    What planet are you from?

    In the UK we employ professionals and others from all over the world.

    I wonder if you ever protested the FACT that your military was trained by former Nazi's from Germany between 1946-1982? Maybe it was before your time, maybe not, your posts read like the ravings of an Argentine pensioner still trapped in the year 1955.

    Indeed your government has been made up of first and second generation European immigrants for years. It's almost as if there is a bar on real Argentines in your government. Every profession and every sport in Argentina, you will find a mass of first, second and third generation migrants.

    But your government is solely the reserve of Europeans!

    You couldn't make it up. At least the Falklands has an excuse, it has a population of 3,200 and a thriving economy to offer migrants and a real need to grow its population (the constant threat of a fascist neighbor intent on land grabs). While Argentina has 40 million people and an economy going down the drain FAST!

    You fascistic morons need to grow up.

    And what has thing to with the blog,
    Except envy and jealousy of Britain,
    Perhaps if Argentina worried more abt her own country, rather than what the Falklands are doing,
    She would be a lot better off,
    Instead of an infatuated obsessed country ??

    5 Marcos Alejandro (#)----- Er whats it got to do with anyone from Argentina who goes to OUR Falkland Islands? You worry about the mess your feeble country is in and let us worry about the way we run our glorious sheep that are doing so well. You could be like us and do so well in the world if you you used your brains and elect better Idiots than you have elected. They will always shaft you peasants because you always let them.

    7. Kiwiarse obviously reading is not your strong point let me paste the key phrase you missed out:

    “Carl, who moves out to the Islands next week with his wife Jackie and their dogs, a Labrador called Betty and a Westie called Bonnie, will be posted there for two years. It is his intention to return to his chambers in Newcastle after that”

    Not exactly “implanted” numbnutts if he is only out there on a contractual basis for 2 years, as per stipulated by the organisation which hired him......the Falkland Islands Government.

    Carl has also lectured on mental health issues to legal and social care practitioners.
    Maybe he can pass on some useful advice to CFK about her condition!

    @15 Don't worry, Marcthingy. He's only partly English. He's from Newcastle. Pronounced Newcassel.

    As a matter of interest, how are you implanted, genocidal Spanish and Italians getting on? Do you still enjoy taking it up the butt? CFK does!

    (13) Isolde

    Sorry Isolde..... My bad.
    I forgot for a moment what an inferno of gossip and bachstabbing Malvinas can be…………
    Therefore…: TWIMC
    I swear to any Kelper or British Magistrate reading this that I never saw Isolde being in contact with any A, B or C substance or even “puffing the magic dragon”. Not once…. I swear.
    She is only on strong creamy coffee…

    Ps:
    Just to be on the safe side Cher Isolde… Keep those plants deep, deep into the forest.
    Ohhhhh… blast ............... I just remembered…. You are in Malvinas now, not in PNG…. No bloody forest!

    The only forest in Malvinas were in the front grounds of the Police Station. Unfortunately these beautiful trees were very sadly cut down. Kelpers were not happy with the authorities who gave the ok. Am I right Kelpers?

    @18
    Are you argies happy?

    Argentina's forests dwindle
    Biodiversity at risk as forests give way to desert.

    Ana Belluscio

    In 1914, Argentina was estimated to have more than 106 million hectares of native forests; by 1996, when a national action programme against desertification began, only 36 million hectares remained. Today, the country's forests are vanishing at a rate of more than 829,000 hectares a year, mainly where agriculture is pushing into native forests.

    My vice?........
    Same as yours!…..
    Real strong espresso with a thick, almost solid ”crema”…..
    A bit irreconcilable with my secluded way of life…. until I found this one, some years ago, in Italy:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlLd0zSmlRg

    No electricity needed.
    No maintenance needed.
    No mechanical parts to break.

    I can recommend it to any coffee junkie.

    The kelpers are the authorities you plank.
    The trees have also gone from the front of the cathedral, and good thing too.

    It is considered in the islands to be a good thing if the Senior Magistrate is from outside on a short term contract, for reasons which you could probably work out yourself.

    And if we think it's a good thing, then guess what? It's none of your business.

  • Anti-Fascist

    I wonder how many people came to live in Argentina last year?

    10,000?

    500,000?

    or more?

    Now how about the number who moved to work there on contacts?

    Is any of this legal? Apparently so.

    So what kind of fascistic asshole would claim it's not allowed for the Falklands?

    You fascists really make me want to pull your heads out of their sockets and stuff them up your backsides!

    You just don't understand anything other than a blue and white flag and a jackboot do you?

    MORONS!
