    Reading comments from Argentines on other forums, they are embarrassed by this rent-a-mob. It does nothing to improve the reputation of Argentina. Shame.

    Nothing to stop you going there. So go!

    Imperial UK? Oh, I wish, dogsbreath.

    Actually, based on its record, Argentina is one of the most CRIMINAL countries in the world. Invasion, conquest, genocide, state murder, drug-dealing, prostitution, ordinary murder, theft. You have it ALL!

    It's a rent-a-mob very easily called up by CFK. Wait about 6 weeks when everyone is back from vacation to see REAL mobs against CFK. It is hot, people can't afford to run their a/c, didn't get their xmas bonus, provincial employees getting sacked and missing their pay, taxes going up 30-40-5-0% in some areas, nat. gas, water, electricity, diesel, gas for cars all going up and in some cases over 300%! AND a lower peso every day so all the imports (what's left on the shelves) are costing more too.

    Their “boom” is ending and they all know it. It is going to get really ugly shortly.

    The same radical nationalism was defeated in 1982. People don`t understand they`re being used for. The 1982 war produced the democracy return in Argentina but was very sad to see the “Madres de Mayo” cheering in front of a Dictator. Don`t do that again.

That's why they are limited imports BCRA doesn't have the U$ to pay the trade differential. You can not go below 39B without causing a run on the peso.

    Farklands/Malvinas a really convenient topic in dispute for both countries, for Argentina a good excuse for hide increasing inflation, desocupation on rise and rampant corruption in the state, and for England just in the worst moment in there rellationship with Europe, social unrest for the desocupation high level. Burn flags in a front to Embassy its a message to the “babarian” people, al of them shall be prosecuted its a serously offense. Calm down “ches” ! What its the F* idea ?? does the same like in Iran o something ?? Its a really shame act.

    Well, if that is what they call a demonstration: a 100 Marxists Socialists with a match between them then Argentina is in a worse state than I thought.

    Given all the rhetoric forced on us by the Argie blogger, many of them adolescent children by the standard of their education, I would have thought 100 times that would have bee a minimum (that's 10.000 for all you apoplectic Argies).

    It's a good job were are not Muslims or there would be more bombings and murders than presently occur.

    CFK and her rent-a-gob mob have sown the wind: I only hope she has to reap the whirlwind.

    We were often told by argie bloggers, that flag burning by the people,
    Was the past, under a dictatorship,
    We have grown up since then,

    2012-01-21 yes they have done it again
    3rd world status, another dictatorship
    Burning the union jack for the world to see,
    [Argentina]
    Not only have you gone backwards, you have now shown the civilised world that nothing,
    Absolutely NOTHING has changed in 30 odd years,
    You are still the same old indoctrinated deluded people , that you ever were,
    And other people that support you from Afar are just as bad as you,
    You are nothing short of a degrading disgrace of a civilised nation that lies and deceits it way around the world,
    You care not for the poor, or the innocent or even the disadvantage, all you care about your own greedy selfish deluded piety,
    A bloody disgrace of a modern democracy,
    The Falklands are British
    They will remain British,
    And if we wish to send our military their, it is none of your business,
    Why o why is this planet always cursed with idiots and dictators, every so often you get a loony bin that want everything others have, and is willing to not only spill blood to get it, but are willing to drag others into the fight,
    Those who support you, on here like other bloggers who hid from afar spouting their encouragement to you, are as disgraceful as you,
    Either stand up, like a man and take them
    Or act like a mouthy cowards
    And frack off .

    I am British and I believe the Falklands should be handed back to the Argentinians, we colonised them, David Camerons statement about Argentine trying to be colonialists is rediculous, he is just trying to taint the Argentinians to gain money from the oil for our country. He manipulates everything he says to justify anything he does which is usually down to money for our goverment. Burning of our flags is hardly barbaric, when we are occupying their country, what are they supposed to do? Celebrate?? Someone made a comment, you and who's army, about the Argentinians, now that is just bully talking, yes we have more power at the minute than Argentine, but sooner thann later everyone will turn against us Brits, and the US and then we'll be us **it creek. We all need respect for one another, I have read some trully appalling comments from British people and yes a few from Argentinians on here, but at the end of the day it is really their territory, not ours. How on earth can we claim ownership of a land thousands of miles from the UK, ok many of the people who live there are claiming to be british, but only through colonial ancestry. We need to at the very least share the natural resources with the Argentinians. But my personal opinion is that we should give them 100% of the natural resources but let the British who have grown up there keep be able to have the local nationality as their own, but I despute even whether that should be classed as British as half of them havn't even stepped foot in the UK, so why should they even be called British they are really Argentinian, and I know lots of people will be outraged at me suggesting this, but the fact is, the country should never have been British in the first place, ok its not the innocent people who have been raised there's fault, but it is their ancestors fault due to colonialism. There is no other argument in my eyes, we claimed it because of colonialism and now are simply claiming it for the oil, simple as!

    Thanks Mr senior..but if it is for the resources...well(oil)(may be not much).We can have the british take for a reasonable period,may be 25-30 years,and give may be 60%...But they have to agree that after that period they will leave for good....Is it fair enough??

    @58 D Senior,
    You don't live here so thankfully your stupid opinion doesn't count.
    l think you need to read a few history books before you embarass yourself any more,
    Perhaps you would like to “sit & negotiate” the transfer of your house to a foreigner who falsely “claims” it.
    You are either:-
    1) An Agent Provocateur.
    2) A politically correct self-loathing, appeaseing, spineless Briton(similar to Neville Chamberlain)
    3) An Argentine

    From the nonsense you have written I only hope your offspring (D minor perhaps) is no such an imbicile as you.

    58 D Senior----- No, you’re not British who do you think you’re kidding? You probably have never set foot in Britain. I am not outraged by your assumptions, as you’re not British just some silly little Argentine who now lives far away from his motherland.

    To 60 Isolde: I am Sorry but I am a citizen of this earth so my opinion does count, and because I am British, unlike yourself, unless you were actually born here in the UK then in my opinion you are not a true Brit. Sorry. I never said anyone should give up their homes only that the Brisish government should give back The Falklands natural resources, to natives who's ancestors have livedd there for thousands of years. Yes I have looked in many history books and do know exactly what I am talking about. My first career was actually a Historian, so I am quite sure you won't be able to out wit me on that subject. I have studies History from historians from alll over the world, not just from the often fabricated westernised historians works.
    1) I am not an Agent Provocateur, I mean what exactly do you think I am trying to trick you to do exactly? Do you really know what an Agent Provocateur is??
    2) I am not interested in being politically correct whatsoever (the childish comment about beinhg self loathing I am not even going to comment on other than saying I quite like being me and am very proud of my family especially my children). I am far from spineless and my comments show this as I am never scared to go against thye grain if it means standing up against bullys (I am not relatinbg that to this argument I am just stating a fact) 3) As mentioned above I am British through and through, the furthest my recent heritage is from England is my Grandfather who was Scottish. So that also rules out number 4 and 5. I am affraid that one day you will infact loose this country to the Argentinians, simply because once the natural resources have beeen depleted Britain will not care anymore about protecting it. And by then Britain will probably have less power than south American anyay. Thats not me being anti British, I am British, it is just me facing facts, as should everyone else. Until we all become one nation and nationallity doesn't matter so much, wars will continue.

    Thank you 58 D Senior!
    Your comments are some of the fewer civilised and more educated on here. I mean 61 ChrisR, what the hell kind of comment is that? Do you really expect any educated person to respond to that with any intelect. I mean the only thing they could do is insult you back if they wanted to reply to that, which makes it totally pointless to have our opinins posted at all, if all were going to do is insult each other what is the point in posting anything,if you have a genuine argument to raise then at least raise it in the correct manner and have a genuine argument , not just imature insults.

    Hi 64 Evelyne!
    I just happen to be online right now, I dont know whether you will recieve this no ,or even at all, but I appreciate your comments. Thank you, where abouts are you from, not that it matters too uch to me where a person is from, I was just currious if you are Argentinian, British or, born i the Falklands. I totally agree and you have answered ChrisR for me, however 62 Britishbulldog, as mentioned above to 60 Isolde, I am actually British through & through. I do believe with an I.D. like BrithsBulldog that you are British, or at least wish that you were, Although because of your comments you have totally discredited yourself as your insults are very childish and don't really warrant an answer from anyone, however since you have been so imature and childish, I will answer you by saying this. Anyone who calls himself BritishBulldog is more than likely a total racist, uneducated and full of tatooes, I guess one on your left knuckles saaying “MUM” and one on your right Knuckles saying “DADDY”, or the other way around, anyone who insults someone by there nationality as you tried too by saying “you silly little Argentine” is not the most brainy person in the world and more than likely with your screen name, as i've already said “A Racist”. I am British trough and through, from yorkshire. I am sorry to nsay that, we are slowly loosing this country tot he rest of the world. It is slowly becoming so multicultural that the white british will be the minority. By the way I am a white British, I am just being honest to the racists who think that us white race own the planet, we not only don't anymore owsn the plannet but also don't even own the UK anymore, sorry folks. Our country is soon becoming international and will one day just like the US be rulede by a none white prime minister, but don't worry us whites will still get a say, we will get an equal say as everyone else does. Good Day Mr BritishBulldog or Mr wanna be British. Take Care. x x

    Well if you’re an historian then you will know that the Falkland Islands were not inhabited at the time that we British settled there. On the other hand being as so could historian you knows that for thousands of years that the country that is now called Argentina WAS inhabited by true South Americans. Perhaps it’s those people you are on about that Argentina should give back the lands stolen from them. Nope sunshine you’re not British by any means.

    As Abraham Lincoln said. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

    As Abraham Lincoln said. You may deceive all the people part of the time, and part of the people all the time, but not all the people all the time.

    58 et al D Senior / 64 Evelyine

    D Senior, the so called 2 generation Scot who cannot write in the correct English grammar and is clearly masquerading and is of some other nationality, I suspect Argentinean. I thought D Minor (a minor musical scale based on D was quite amusing). I also thought, given your imbecilic post that Imbecile was quite accurate. I take it back: Lying Imbecile is far more accurate.

    Evelyine. Nice name. Haven't been on here long have you? The Argies abuse the Brits out of all reason other than their indoctrination by the state from school time: Pratt-Junta (an Argie) asked me 'have you had your two doses of Argentino semen (up your arse today). How would you like that?

    If you want to insult my 'intelect', please make sure you spell it correctly: it's intellect. Have a nice day. :o)

    Mr Bulldog, if you look back at my comments it is the native south americans that I am refering too when I say we should give them back the natural resources owed too them, they are the Argentinians that I am refering too, not the Spaniards. And yes Abraham Lincoln was rignt to say “ Better remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. ”You may decieve all the peolpe part of the time, and part of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time”. But the first statement here is I find the most relevant. And to me quoting famous words from others tells me that a person is obviously not so confident that their own words are powerfull enough to establish what they are trying to say with enough strength. I much prefer to use my own words and noit hide behind others.I find that to be far more boldand, and one can not then be as easily be acussed as being spineless. Next time you speak check what you are saying and at least read what you are replying too first, before assuming the wrong thing. everyone with any knowlege of history knows the story of America, but let me ask you this, do you know the histiry told by the British, the Spaniards, the Dutch, the French, the German, the Apachie Indians, thye Inca's the Africans from Ginea, the Africans from Ghana, the africas from middle Africa etc., etc.. etc... because I suspect you have only leart the history from one of these nationsa and not the views and archives from multiply nations, as a modern historian should study, these days racism through history is a very ignorant thing and we have to look at history from all sides of thge world and not Saying I am not British is very silly and nieve, where abouts are you from? Barnsley/Goole or Burnley? I guess you are from one of these place or close by to one of these places otherwise a place that is similar to one of these places with a high BNP presence. Good night!
