Can the Falkland Islands achieve economic diversification borne from adversity?
The launch this month by the Falkland Islands Development Corporation (FIDC) of the Import Substitution Programme under the slogan, “Use Spades, Not Ships” bears striking parallels to the Grow More Food campaign established in war-time Britain during the Second World War. A campaign known better by its slogan – “Dig for Victory”. Read full article

Oct 26th, 2011 - 10:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The problem O gara is none of you either realise, or indeed care about the amount of fear, animosity and hatred of Argentina your insults and threats and your government actions and threats are stirring up in the Falklands.
Animosity tends to have a very long shelf life.
I've tried highlighting this is the most stark terms to your posters but for some of you it flies right over your head. The Falklands are a political football in Argentina, it a subject used to play on raw nationalist sentiments, sentiments that go way back into your murky political and military history. It's not something the rest of the world takes as a good sign as to the maturity of your democracy.
Short of invading and exterminating the population of the Falkland Islands or forcefully removing them - something that I wouldn't put past your leaders but I would suggest is highly unlikely to get away with - there is nothing you can do to win back the Falkland Islands.
The islanders are never going to voluntarily ask for negotiations with Argentina on issues of sovereignty. The British government is never going to get away with going behind the islanders backs and ceding sovereignty... thanks mainly to the memory of the Falklands War.
Any negotiations that ever took place in the auspicious of the UN would have to include the right of the Falklands to a vote on sovereignty and they are never going to choose Argentina.
There should be closer links between the islands and Argentina, but close links, winning hearts and minds, offering aid and support - making friends has never been on the Argentine agenda. Your national character is one of thinking with your balls, rather than your head.
Rape the Falklands and you can have your way. Only you've tried that and they're having none of it! You can keep thrusting your yourselves but you'll like a bull in a china shop!
Nationalist sentiment is too simplistic, easy to play with, harder to play down!
Anti Fascist why do i have start some serious criticism before you begin a serious non confrontational argument. The reality is nobody appreciates the fears of the islanders more than an Irishperson descendant of planters which is what I am.English policy is never anything but practical faced with Chinese power Hong Kongs history counts for nothing.The London government will always do exactly what is important for the English elite.Dont delude yourself about Britishness that is a figleaf which is close to death as Salmond rules Scotland.
Oct 26th, 2011 - 11:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes Scotland has become a one party state since Blair's devolution policy fragmented the country and his other policies attempted to destroy everything else but the story of devolution in the UK is itself is a classic demonstration of the power of nationalism. Given the choice between the old parties and one purporting to serve national interests, the majority will always vote for the nationalists, unless that party has been maligned.
Oct 27th, 2011 - 12:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0The original referendum for a Scottish government was very close, the Blair government pulled out all the stops to sell it to the Scottish people, the same was the case in Wales, where a previous referendum had resulted in a massive defeat for devolution.
There are classic examples of one party states purporting to be democratic, dominated by nationalist politics. Zimbabwe springs to mind as one extreme. Less so, Australia went through a phase with the Howard government but he was shot down in flames over his Republican agenda which the people of Australia overwhelmingly rejected.
The people of Scotland do not want independence but they like the idea of a party serving their interests. Salmond's also a shrewd politician, he runs rings around the other party leaders. But he has no chance of winning a referendum.
The British are good at banter but don't mistake it for a lack of respect, it's the exact opposite. The vast majority of people still believe in Britain and there will come a time, when the EU - which started the ball rolling with their “Regions” policy - will falls apart (soon). It's replacement will be something looking more like it's original intention - a common market.
Back to the point, nationalism is a very easy trumpet to blow, but the people blowing it are either too stupid, too opportunist, or too unscrupulous to be trusted. When the people jump to that trumpet, it's difficult to stop blowing, before too long you have a valley full of trumpet calls, an orchestra of trumpets, blowing all across the land.

anti fascist.You attack nationalism but cant see your own jationalism railing against the EU.You claim Scotland has no hope of being independent but recent opinion polls in Scotland suggest Salmond is well on the way to acheiving exactly that.This will become even closer to reality as the Tories rail ever more against the EU as Scotish attitudes like the Irish are pro EU.

Oct 27th, 2011 - 03:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What I'm against is small / narrow minded Nationalism, be it English, Scottish, American, Argentinian or anything else. An interest in your country & its survival is not nationalism, it's common sense. An interest in expanding your country or making resource grabs can be seen as nationalism, usually driven by corporate interests & a military/ind complex on the make!
I believe in the nation state system, although far from perfect, it offers the kind of checks and balances, a corporate dominated system of trade blocks moving ever closer to global governance can not offer. My politics can not be put in a box, I believe in nationalised utilities and public transport, a competitive economy for medium to small sized business, a limit to the size a business can expand to, effectively a ban on monopoly corporate capitalism.
If the Scottish really did want independence then that would be their choice. I don't want it, the lowland Scots were speaking English long before most of England was, we are the same Anglo-celtic people and we have the same interests, on the same island. Division is nuts.
I believe in a common market and nations working together. I can understand how a federated Europe could serve the people of Europe but our history, language, culture and systems of government are so different, so diverse that it is basically the forcing together of nations into one supper state, without the support, or approval of the people concerned. A recipe for disaster!
The Irish rejected the EU, they want it no more than the French or the British. The Irish govt kept coming back with a new referendum and the EU kept funding that referendum 90% more than the No campaign. Fear plays a big part too, people are consistently told of the consequences of not being part. I don't exaggerate when I call the EU a Soviet, it's effectively how it is run. It's there to serve corporate interests - in effect its the result of the mother of all SWAT and PETAL analysis.

That can't see that what we have in common is our humanity and respecting that would mean they abandon their lies and propaganda and accepted the right of the Falkland Islanders to determine their own sovereignty. The same way the British government accepts that the Falklands, Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales, the Isle of Mann, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark, ALderney, etc all have the right of self determination.
I wonder if Argentina would ever allow any of their provinces that right?
Marcos have some dignity and learn to be a human being!

Her Election campaign was full of naive statements and therefore her expectations were incorrect. She couldn’t understand the sensitivities of the job and believed that everything, no matter how politically or commercially sensitive, should be made fully public. And thus her excuse shifts the blame from her onto others, while in reality, it was her narrow-minded, stubborn and backward attitude that forced herself out.

Oct 28th, 2011 - 03:01 am - Link - Report abuse 01833 – January 2nd, the Clio and Tyne arrive in the Falkland Islands to find the Sarandi moored at Puerto Luis.
Cmdr. John James Onslow of the Clio, orders the Argentine flag to be lowered and hoists the Union Jack in its place. Lieutenant-Colonel José María Pinedo offers no resistance other than to protest.
On January 5th, the Sarandi evacuates the garrison together with two of Vernet’s settlers, Joaquin Acuña and Matthew González, and their wives.
Onslow persuades some twenty-four of Vernet’s settlers to remain and appoints William Dickson as the British Representative on the Islands.
February 8th, seven of the mutineers involved in Mestivier’s murder are shot by firing squad in a public execution.
Also in February, US Secretary of State, Edward Livingston seeks the opinion of Francis Baylies, who writes, ” The existing Government have repeatedly denounced the intrusive government under which the decree of the 10th of June (was made) as mutinous, and have recognized none of their laws and decrees… It may be asked why should they exhibit such pertinacity in sustaining Vernet? In my opinion they should have abandoned him without hesitation, had not the interest of some of the leading men in the Govt. been in a degree involved… Vernet will eventually be compelled to relinquish his claims to the Falklands which will become in some way or other the exclusive domain of the ruling family. – Hence the strong effort to sustain Vernet.”

l doubt that its inevitable as you say. lf it was you & all the other deluded malvinistas wouldn't have to get so emotional on these forums. You would just sit back & wait. No, its certainly not inevitable. Only in your dreams.
Think's more Scandinavian !

UK economy is one of strongest in EU// [not quite but strong enough ]
So we should be careful to write them of.//yes you should tred VERY carefully,
I do not believe Britain could EVER invade Argentina; we are too strong for them!
[[not true, we could, but it would cost a lot of lives,, but it can be done, we would most likely
Use other methods, [example] [EMP]. To start with.
They can never defeat our macho Army and our macho Navy and our heroic Ari Force.
You do not have a macho army; it’s a conscript army, [2/10]
Your navy cannot find the ocean, let alone a ship to sail it, ]
Your airforce, , the pilots are ok, your planes and leaders are total crap,,,,,
FLIPPO
A decent blog as sorts, at least you recognise that the British, can never be turned
And never turn your back on them, they are a small, but very powerful nation, that will take on anyone [if required]
We don’t fight to lose, we aim to win every time, all the time,
And when we do lose,,,,we come a very close second ???

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 - 09:05 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!

@67Malvin,
Oct 31st, 2011 - 09:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Wouldn't be worth it. When the shooting stopped & the dust settled, look at all the problems that Argentina has that we would inherit.
No thanks, you solve your own problems.
