And nothing to do with argentine, vultures
And the grim reapers who hang over the Falklands like vermin

The Islanders should work a deal with Argentina now as they hold all the cards. They keep their autonomy, British passports and make a pile of dinero from the oil....then when the oil has gone and all the chav poms have fled back to their council estates they can go back to the quiet life.
Oct 24th, 2011 - 09:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I met Glen Ross in 2007. He's a nice guy but he needs to learn how to grovel. Emma had a taste of the high life when she visited the british parliament so I can't blame her for chasing her dreams.
Envy nothing but jealous envy ,

Oct 24th, 2011 - 10:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In her letter of resignation, Emma Edwards wrote:
“As I now know I will be leaving the Islands in August 2012..
A few weeks ago Emma Edwards was removed as the Tourism Representative. The portfolio was transferred to ”King” Mike Summers, her family did not like that at all.
Good riddance Emma!!!

I wonder who you are. Does anyone have a name for this cretin?
He is obviously connected in some way to the Argentine security service. I just wonder if we can dig anything up in his involvement in crime.

Oct 25th, 2011 - 02:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Such rage ! ...and we were just talking about chavs too.
I can sympathise with your anger though, especially since your esteemed leader denied you the right of a referendum, has sold you out to an unelected shower of Kleptocrats in Belgium - which itself no longer has a government and can't rule itself - and has sold all your souls to J.P.Morgan who will no doubt send Tony Blair back to further indoctrinate you into the beauties of a single party state and the benefits of being ruled by the banks and brussels - the latter apparently now demanding the power to tax you directly so funding further their agenda to .......well, who knows what they want. They certainly don't -but we can be certain that whatever utopian dream they are pursuing it will inevitably end in complete chaos.
Islanders take careful note please.

Really you are a true Fascist. Does it all with the obvious. Emma denies rework their future. You have to respect people who have another point of view and truth ... Thinking differently is the most normal thing in democracy and freedom. Looking for fresh air in British politics, although I disagree with your thoughts on the dispute over the islands, I appreciate the courage of it in seeking new horizons and perspectives in politics.
Looking beyond inspired by Cristina Kirchner, Dilma Rousseff or Michelle Bachelet.
As I said the singer Mercedes Sosa Argentina. ... Changes, everything changes ....
Perhaps this work to an agreement between the parties. (Perhaps the future governor of two flags ... ...)

Oct 27th, 2011 - 09:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder if everytime an Argentine government official disagrees with Argentine policy we can then claim Argentina should belong to the UK?
Just a thought.

comedians you may be, but children youncertainly are .
On the basis of the British invasion of Río de la Plata I have been able to establish that Argentina is in fact owned by Great Britain.
Oct 29th, 2011 - 09:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have been tabling a series of motions at the UN in order to officially establish this claim to Argentina. There is historical president for this, on the basis of an almost 200 year invasion of the Falkland Islands by a German and some British ex patriots, Argentina claims the Falkland Islands.
I can establish as historical fact that Río de la Plata was invaded by Britain and that this claim was never renounced, there is over 200 years of continued British claim to Argentina.
This makes all Argentines suject to British law and taxation. I am planning to get Buenos Aires renamed Port of Britain. Argentina will be called Bairdland, after the leader of British forces in the first occupation of Río de la Plata.
It is important to state that this did not happen just once - as in the Argentine claim to the Falklands...... but twice!
