Dec 27th, 2011 - 01:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0While Falklands can be supplied with food fuel etc from UK. Islanders should look at the possibility of establishing business and possibly air links to the USA. In order that they can have access to international airports without having to come all the way to Brize Norton in the event of the air link being abolished. Although the US signed the OAS agreement Obama wouldn't really go as far as to support the embargo would he.

Firstly I live in UK my only concern is for the rights of Islanders. Secondly Falklanders have freely indicated they wish to be constitutionally tied to UK. Therefore to force them to accept ties with Buenos aries is in itself an act of dictatorship. Also remember the capital of the Falkland Islands is stanley which already has it's own elected Government which does a great job of representing the Falkland Islands.

27 This is the problem if Falklands became part of Argentina as a small community they'd have no rights over their Islands or Homes. Whereas with UK they have the same rights as anyone else That's why they'll never accept Argentine rule.

Dec 27th, 2011 - 02:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We´re all concern about the rights of Islanders. If they want to be tied to the UK, they can be tied to the UK in british territory, not in argentine. Argentina won´t accept the “right” of any part of its population to chose to be tied to whatever country they choose and will confront that “right” no matter of its the Malvinenses, Santacruceños o Misioneros those with those “rights”. Territorial Integrity comes first.
To force them to be tied with Buenos Aires is not an act of dictatorship. The islands are part of Argentina, how can they be tied to a foreing power? If the islanders want to leave or stay.. they can do whatever they want.
The Falklands Governement represents the imported population that by force and by an act of piracy expelled the original population.
@22 Actually Lan and Tam merged and now have the name of Latam so that the new company is a Chilean-Brazilian corporation. Actually more Chilean than Brazilian since Lan was bigger than Tam.

Hong Kong was leased in agreement with China a little like leasing a house for a period of time it had to be returned. Falklands were never leased from anyone they are British so ne need to negotiate with anyone. And since 1945 Uk has cared about self determination that's why places that wanted independence got it. Places that don't are welcome to remain tied to Uk. Their rights will always be respected until the end of time.

He was lucky to survive. Some of his fellow inmates were mutilated with castration pliers and beaten to death with clubs.”

The current Falkland Islands population is the result of the original (first ) inhabitants + subsequent imigrants... They were perfectly happy with being a colony and so had no reason to fight the colonial powers (maybe the British were just better colonial masters than the Spanish). The colony has now evolved into a self-governing BOT.
Exactly the same scenario, just a different outcome.

@55. There were no expulsions from Falklands. I reralise the indoctrination you go through at school is hard to overcome but really if you ever want to be taken seriously you have to move away from the indoctrination speech. The only people ever expelled were the Argentine Garrison in 1833 which was there despite UK making clear it owned the islands and the Argentine soldiers of 1982 who again were there illegally. Falklands is not a colony irt is a self Governing overseas territory with full internal Government UK does just 2things Defence and foreign policy.

Why is it that the few members of Vernet's settlement who decided (voluntarily)to go home are considered as the original inhabitants in your mind, but the majority who stayed are not. Double standards again. Also, only about 70% are of British descent.
You are partially correct that the Islanders cannot stand on their own two feet, but only in one very important area. The fact that they have an aggressive nation on their doorstep with a grudge that is well past its sell-by date means that they need external help when it comes to defence. Apart from that (and a bit of help in foreign affairs) they can look after themselves quite nicely.
You are right to some extent that colonies are now called BOTs, but they have evovled considerably from the original concept. The Falkland Islanders have far more say over their own affairs than you will eer have in Argentina. France basically call theirs Overseas Departments, but you don't seem to have any problems with the hug one of those sitting on your continent. Maybe its because you know that the French wouldn't take any shit from anyone when it comes to their overseas territories. The British are probably far too diplomaic on these issues and should take a harder line.

FACT: The Falklands have currently a mere 4 flights a month to South America they can book seats on.
FACT: The Falkands have 10-TEN- flights a month they can use seats on to Europe ALSO 2 wide bodied direct AirFreight flights a month from Europe.
FACT: The Falklands Govt has an alternative option to put in place if really needed should Arg bully Chile into dropping the current Lan flight.
FACT- We are not quaking in our boots and quite frankly - “bring it on- cut the flight - as it will get Arg NOWHERE”.
FACT: If the flight is cut then The Islands will accept that the 1999 Agreement has been torn up by Argentina and we will reintroduce our total ban on Arg Passports which will mean NO next of kin families/war veterans etc will EVER be able to vist the graves/battlefields unless they have another passport and can afford to travel all the way via Europe.
Do please tell me - WHICH Nation stands to loose the most?
Oh and yes all us Islanders on here are masters of our own words - we live in a democracy!

76AW - just that so many Arg writers on here live in this fantasy world where everything they say must be the truth and hard fact because and Arg said it! - your new Ambassador in Washington is a prime example! Why on earth with all the solid evidence and beliefas you claim to have - dont you just take the issue to the Int Court - Why Not?
Dec 28th, 2011 - 01:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0Sergio- I agree, the Chilean statement is carefully and cleverly worded! To clever for some I expect!
Marcos the position of Chile has ALWAYS been very clear - public support for Arg at the UN/OAS etc - and little more.
Tell me what name do you see on the flight departure board in Punta Airport on a saturday?
Which Govt departmet does Lan communicate with before and during the flight for all the normal International procedures?
Whose flag do you see openly displayed in several bars and restaurants in Punta Arenas?
What Country Name do Chilean Govt Deptartments address export paperwork to for exports to the Falklands (air and sea)?
Islander, the time is over! How many times are you gonna see this flag in Chile?, 2 good news, now the flight the Chile from FI WILL BE CANCELED, NO MORE ST HELENS AIRPORT!
Dec 28th, 2011 - 01:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0Kippers - keep taking the tablets, St. Helena airport hasn't been built yet, and its on St. Helena, not the Falklands. When it is built, with the present spec, the runway will be too short for civilian flights to the Falklands. Military flights on the other hand ...... !
Dec 28th, 2011 - 01:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0As for Chile. They have a history of saying one thing, and doing something else. Much like Brazil in fact. Which is why the oil exploration has continued unimpeded.
Now if the Islanders can get their deep water port built, they'll have almost no need at all to stay in touch with the neighbours.
How sad, to see these uneducated indoctrinated deluded children tear apart the south American continent,
Dec 28th, 2011 - 02:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0They know not, that supporting a known bully will reflect badly on them and drag them down with Argentina,
CFK must be congratulated, in uniting all these deluded followers to Argentina’s, deluded claims, for she is going to ruin everything for her deluded dreams, by bullying and cohering others to do her dirty work, if it all goes well and Argentina gets them back without a fight, she can congratulate herself, and her allies,
But if it all backfires and ends up in a violent conflicted, then South America may yet like to regret their actions,
For rather leading them to victory,
She may well be leading them to hell,
All decisions have consequences,
As the world may very reluctantly find out,
Just a thought .

Dec 28th, 2011 - 09:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Probably itwould happens:
When you become an argentina citizen (of course at your will ;) ) if you import something from other country you must pay taxes of import-
Argentina want to audited those fligths, because RIGTH KNOW, Chile recognize our rigths on Malvinas...and is our rigth to collect taxes-
So: Chile can{t say NO; because their recognize our rigths.
Probably you say NO: you don´t want to pay any tax to Argentina.
So is possible you cancell by your own the fligths...you understand that?
BUT; if the countries recognize our rigths...we can collect same taxes by customs agreements in every country you want to use for sail or fligth to the islands....WHY?....because they recognize those islands as ARGENTINIAN LAND-
Regards-
British, go home. Give us back our land!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No you can't. Flights from the UK via Ascension Island? No, I don't think so. If the Lan flight stops and we put in a flight to Miami.....no, no taxes for you.
Because that's not the way it works. You don't pay tax when you leave a country unless it's a tax for using the airport. You don't get customs people searching bags in a departure terminal. You pay tax on imported goods at the point of entry. What are you going to do? Have customs officials at every connecting airport?
I don't normally comment on people's spelling, but it's fliGHT, riGHT etc.

My family are 9th Generation “Falkland Islanders”. We are here by choice and wish to remain on the FALKLAND ISLANDS. As I have said before there is no negotiation on our sovereignty. We are British and wish to remain so. The only thing that Argentina would accept is total subjugation of a nation.
Dec 29th, 2011 - 04:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Discussions are not a one sided thing and it is quite right the the British government will not enter into a dialogue with Argentina unless WE wish to do so. The whole talks would be stymied before they even start as there will be no compromise from either side, and quite rightly from a Falkland Islands point of view.
If you wish to see the flag that my children were born under and I am unwilling to sacrifice - http://flagspot.net/flags/fk.html
What a brilliant move!
Dec 29th, 2011 - 05:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0When huge amounts of oil start flowing from the Falkland oil fields, guess what flag the tankers will be flying?
South America can kiss cheap Falkland oil goodbye.
102 your people were the representatives of a European colonial power who terrorized half the planet.This empire has refused people from the South American mainland the right to live in part of the continent.The World is changing power is moving away from Europe every day.You people would be very wise to sit down to open negotiations with Argentina now because beleive me if you dont the City will sell you out in the next ten years
Dec 29th, 2011 - 06:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What ever may, or may not, have happened in the past, it is now argentina that is doing the terrorising. The south atlantic is not inherently a part of south america.
Dec 29th, 2011 - 06:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Power has been moving away from europe for the last century, not towards south america though.
What terrorizing are you on about.I dont see any violence but a boycot by South Americans against a colonial anachronism they hate.
Dec 29th, 2011 - 06:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Obviously you havent seen Brazil has just become the Worlds sisth biggest economy and Argentina in 2011 will be one of the fastest growing countries on Earth.Well i suppose if you want to be blind be blind but its happening like it or not
Can the Argie posters answer these two questions?
Dec 29th, 2011 - 07:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you have regional support then why are the two following events occurring?
1) There is an FI flagged vessel in Uruguay (I thought they were banned)

2) The Leiv Eiriksson drilling platform is steaming towards Brazil after leaving Cape Verde
http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shipdetails.aspx?MMSI=740352000
Is this economic engagement with the FI the exact opposite of what you are being told by your leadership? The evidence is above if you care to take your head out of the sand.

Dec 29th, 2011 - 07:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0BRUNO EUGENIO TECAY RAILEF,Adopting this position our government against the flag of Falkland is the best thing is a fact. Whether the Falklands, in addition to paying poor wages, along with Trafficking in Chileans, to carry Slave Labor. No rights to defend themselves from abuse and discriminated costante made by “local” or kelpers, to the Chilean is an outrage. Aside from being racist, even that environment is perceived in the Catholic Church itself or Stanley Stanley as they call the English pirates. Now, with respect to which they determine their own autonomy, not who could believe so gross and crazy statement.
Dec 29th, 2011 - 09:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Since those who rule and give orders are from London. In today if Malvinas, is a poor island where a few wealthy and live well. But they do not say how many Indonesians or Phillipine Slavs or Peruvian desert to reach the boats and swim to the islands of ill-treatment products of the captains and ship owners, among these include a number of Chileans at the point of lies have been Rich indeed, even causing any harm to society. The other thing I could salvage, is that the Chileans who live in the Falklands are 100 times poorer than in their own Country. Many of them come to lie to Punta Arenas, saying they live in heaven, and when you go there, you realize that leasing go and do not have to eat. For example, I work for IFCM ° and I can say that at the Lookout Lodge, meals and if they gave NO ate something, but it went Peeling the premises. Icluso met a Migge Name Chilote Chest, according to the head crazy, he's English, then, just wondering what kind of world are we?, If he is from Punta Arenas and has familiaaqui this animal.

Mirror effect.
[but a boycott by South Americans against a colonial anachronism they hate.]
So that’s ok then,
But what if the British in return boycotted Argentina,
Then you and other indocronoughts , will be among the first to call us imperialist
Just think of the abuse we would get,
Yet alas, its ok for Argentina to break international law [is it not]
As they seem to be a law unto themselves,
And very soon, others will follow their example and also do what they want, then you will have chaos,
And all because the UN wont put Argentina in its place.
Over 100 comments on this subject and we are still british. A billion comments won't change it either. 1000 years won't either. Get used to it Argentina we are Proud to be British and more proud to be Falkland Islanders living our dream in a democratic way we chose to live.
