Kipling, the UN officially recognise UK sovereignty over the Falklands. Also, lets not forget that the Falklands are part of the Overseas Territory of the EU too, so the EU recognise British sovereignty.

@ 4: What? The UN rexognizes the sovereignty dispute. If it recognized the UK soveriegnty over the islands, it wouldn´t repeteadly be calling the UK to sit and negotiate.
Nov 11th, 2011 - 01:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@ 5: What? Some might recognize the British administration on the islands... but when most of the world is calling the UK to sit and talk, then they´re not so sure about the rights of the UK in Malvinas.
You constantly keep on denying reality.
UK to sit and talk
Nov 11th, 2011 - 01:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Talk about what? giving the Falklands to Argentina, everybody including you know that aint going to happen,unless the Falklanders want it, I think its you thats denying reality
@9 The UK is the official UN-recognised Administering Authority for the Falkland Islands.
Nov 11th, 2011 - 01:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Only South American dingbats call for the UK to sit and talk. No-one else of any importance says anything.
Regrettably, you cannot see the reality that your brain-dead politicians rush around the world spouting your claims and, everywhere you go, people say “Yes. Quite right.” Until you've gone away! You may get “links” and “trade agreements” but no-one says anything to the UK. And, after countries all around the world have got what they want from you, they will drop you back where they found you. In debt, in inflation, in corruption and in denial.

Nov 11th, 2011 - 01:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I never said the islanders would ever want to accept argentinian citizenship.
Your friends DID say the world recognizes the UK sovereignty.
The UN does recognises Falklands rights. Those rights are enshrined in UN Resolutions. What has Argentina got - nothing since 1988 ! NOTHING!

Nov 11th, 2011 - 04:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The German/British royals are coming back to claim one of their last remaining colonies, at least his mother came to visit Argentina for a good cause and his brother to learn polo(alcohol and prostitutes included), at least he served six months in Afghanistan not six weeks in peaceful Argentina.
Let's see what the British think about this school field trip:
“So how much does this one trip cost us the taxpayer?
This article appears to infer that he's doing the country a favour rather than the country financing a trip away so that he can piss about as a so called co-pilot in the FI
And that's what it's all about. Any time any member of this family do anything at all it is written in this slavish newspaper as though WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL TO THEM EVEN THOUGH THEY COST US AROUND £380M PER ANNUM.
Unbelievable, it is PURE INDOCTRINATION, LIES AND THE PRESENTATION OF A LIE MASKED AS TRUTH”
“He can migrate there with all his family . Bloodsucking cash parasite”
“I am amazed that this non-story gets the light of day as they name the latest soldier to die in Afghanistan”
”An expensive political gesture costing the British taxpayer an unjustifiable sum of money. They cost the taxpayer around £1.5million peryear in security alone (30k per week) and I'm sure this will be beefed up on the Falklands because of the relative lack of police there. Get your cheque books out folks, Mr and Mrs Oldenburg are going on holiday!
”I'm sorry, but the royal twits are lucky that the British people are so stupid, that they still support this archaic waste of money. Go and live permanently on the falklands with your token bride you toff and pay your own way. I can't believe we re still paying to support this incredibly wealthy family. it's insane!!

Firts at all, uk killed many cultures and invided many countries with terrible consequences all around the world. Blody history of uk. Ireland, Belice, India, Pakistan, Afganistan, Australia (holland and aborigen people), etc. Just killers
Nov 11th, 2011 - 06:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The falklands (british territory), belongs to the queen, the rest are peasants. She can veto direct or indirect (behind the mirror) anything what is not in her interests that also include in the Falklands, she, her family are the largest land owners, that include in canada, australia even that they have their own rules and government, and in other overseas british territory. Same as the Dutch royal family who are in reality related cousins with other “royal” families.
Nov 11th, 2011 - 07:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Falklanders can be truly free, but they won't do it because they need the UK (taxpayers who are willing to pay for the defence of the falklands) for security against Argentina. Even if Argentina wasn't a threat, the UK government would not allow the people in the falklands to be truly free, for strategic reasons, though they spin that into another story so that patriotic tools believe them without any problems...uk government knows that. Their biggest defence is simple “let the falklanders decide”. Logic, brilliant and the truth, because they know that the falklanders need their security, at any cost.
The Argentines have done it wrong for many years and still play the game wrong. They've could simple let it rest, create friendship, slowly export people (very little groups) to the islands, let them integrate (not complete behind close doors) teach the new generation their version, slowly and slowly (fake it till you make it) export more but little groups of people, and by the time they would dominate. Exactly what the mexicans are doing with the south east of the US with permission of the government open border policies. why? you don't want be branded as a racist.
Kipling - the pile of dog shit I have just stood in is talking more sence that you!
Nov 11th, 2011 - 07:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The drill bit keeps turning.
Kipling, no one doubts Britain has done many terrible things in the past. Britain has learnt from it and that is why they don’t have colonies anymore, and have Overseas Territories based on partnership.
Nov 11th, 2011 - 07:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So on one hand you condemn Britain for destroying cultures and invading countries and say it is bad, and on the other hand you say it is okay for Argentina to do the same to the Falklands. So it is bad for Britain to do it many years ago, but it is okay for Argentina to do it in the present day. Make up your mind Kipling...
Another example of the illogical and hypocritical Argentine claim.
after the 2nd uk attack (it was defeated) in Buenos Aires in 1807, the uk decided to bring the Malvinas after many Spanish and uk despute. As a support this defeat, it is until now.
Nov 11th, 2011 - 07:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0For a newly-minted country Argentina had managed to commit genocide of the indigenous people, numerous boundary disputes with neighbours and fair number of aggressive wars. It might be a very young country but who knows how history will judge their past when they have one long enough to compare with long established civilizations like Spain or Italy?
Nov 11th, 2011 - 07:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Marcos Alejandro “And that's what it's all about. Any time any member of this family do anything at all it is written in this slavish newspaper as though WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL TO THEM EVEN THOUGH THEY COST US AROUND £380M PER ANNUM.”
Nov 11th, 2011 - 08:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Get your facts right, they actually cost the Exchequer £60m a year. Their estate pays its profits of £200m a year into the Exchequer. Thus we make a profit of £130-£140m a year. The majority of the £60m goes to stuff that would have to be paid for in a republic, such as the palaces, security, transport etc. We save the cost of an election every few years and we get tourism revenue. A pretty good deal, I think.
now the population of Malvinas is Militar 1700 from uk, Gibraltar, Chilenian, Kiwis (NZ), from uk, another country, just few people.
Nov 11th, 2011 - 08:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ah yes, the monarchy publicity machine in full effect. Justifying their existence through foreign visits.
Nov 11th, 2011 - 08:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Strange that Willy should get “deployed” (booked) to Falklands/Malvinas of all places.
These royal visits remind me of animals pi55ing to mark their territory.
(Canada will be free from royal/commonwealth p155 soon btw)
Why not deployed somewhere random along England's coast like all the other pilots?
And theres no mention of the sas/sbs/navy detachments that will be watching for every danger or knee scrape. How rude :)
Its a well timed “deployment” as the other 'Majestic' ones finish up their visits/advertising campaigns...convenient.
These people are celebrities, just very rich celebrities, famous for being famous.
And they play the public.
That in itself is not a totally bad or unusual thing.
The bad thing is that they claim too much as theirs and still receive yet more from the UK taxpayer, they are already massively rich.
They can still generate tourism income for England and stay to the level of 'very very rich' while not receiving even more taxpayers money. Other royal families do this for their countries.
Their unused multi-million properties and other assets could generate more tourism cash if opened up to visitors.
Its not like they'll be sleeping on the street.
They also can veto laws to suit themselves, this is ridiculous. These PEOPLE need a reduction in power and assets, it would be for the better of all.
They're unusually bloated on money and power to the detriment of their country, they need to be re-assessed and re-positioned for the good of the people they represent.
Loyalty is admirable, blind and unquestioning loyalty is no loyalty at all.

Kipling #21
Argentina does feature a bit in Genocides Of The World http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocides_in_history
whereas the UK, who warred their way around the world for a couple of centuries were not conspicuous by their desire to 'do a Ghengis'.
With the one unforgivable exception - Tasmania - the British were more atuned to live-and-let-live within the Empire, exerting minimal energy in returning Colonial peace and harmony whenever the local need arose (Mau Mau, Eoka, IRA, etc), occasionally getting their butt kicked (North West Frontier - a few times), but eventually de-colonizing with sufficient elan that the countries rushed to join 'The English Club - The British Commonwealth.
An act of provocation ! - they're a funny bunch. Who ought to mind their own business.

http://falklandsnews.wordpress.com/2011/11/11/a-provocative-act/
Actually, it is Argentina that is provocative, running around the world telling anyone they can corner about their “claim”. An intelligent, mature country would determine its chance of succeding in such a claim and either take the matter to a competent authority, like the ICJ, or give up. Instead, Argentina is a version of tinnitus. A constant, annoying background noise. Like ordinary tinnitus, it is an infection. All we really need to do is to figure out how to kill the microbes.

Destiny29 amd the other pathetic whinging Argies on here - It has NOTHING to do with his family! His squadron rotates crews through the Islands - FULL STOP. That means every flight crew from RAF Valley gets posted to the Islands sooner or later. It is ROUTINE - and in the eyes of the RAF he is a trained proffessional helicopter pilot - and little more.
Nov 12th, 2011 - 01:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes - the fact that it has been publicy announced 3 months in advance is possibly a deliberate jibe at stupid pathetic Argentine politicians who winge and shout - and are now getting upset because at last UK is starting to sling dirt back at you!

Grow up and get a life!

Terribly charming genteleman is the Prince William. I have had the honour of meeting him whilst he was In Wales. Absolutely spiffing that he underates a tour of duty in the Falkland Islands and I sincerely hope that he enjoyes his duties safely and successfully.

Not many people in the World trusts Argentina, it lives in a little bubble all wrapped up in that bubble thinking that it has never done a thing wrong in the World.
It should be one of the greatest countries in the World with the resource's that it has. But time after time we see the petty squabbling in that country. The people that live there are from all over the world and as such should be putting each culture to use to make Argentina great. Thank God the people that live in Argentina are no longer living in their respective countrys or the whole World would be in a far worse state than it is now. Freaking Muppets

Nov 12th, 2011 - 09:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0The UN has never called for the UK and Argentina to negotiate a transfer of sovereignty, the UN has never said the Falklands are rightfully Argentine territory. What it has asked is that the UK and Argentina negotiate an end to their DISPUTE over sovereignty. Two very different things, although Argentina likes to conflate them for her own purposes. What's more Argentina refuses to negotiate with an open agenda, Argentina has already determined the outcome of these “negotiations” and enshrined them in her constitution. No wonder the UK is not interested in talking...

The fight is not in anybody's interest, but the message such a re-naming would pass would be the unambiguous declaration of where the line is;
'step over it and you're dead' would be the message.

Nov 13th, 2011 - 01:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0China cannot stop Britain doing anything !
Now wouldn't that be REALLY dumb, enabling China to set up military bases across South America!
Nov 13th, 2011 - 02:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As if China is going to interfere with the affairs of another Security council member when UN supports the Falklands islanders rights. Kipling is this the same China that CFK just stabbed in the back by stopping that massive oil deal going through.

Nov 13th, 2011 - 07:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Wait you was wrong, yes we know,
We cannot change items to suit, china would not, will not cannot, at this time or in the next 50years at the very least, have military base in the Atlantic,
Like it or not this is our back yard, and it would never happen, the consequences are to great,
Unless of course Argentina capitulates and allows china to build and operate a base on argentine soil,
In this case, argentine , claim to the Falklands would come to an end quickly and permanently, as Argentina would surely not be around to claim anything but china, or her territory, and claims to want them to go home .
justa thoughta ??
@Kipling wait, did you can you read what was written, i did not mention china, amazing you can read what i did not even write,lol
One day st Peter and God were cheating away as they often do, and st Peter said to God yo Bro you need to lighten up on me posse down there man, dem der me bro's ya know's what a mean, and God look at st Peter and said, woooo Peter baby chill out man I know there are a lot of war's and some other stuff I toss down on them from time to time, but I did balance it all out by giving them the best joke ever, and what be that then asks st Peter, God looks down and point's and says that place there the Argentine it will keep the rest of the world laughing for eon's, and just to rub it in, you see that little Island near by well I gave them every thing the Argis want,
Nov 14th, 2011 - 05:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0Kipling, if Argentina is foolish enough to allow the Chinese to build a military base on their soil, the rest of South America will curse Argentina for ever.
Nov 14th, 2011 - 11:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0But of course, there wouldn't be an Argentina.
“wait”?
Nov 14th, 2011 - 12:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, Kipling, I am still waiting for you to tell us exactly which UN Resolutions say the Falklands are rightfully Argentine territory and that the UK must negotiate a transfer of the Falklands to Argentina.

says things, then stops, states things then changes the subjust,
very odd,
No Briton, he's just trying to get an answer from yet another Argentinian spanner, who can't answer because he has his head stuck up his bottom trying to figure out why he's constipated.
Nov 15th, 2011 - 12:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@77 No Kate. Sorry. I think she is moving to Scotland for the duration.

Nov 15th, 2011 - 04:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Brits and Argies here, lend me an ear. There's nothing to discuss about and we all know why, albeit from different points of view. You'll never grow. May I quote Borges? (the fight for the islands is that of) “Two baldmen fighting for a comb”. Should there be anything to solve, it will be done diplomatically or via a UN final Resolution, not here. So let it be, and do not hurt each other's feelings for the sake of showing who's who. Instead, shake hands and say I'm sorry. Let British royal pilot Flt Lt Wales come and go as he wishes and forget about it. Cheers!
Nov 16th, 2011 - 04:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0he will anyway,
Nov 16th, 2011 - 07:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0theirs nothing to stop him,
I am surprised that anyone is still worried whether they should be called the Falklands or Maldives. The last fight was only started to distract from the economic condition Argentina was in at the time. The latest sword rattling was to cause a distraction from the current internal unrest.
Nov 17th, 2011 - 07:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This time it worked the same Presidenta is back.
For those who want to correct my spelling Dilma my Presidenta has said that this is the correct form of address for a female President. Take the issue up with her NOT ME. I have already had my say to her about this topic.
he is just a pilot doing his job,

Nov 17th, 2011 - 10:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I’ve seen these guys in action at the coast,
And they operate in most weathers,
Very brave men indeed, putting their lives on the line, for others .

If the British can change Chairman to Chairperson to Chairwoman in the interests of being so beautifully Politically Correct,
Nov 17th, 2011 - 10:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0then surely the Brasilian President can declare her gender to all and sundry by adding the feminine 'a', defining her as a Presidenta.
If the language allows the nuance, then why not use it!
The nationalists put on the patriot record in 1982 and it is still stuck on play, while they pine for a lost war and military junta soaked in Argentine blood, they make excuses and say they had to kill the terrorists. For terrorists, read right wing government provocateurs about 100 dead to the tens of thousands murdered by their government, tortured, raped, kicked out of the back of aircraft over the sea. Operation Condor, the CIA's programme of political genocide in Latin America is now well documented but to our nationalists it is to be over looked, it doesn't exist, they can read the official documents but not see them. Show them the documents and they will see nothing. If it goes against their image of the heroic Argentine and the brave military struggle against the Amerindians, the political left and everyone else it isn't true. All across the internet, wikipedia, etc they edit anything critical of Argentina, the Conquest of the Desert read 1,500 Indians killed for attacking government troops and civilians, rather than the millions killed for no reason other than they were not European and not part of the system, everything is edited, changed, the truth becomes a lie. The Argentine right wing are a mind controller's dream come true!
