I have been reading Mein Kampf and there is a lot of good information in there about how to deal with issue of las malvinas.

Tronease- have you not heard the expression-“friends you can choose but neighbours you are stuck with” - both the Islands and Chile have the same thoughts on this one!

4 People have tried and tried and tried to employ the techniques laid down in Mein Kampf - sin exito.
It proves the adage about there never having been an intelligent fascist, and the definition of insanity as by repeatedly trying to do the same thing, the same way, unsuccessfully...

there are good and bad neighbours, and like the Falklands, Chile Uruguay and Paraguay know who the bad neighbour is.

Ah yes. This is another nail in the coffin. These nails Think speaks of...does he know that these nails are just rhetoric? No action, just words. Talking doesnt hammer nails into a coffin, but actions can. But yes, by all means, keeps these imaginary nails coming! These “nails” have been hammered into the Falklands coffin for years, and yet nothing has changed! And nothing will. I will die long after Think has, and I will be buried in Stanley, with the British flag still flying over the Secretariat.

You got to love those nails!

Sorry people for comment 8. I signed in and Mercropress took me to a different story and I assumed I was still on the one I wanted to comment on.

I hope MLA Edwards kept the volume and tone of his voice down to a respectable level, as we all know, he loves a good shout!

“I have been reading Mein Kampf and there is a lot of good information in there about how to deal with issue of las malvinas. ”

I read Mein Kampf also and the idea of killing Argentines is most amusing.

Anybody who is an observer of British crime series on television would realise that the Cameron and Clegg Coalition are doing the “Good Cop, Bad Cop” routine.

Cameron's team says “We will defend TFI to the death” [BAD Cop]

Clegg's team says ”We are very much interested in the Falkland Islands situation, oil prospects and our relations with “our neighbours across the sea” [GOOD Cop]

Clegg's extension of the hand of friendship was re-emphasised last week in his half-hour Millenium interview on Globo News, Brasil.

But , let nobody be deluded, this is an iron fist in the velvet glove.
Shake the glove and you need never know that the fist exists.
