@1 If you read the article, dimwit, you would have noticed that the cargo was insured by the UK government. And if something is recovered after the insurance has paid out, who does it belong to?

Silver price is currently about US$100 per ounce. I reckon the British government is going to get about $140 million or more. Hey, we could buy another 2 Eurofighter Typhoons for that! Good, isn't it?

Silver is at $30 US. Wish it was $100.

@1, Marcos,
Do you really stop to think before you make statements like this?
Are the British liable for ALL the wrongs of the world?
lt must eat you up when you realise that the Falklands are forever out of your grasp.
Argentina was stolen from the native peoples & should be returned to them(two can play at that game, Marcos!).
