There is a body of opinion that thinks that both FIG and the FCO should be more active in its dealings with South America and this issue is being used to apply a bit of pressure.
A long time ago the coastal vessel used to go to Punta every 6 weeks which was great. The boat changed and the operators changed and now it doesn't, nothing to do with Argentina, but a real shame as it used to call at the West on the way back. What I mean is that this is a very fluid situation that has changed a lot over the years regardless of Argentine nonsense, and it will change again.
“There is more going on here than meets the eye.”

Still nothing Argentina can do :-)
13- yes it will change agin for sure. Correctio- the direct link to Punta stopped BECAUSE of ARGENTINE Threats - albeit of no international validity. Problem was no vessel owner had the balls to challenge it. To be arrested you have to agree to stop and be boarded first - solution is therefore you do not stop.
Jan 07th, 2011 - 11:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0As regards the SAAS operation - time to cut the political correct clapspeach and talk the reality- Commercial BLACMAIL by a 3rd State of an international shipping Company.
Argentina did the same to MAERSK several years ago - they were about to start a direct container vessel link to Stanley - Arg simply told Maersk -“go there and you kiss goodbye to all your Argentine port and cargo business”.
Now Hamburg-Sud - despite having actually already been operating with the Islands with SAAS for 5 years - have been given the similar ultimatum - “handle FI export containers and you will loose all your Argentine business”.
Arg knows they cannot win fairly and democratically so simple answer - dirt and blackmail - all they understand really.

Allegations are easy but evidence is harder ... I'm sure I've said that somewhere before here :-)
“Case closed
Jan 07th, 2011 - 03:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No further comments.”
On Marine Addis? that case is not closed, whatever you may think about Falklands conspiracies think the reason this case is still ongoing is simply that his body has never been found, there is a suspicion of foul play, a drunken punch up that went badly wrong is the favourite theory. Another possibility is that he fell overboard when the MV Forrest sailed from North Arm, as it happens the officer responsible for keeping tabs on his men was allegedly also in an advanced state of inebriation.
Until his body is found no one will know for sure.

Jan 07th, 2011 - 03:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Have I missed something? What has this to do with Marine Addis? Does it make any sense anyway?
No-one knows what happened to Marine Addis. I would like to remind the conspiracy theorists that the police officer that is convinced that there was foul play is Len McGill, definitely a local. He was responsible for bringing down the 'corpse dog' in 1998. I was working at North Arm at the time, and a TV programme was make about it, so don't say it hasn't been investigated.
I was inclined to agree with this until a guy fell off a boat in Mare Harbour and was never seen again. The lack of a body isn't in itself suspicious.
Billy, you need to either produce some facts or pipe down. Making up allegations like yours smacks of deperation and says more about you than it does about us you saddo.

After all the troubles MercoPress took in NOT mentioning their name in the above article. :-(

MÆRSK involvement in the controversial British South Atlantic Oil Prospection was mentioned quite a few times.
To finish, what you described as: “Commercial BLACKMAIL by a 3rd State of an international shipping Company” are just normal commercial procedures regulated by Argentinean law.
Chill Out Dude………As you Folks always say....... It's just lip service :-)
Not really sure about capacity matching, but Foreland Shipping might have some ships spare for charter at some point in the near future, they'd be ro-ro sealifters with a capacity of about 14k dwt each.

The Argentinian invasion a few months later in early 1982 hampered things further, when Alan's case files were destroyed. It is unclear whether the islanders did this, to prevent Marine files falling into enemy hands, or the Argentinians, in a furious bout of wanton destruction as the British forces approached Port Stanley

Think 28 - no secret- never has been - to those who can read - big letters on the sides of containers stacked on decks - no doubt photographed many times over the years by your naval folks! Linkage openly available worldwide to anyone needing to ship.
Jan 07th, 2011 - 10:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Wrong over Maersk - they were blackmailed before they got involved - just told - if you go there and you loose here. Years before oil started up.

Business is business and from what I gather the route was not profitable in any case and required support from the FIG. Not good business. What needs to be done now is a realistic assessment of the damage, if any (because it wasn't profitable) and what alternatives are available. Who were the customers for the fish and would a deep sea port assist in getting the goods to them direct?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruinard_Island
”A COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER (CPO) is a legal function in the United Kingdom that allows certain bodies which need to obtain land or property to do so without the consent of the owner. It may be used, for example, when building motorways where a land owner does not want to sell. Compensation rights usually include the value of the property, costs of acquiring and moving to a new property, and sometimes additional payments.”

Marcos - what crap you write at times - we have not lost the shipping link - it does not close for another 6 months yet idiot. And I will be very surprised if by then we do not have another. Even the SAAS link is only one of TWO shipping services that we have at the moment anyway. get you facts better next time. Old carriers now out of servioce due to age like the Invincible - she is OLD - her aircraft shot loads of your side down 28years ago - she is now OLD. Nice to see though that Arg finally admits they did not sink her several times 28years ago as claimed then!
More importantly UK does not need a carrier just now to defend the Islands - there is a great big well defended concrete one here.

It is amazing how stupid you people are, don't you know your own history? Did something fundamentally change in the way you do business? You will be poorer in 5 years than you are now, just give it time. There is a reason U$ 52 billion has fled the country in the last few years.

Well where do we start but with the United stated ten years ago the unindisputed single superpower on the planet a wasp dominated country.a decade later this self same United States is almost completely dependent on the Peoples Republic of China to keep it afloat which our Communist friends right now are happy to do as long as the Wasps(sorry now getting quite Latino)continue to buy their products.China the great new World force cant quite get enough of South american agriculture to feed its 1,3 billion ever richer consumers along with its giant rival India who is equally cognicent of its need fior South american food.As Brasils aspirations get ever higher it sees the need to support its neighbours who it needs to support it as the regional leader.Argentina who had its own ambitions in this regard now has a practical government and sees its opportunity to deepen Mercosur and trade begins to grow at incredible levels.Uruguay and Paraguay buy into this and now these countries grow more interdependent than ever in their history.It wont be long till Chile buys into this regional frienship which will your Falkland/Malvinas its next headache

Try to answer some of these questions and don't make such broad and simplistic predictions without backing them up.
In my view Argentina/Bolivia/Venezuela will all be poorer in the next 5 years than they are now. Prove me wrong...
First about proveing you wrong.I contend that europes welfare state is going to collapse completely in the next ten years leaveing a massive crisis in the old continent.The reality is Europe cant compete anymore handing money to its less productive people.

Without WASP technology, innovation, work ethic the world would be Argentina. Where do you think these WASPs live and work?
Amigo you made the statements I answered them one by one.But it seems you are unable to respond in English or Español except with gibberish.The daily riots reported by the VOA from China if they exist might have some resonance in a so called democracy but I assure you Chinas Communist party is much better than Obama at controlling events.

As for the notion of three year dry spells sorry to tell you we will have rain in Buenos Aires,Santa Fe, and Cordoba this week.
Without wasp technology,innovation,work ethic the World(please use capitals for World)would be Argentina.Well I love argentina its a beautiful country.I hate the Unied States its full of assholes so that would be great.
Now let me tell you a few things The US is totally dependent on the country so infected by riots according to you.You better pray the Communists control them because if in the unlikely event China has a revolution the Us will collpapse in a sea of debt.Why the only thing propping up your deficit ridden nation is the Communist party of the Peoples republic of China.

Jan 15th, 2011 - 08:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yup, the British government was doing exactly that that in the 1970s and early 1980s but then the “intelligent” Argies cocked their chances up forever by invading in 1982. The British government of those times was prepared to ignore Falkland Islander self determination for “pragmatic” reasons, much like they did with the Chagossians, but that chance has gone now. Self determination for the Falkland Islanders is now written in stone.
Your stone i think will be quickly melted down by the violent seas of the South Atlantic and quicker than you imagine.Pride is an inportant facet of life but trade with rapidly expanding countries of 500 million against the wishes of 3000 people,no i think your foreign office havent become that impractical.Money is all that ever counted in the city of London even if the underclass of north England have been sufficently brainwashed to have romantic notions about islands 10000 kms away

“Money is all that ever counted in the city of London”
And the falkland issue has no effect on our economy apart from the 100 odd million a year it costs to station troops on the islands. 100 million which it would still cost us if they were stationed elsewhere. Infact you are right, money is ever counted in the city of london and with a potential massive oil industry sitting off the cost of the islands ready to boost the UK's economy( as south america clearly want nothing to do with it, if it happens :) ) I don't see how your theory is even logical.
Also, human right's aren't romantic notions. Possibly in your flawed democracy. In this country it's something we're used to.
Nico, There is not much more the UK could sell South America that they are not already buying, the avg income is what U$ 6k, it's not like the population is buying cars or planes or even Burberry and the gov'ts already buy or have long standing relationships with other countries.
Jan 15th, 2011 - 02:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I would guess unless they could steal patents but UK pretty much has a lock on Pharma can't really increase or ban those products, Arg doesn't have a military so who cares and the rest either are aligned with Russia or already buy from US UK OR EU so no change there, I guess maybe in food and drink, but Unilever is a huge employer in Arg so I don't think you'll rock the boat there, so what would this imaginary 500MM customers buy that they are not already buying?
Top UK exports:
Pharmaceutical and Bio-techs (Glaxo Smith Kleine, Astra Zeneca etc)
Defence/AviationIndustry (BAe, Rolls Royce Engines etc)
Food and Drink Industry (Diageo, Unilever etc)
Communications - (Vodafone, O2, BT etc)
Petroluem and Energy Industry (BP, Shell, Centrica etc)
It certainly is one nail in the coffin, but this time is it for Argentina not the Falklands. This is good news. We will get our own shipping link to somewhere else. The only losers in this situation is South America as it will lose consistent revenues. But South America has a great and proud history of cutting its own nose off to spite its face.

That will be a huge political blow for Argentina!!! But i am sure Argentina will continue to make political mistakes. One final nail Argentina, do it!

As for the poor ignoramus who thinks South Americans arent buying cars it might interest him that in Brasil in 2010 3.6 million new cars were sold whilst in Argentina with 40 million people just under 700,000 were sold.Both countries expect double digit growth in 2011 something the US and England could only dream of.
Glaxosmithklein has its own factory in San Fernando.AstraZaneca has a big distribution network in Argentina.In defence and aviation Embraer is hammering all competitors in South America.
Diageo oens Navarro Correas one of the continents largest wineries as Argentinas wines continue to show export growth at very high levels not least in the US.Unilever is a big player in Argentine food exporting quite alot and produceing much for the home market.
With regard to petroleum none of these companies are able to compete well in South america with Petrobras or Repsol/YPF
Most of the companies you mention are not English but multinationals such as o2 Spanish owned.
So Nico, you are agreeing with me? As for the cars, all of them are already owned by foreign owners, Ford, GM, Renault, what would UK make there the Mini? Even that is too expensive for sudacas, not to mention Rolls or Jaguar.
Jan 15th, 2011 - 03:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My point was that most UK products are too expensive for South Americans so even if the population is large the market is still very small economically and they already have good penetration where they do currently sell goods.
The reverse is not true SA needs to export more to UK, cheap products mostly food and it'sa huge economy. Looks like you need them more than they need you.

O'Gaga - the marxist irish who thinks that the British military committed atrocities in Ireland but fails to mention that, unlike the IRA, the British didn't set out to blow up women and children. Another cock-eyed view on reality.
Jan 16th, 2011 - 12:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0Poor Fred this is the last time I will waste my time on you an absolute boludo who tells me that the Mini which sells well in Argentina is an English product.Mini is a brand name of BMW that rather well known German company.As for Jaguar I think one of your bankrupt brands own them.Indeed almost all of Argentinas fast growing car production is produced by multinationals exactly the same as in england who don't really have any national brands left.With Chrysler now owned by FIAT,GM mostly owned by the German government and Ford dependant on Communist Chinese capital its a similar story inthe Us except that Argentine production is growing 30% a year while anglosaxon production is forever falling. As for the apologist for english military murder in Ireland what about bloody Sunday in Derry or the Dublin and Monaghan bombs which killed women and children and were done by the english army
Jan 16th, 2011 - 01:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0The British army doesn't use bombs in the streets ... and you're a fool if you believe it!

The Monaghan bombing bears all the hallmarks of a standard loyalist operation and required no assistance ... there are grounds for suspecting that the bombers may have had assistance from members of the security forces (but) Unless further information comes to hand, such involvement must remain a suspicion. It is not proven ”
The Loyalists were just as much terrorists as the Republicans.
There hasn't been an English Army since the Act of Union, but then anything before Peronism in Argentina is lost in the mists of time and lies, so we can't expect an RG to understand.
Jan 16th, 2011 - 02:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Mini is made at Cowley, Oxford, and is therefore a British-English product produced in a BMW owned plant, and Jaguar Cars are made at Castle Bromwich, Birmingham or Halewood, Liverpool, and are therefore another British-English product produced in a Tata Motors owned plant, these vehicles attract an Export Tax, as well as Corporation Tax on any profits they make payable to the UK Government. I understand however, that the concept of paying tax in Argentina is a mystery to its population.
You'll find that all vehicle manufacturers have a global business these days, and very few remain as 'National Brands' as the developed World moves towards a future dominated by Information Technology, rather than manufacturing. However, if you want a quality product then these are built in developed countries, at a premium price, certainly the UK is a leader in automotive design, and the pinnacle of this is Formula 1, in which every major team has their design team based in the UK, except Ferrari.
Fred would no doubt be able to answer for the US Automotive Industry, but I would suggest the answer would be along similar lines.
No-one knows what the real figures are in Argentina, since your Government lies about everything, and still owes the World a lot of money, so any figure you can quote is mere speculation.
'Anglosaxon' is a very old descriptive term to use, and really hasn't been used for at least several hundred years to describe the population of England; although the adjective 'anglo' is in usage to describe a partnership between Britain and another country, such as Anglo-French, Anglo-German, and you should have used, 'Anglo-American'.
It would also seem you're unaware of the present situation in Northern Ireland, everyone there is at peace these days, you really should get out more.
So to sum up, the rest of the world sells Argentina manufactured goods and the best Argentina can do in return is soya, beef and wine...

I still can't get over the fact that Argentinians compare bloody sunday to the dirty war that happened in argentina at the same time in history...the two acts are not even on the same level.
