    Also a clear sign that Britain is investing large amounts of money in these small far flung countries and is prepared to help any oppressed people except argentinians.

    The rules of the game are clear;
    play by the rules and even Argentina can be helped.

    The British Overseas Territories should be thankful to Argentina, because if it wasn't for Argentina, the British government would have never noticed them, now the British government know that you exist. Isn't that great?

    @1 An airport tin? It's what the Argentine government thinks an airport is. A little tin with half an aircraft and a set of steps.

    This is the fourth time today I have caught you threatening to kill the peaceful people of the Falklands (the Malvinas STILL does not exist).
    Despicable person.

    @16 Pirat-Hunter Your a mentalist. The world will not forget how we helped the Libyan people fight for democracy ? I should damn well hope not.

    Go back to Spain, and end your illegal occupation of south america.Let the natives have their homes back.

    By following your flawed logic, this is the conclusion i am drawn to

    YOU illegally occupied the islands back 1832, and also in 1982.You can not falsify history.....You are the true pirate.I can see you have an eye patch and everything......

    Echoing earlier comments from Foreign Secretary William Hague, Cameron also warned of “serious consequences” for Iran, adding that Britain would consider what measures it would take in the coming days.
