Jan 25th, 2012 - 10:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0Brilliant idea for the Falklands (there are no Malvinas).
I wonder if Argentina will come up with their version: a coin showing the life cycle of the Malvinista perhaps? Around the coin edge could be : baby crapping it's nappy, small child being indoctrinated in the fabled Malvinas 'history', teenager with oversize head who thinks it will own the planet on MercoPress blogsite spouting crap. Full circle of crap then. Must be worth 1 Pesos I would imagine.

Jan 25th, 2012 - 12:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Or maybe you could have came up with a coin showing the life cycle of the british in Malvinas:
1.- Pirats expelling the original population and authorities by the use of force.
2.- Populating the islands with british people.
3.- Maintining military presence to remind the world: we came here by the use of force and we´ll stay here as long as we have better weapons that Argentina has, cos clearly we don´t have the right to be here.
4.- A population of the colonizing power believing they have the right of self determination, a concept that was created within the UN Decolonization Comittee to be applied to those original populations colonized by a foreing power (clearly not the case of Malvinas), and a concept that the Institution within which this concept was originated states it cannot be applied to the Malvinas population and therefore calls the only two parties Argentina and UK to resolve the colonial situation not considering the wishes of the imported population.
5.- A UK trying to convince the world Malvinas is not a colony but a self governing territory, when the UN considers Malvinas a particular colonial situation and a Non Self Governing territory.
6.- A British PM lacking arguments, telling stupid statements and increasing military presence in the pacific South Atlantic while the UK is everytime more isolated.
7.- Negotiations for handover? :)
Actually your forgetting a key part of history there Malvinas. Such as:
Jan 25th, 2012 - 12:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 01 - British first settle and claim sovereignty in 1765
2 - Britian leave plaque cementing their claim on sovereignty of the islands in 1776.
3 - Luis vernet seekes permission to set up a commercial enterprise on the islands from the british consolute in regonition of britains sovereignty of the islands.
4 - How viceroyalty of rio del la palto illegally tried to estabish a garrison on the islands in 1832, which resulted in a formal protest from britain in regards to impeding on british sovereignty, which was ignored.
4 - In ignoring Britsh protest, britain sends a warship in 1833 to the islands to reassert their sovereignty on the islands which was accepted by the commander of the illegal garrison and the general pouplation was invited to stay by the british ships captain whilst only the garrison was asked to leave peacefully, which they did.
As for the rest of your drivelling indoctuniated crap... Well if you think your hard enough, come and have another go as we are more than willing to remind you how it feels to get your butts kicked... again.

Jan 25th, 2012 - 03:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, but be fair. The Argies have got more deception, obfuscation, governmental thieving, et al to celebrate. They need big bills to get it all on. :o)
@4 Dental floss: “Britain shoiuld divert foreign aid money to the defence of the Falklands”
Jan 25th, 2012 - 04:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's nice to see that you think the Falkland Islands defences should be reinforced. I wholeheartedly agree. However, I imagine that there is already more capability there than they are letting on. There's probably always a sub prowling around there somewhere.
@2 Islas Malvinas (#) Didnt i recently destroy you in an argument, to which im still waiting for a reply ?......
Jan 25th, 2012 - 04:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Always Good to see the Falklanders celebrating on there Island, HAPPY DAYS!!!
Jan 25th, 2012 - 04:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Long Live the Falklands.
2 Islas Malvinas (#)----- Talk sense lad where the friggen hell is the Malvinas? I know about the Falklands but the Malvinas??????????? Nah never heard of them, they must be a figment of your imagination like you imagine that the Falkland Islands belong to Argentina. You even have a name with the same words what the F*** is all that about I would go to see some kind of Doctor with a problem like that. :O)
Jan 25th, 2012 - 05:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0nice coin
Jan 25th, 2012 - 05:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@8 Hahahha You don´t need to destroy me. If you destory me or not is irrelevant. You should focus on destroying the World that via the UN is asking the UK to put at end to the colonial situation in Malvinas by negotiating with Argentina not paying much attention to yout Beagle Story. :)
Jan 25th, 2012 - 06:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 06 and ill bet little teachers pet you told mummy about all those.diego told you

Jan 25th, 2012 - 07:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0that just proved that the islands were settled by us before you, and that you murdered the sole settler on the island and tried to steal the land. Thats why the voyage of the beagle is important , and destroys any notion of you right to the islands :)
@14 Oh yeah! Look how destroyed it is our rights to the islands that several International Organizations from Latinamerica Africa an Asia, 133 countires + China, the US, the UN, even European some European countries like Spain and Portugal are asking the UK to put an end to colonialism in South America. Very destroyed.

@ Calling Argentina colonialist is absurd and rediculous.
Jan 25th, 2012 - 09:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0CFK called Cameron statements about the pretended “full stop” as bordening stupidity....

Jan 26th, 2012 - 05:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Colonialism- the control or governing influence of a nation over a dependent country, territory, or people.
The islands were uninhabited originally ; they had no native population. The last piece of legislation passed over the control of the islands, was when the islands were ceded to the British by the Spanish.
The islands were invaded by Argentina, and then removed after protest, by the British government .Argentina is now trying to assert her authority over the islands and there population, therefore she is trying to colonize them.Argentina are Colonialists .
