“disruption caused by the volcanic eruption in Chile” those chileans are a pest! Really obnoxious people.
Jun 14th, 2011 - 12:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0Luckily the volcano is not in Argentina, because if it were, the islanders accuse us we want to sabotage its economy ...

Yup, the British colonialism is preferable to the Argentine colonialism !
Jun 14th, 2011 - 02:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0then you admit that the islands are a colony and not a democracy. Thanks, is what I wanted to hear
Jun 14th, 2011 - 03:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Happy liberation day
Jun 14th, 2011 - 05:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0JPL - how many times before you idiots get it? The Falkland islands are not an independent country. They are a British Overseas Territory with a large measure of self determination and democracy. Unlike Argentina which has a 'Flawed Democracy'. The old 'colony' became, via a circutous route, to being a BOT.
Jun 14th, 2011 - 05:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0When they have their own seat at the UN they'll be an independent democracy. It's only really their desire to remain British that stops this. Oh, and Argentine belligerence of course.
You people lack a few brain cells !
Happy Liberation day !
Well said, Redhoyt. ln fact l think that the Argentines are getting thicker in the head,judgin from some of the posts here.
Jun 14th, 2011 - 10:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0Hey, JPL. We are what we are & what we want to be & its got absolutely nothing to do with you or your silly country.
We can be:
1) a Kingdom.
2) a Republic.
3) a Colony.
4) an Overseas Territoryof ANY country that WE choose).
5) if we wanted to(we don't), we could even be a communist dictatorship.
And guess what? lTS NONE OF ARGENTINA'S BUSINESS.
So you can“wait to hear” what you like.

Jun 14th, 2011 - 11:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0don't replicate islanders tricks ...
Falkland Islands are UK military base and own just military personals !
really ,these bare islands are not the problem of Argentina !
really, Argentina has no intention to get them back !
The Spanish are currently employing a phrase, something about ' colonisation by consent not being acceptable', which is a bit wierd .... any decision by the people to be what they want to be HAS to be acceptable. It's called democracy, but then I suppose that you who don't have democracy can hardly be expected to understand it.
Jun 14th, 2011 - 11:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0geo - you either need to do some more research, or you are an idiota!

Jun 14th, 2011 - 01:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0according to my research that MALTA is an island as you know .
80000 British ....120000 Australia.....30000 Canadian
acquired Malta citizenship ...in 2010 !
why weren't you some of them instead of freaking out from these
empty,bare (base) islands at the foot of Antarctica ??!!
Ignorance is bliss Geo. You are the perfect example of this saying. You have completely discredited yourself. You have proved with your statements that you are out of your element and know nothing about the Falkland Islands.
Jun 14th, 2011 - 06:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is Mount Pleasant, which is the British military base, there is Stanley the Capital of the Falklands, which is populated by 2,500 civilians and there are 80+ farms sparsely populated around the entire Falkland Islands. In total there are 3,000 civilians. How do I know this? I am one of those civilians, as well as my family, friends, colleagues, neighbors etc. I saw hundreds of civilians today remembering those who died in the war and celebrating the liberation of the Falkland Islands. You should come here, you will be shocked at the level of your ignorance.

Jun 14th, 2011 - 09:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@ 10 if it is like you say, then why all the fuss on the telegraph website, mercopress, and on many other websites? you seem deluded, you say that everything's ok but you rant about Argentina's claim of sovereignty to “your home”. what is so scary about Argentina's claim of sovereignty?
