I feel sure that Mercosur/EU beef deals will take place without Argentina.
Mar 10th, 2011 - 06:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Paraguay and Brasil will take up the slack at a price that gives scope for UK (and Irish) beef farmers to flourish.
A pity for Argentina, whose beef production/export declines at an alarming rate.

How good for Britain is this? No Argentine ambassador whining in the FCO's ears for around 5 years. Maybe they've realised that even the FCO wasn't listening.
Mar 10th, 2011 - 08:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Another conspiracy theory.
Mar 10th, 2011 - 09:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0if they had an embassy with someone in it, they would be forever being called to get a bollocking.
It would be very hard for them to explain why they are doing illegal things [again]

You know this, so why try to twist the truth into a web of lies?

Mar 11th, 2011 - 07:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0Dam - And that was me thinking he was referred to as Twiterman purely because he is a TWIT lol
-so what, the Ambassador wasn't worth worrying about.
Mar 11th, 2011 - 09:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0-neither is his embassy, but its sad. boo hoo!
i've seen a lot of news in mercopress, and im agree with AlejoMartinez, this page is obviously anti-argentinian, but doesnt matter, because the only one who thinks malvians are british are the brits and the usurpers of that islands, so let the brits think what they want, if they dont want to know the truth is their problem, even in their hystory they think they are heroes jaja

Mar 11th, 2011 - 04:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Who are the Argentina Ambassadors in Russia and China, then?
@Searinox #21 No malvians are falkland islanders, and it is they that say they are british, as they choose to be so by right of self determination. So anyone who thinks otherwise, is against anyone including themself from having any human rights. So as you think people should not have human rights searinox, how about i come to yours and stitch your mouth close and chop your fingers off to prevent your from speaking and typing, and as such taking away your right to freedom of speach. Or how about i come there and say sorry you are off spanish decent and not a native of south america as such you have no right to self determination in order to remain in south america so i am going to force you on a plane back to spain. Yeah you wouldn't like that i would shout louder then anyone about breach of your human rights wouldn't you - You hypocrite.
Mar 11th, 2011 - 07:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Truth is the falklands was the falklands long before argetina existed as a country, and the islands never formed part of argentine sovereign territory and never will.
The same rights you gave to the French nun’s before you threw them out of the helicopter...rights, you are the experts .
Mar 11th, 2011 - 10:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What about Chagos Archipielago?? is the same history of malvinas but with another country, what about the self determination of the people who lived in malvinas before 1833, or beter what about the self determination of the people who lived in chagos archipielago before UK expelled them too and take control of their archipielago?? please brits you say self determination when in both cases you didnt respect it, in malvinas you said you were in there before and what about chagos?? you didnt were there before and you did exactly the same thing that malvinas. You dont have any excuse. Malvinas Argentinas
Mar 11th, 2011 - 11:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So let me get this straight.
Mar 11th, 2011 - 11:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You condemn the British for what they did in the Chagos islands.
Quite rightly, what they did there was utterly wrong. I don't think anyone would disagree with you.
And I doubt that anyone would disagree with the statement that given half the chance, the FCO would have done exactly the same to the Falkland Islanders. Thankfully the FI lobby stopped them.
So what do you want?
Do you want the British Government to do exactly the same to the Falkland Islanders now?
If you claim the British were wrong in the Chagos Islands, then you have to be an utter hyprocrite to advocate the same for the Falklands.
If you do advocate the same, you're an utter hypocrite for slagging off the British in the first place.
Lets be honest about this, none of you give a shit about the plight of the Chagossians. For you guys its just a ploy to insult when you can't respond to the arguments that demonstrate self-determination is paramount.
You are a bunch of hypocrites who cannot admit that what Argentina advocates is wrong.
JustinKuntz You are the one who dont get it, its is not just an example about what you did twice and maybe more times to get malvinas back, i mean ofcursethis is usefull, but what i meant to say is that british did it and you ask for self determination when twice or more times you didnt respect it, so who is the hypocrite, jaja you are because you want rights and you dont respect the others rights, thas what hypocrite means idiot
Mar 11th, 2011 - 11:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So if we didn't respect it in the Chagos islands?
Mar 11th, 2011 - 11:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It still does not make it right to ignore it in the case of the Falklands.
Clearly you don't understand the concept of hypocrisy.
@Searinox - You ask about the rights of the people on the islands back in 1833. Well for one they had no such thing as human rights laws back then or that of self determination, yet the british allowed the settlers to stay on if they wished, and only peacefully evicted the illgal garrison. So by allowing the settlers to stay on the birtish gave them the option of self determination as an act of compassion not an act of compliance of law, since human rights laws did not exist back then.
Mar 12th, 2011 - 12:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0What happened in the chagos islands was wrong and alot of british people were against it at the time, but our government knows that we will not allow them to make the same mistake twice by doing the same to the falkland islanders. Hence why the government now stands up for the islanders right for self determination as we, the british people will not have it any other way.
And as Justin points out, you are simply using what happen in the Chagos Islands as a ploy, you want us to do the same thing again and not respect human rights, but then you condem us for doing the same in the falklands in 1833 even though we did no such thing in 1833. You are a hypocrite.
The islands never belonged to argentina they were british islands since 1690 when we first claimed sovereingty. Spain ceded their claim to sovereingty in 1771. Argentina did not exist as a country till 1853, and even then the southern provinces were independent native peoples territory, for which us british set up missionary settlements in years before argentina enforced a government on the natives in 1884 (tierra del fuego) and slaughtered the natives between 1880's and 1910's. In 1869 it was us brits that establish Ushuaia. So we were in tierra del fuego before any of you argentinians were, we built Ushuaia, so we have a better historical case for claiming the tierra del fuego province as british soveriegnty then you have, and as so, there goes any argument of the falklands being part of tierro del fuego province territory.
Justin are you retarded?? im saying that invasion is the normal way UK colonized a lot of territories, im not saying that islanders deserve the same destiny that chagos archipielago, you have 0 understanding, the same thing you did in chagos archipielago, you did in malvinas, one uk version said there were not people in malvinas in 1833 and another uk version said some people who lived in there in 1833 stay living in malvinas, so even your government doesnt know what invention is what benefits them more, so they dont decided if there were not people or there were, sodont say about hypocrite, because your monarchy is number one in that thread
Mar 12th, 2011 - 01:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0@searinox - theres was no indigenos population on the island in 1833, the settlers there did not have the right to stay as they were not british, but the british showed compassion and allowed them to remain, the fact is, that when britiain first claimed the islands, their was no native population in 1690. You are confusing are confused as to what is a native population and what is population of non ntive settlers.
Mar 12th, 2011 - 03:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0As for us invading and claiming lands, well didn't you do the same thing in 1880's through to 1910's when you invade tierra del fuego territory and virtually wiped out the native population to whom the land belonged too. At least we did not wipe out any native population on the falklands in 1690 or 1833 as there never was any native population in the falklands. Also did you not try to do the same thing in 1982, and now trying again with your economic and political acts of agression towards the islanders? Yes you are, so as i and Justin have said you are a HYPOCRITE
And yes you are saying that we should not give the islanders the right to self dertermination like we did not give the chagos islanders the right to self determination. Because you want the islands yourselves and do not care that the islanders wish to remain british. So now your an even bigger HYPOCRITE than you were when you made post #27. Congratulations on making a mockery of yourself on a public website lol.
what is this stupid request for selfdetermination isn't UK free ?? how does Argentina have anything to do with illegal aliens demanding UK for selfdetermination, aren't or aren't this illegal aliens free to go back home to UK of stay in Argentina ??? I really don't understand how stupid europids can be, this people will never understand that it wasn't Argentine who put the there it was UK and it is UK the only people who can recognize them, we know our history in Argentina bery well to forget that UK brought this illegal aliens to rid themselves of pesty civilians and now Argentina is finding out how pesty this british inplants can really be.

@33 Teaboy2, our friend “I” is a complete raving lunatic. First he says he's in Canada then the US. l don't think he knows where he is.

Hominid (human being) -> europid. Weak insult.
Anthropoid (ape group) -> europoid. Strong insult.
Isolde (34). I don't know any Canadian or US citizens who write such atrocious English, let alone the spelling. Doubtful he lives in any Anglo Saxon (WASP) country

Oh dear what a tragedy I didn't even know they had an ambassador present, let alone protesting by not having one :)
Mar 13th, 2011 - 12:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Shows how earth shattering this monumental protest has been!
And there was me thinking all along that the reason for no Ambassador was just another typical example of Argentine efficiency :)
Is it true that President Cristina said privately
