Mar 01st, 2012 - 04:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0British aid analysis:
Mar 01st, 2012 - 05:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0To Argentina=we refuse your ships
To India=we don't need it and we won't buy your Typhoons
To China= their economy is much larger than UK and booming.
To Ireland(bail out)=country that separated from UK, removed the monarch and refused to join the Commonwealth.
Chancellor George Osborne says “The British Government has run out of money because all the money was spent”
I can't think why, keep the good job Brits! one of this days you will beg Argentina on your knees to take Malvinas back :-)
Marcos, You are a pratt! We dont send it unless it is asked for. When india said “no” then ok no problem you deal with the filthy streets (you been to india/ its a shit hole).
Mar 01st, 2012 - 05:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0You dont want the EU aid, then fine no problem! Im sure all tax payers in Europe will be very happy to have their money back.....can you send us achegue please. Friggin monkey!
All nations that receives “aid” should stop receiving them.
Mar 01st, 2012 - 06:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Those so called “EU aid” aren't charity, they are in reality loans, created from nothing and lend against high interest rates. People must understand, the world bank is an arm of the US federal Reserve, bank of England and the ECB (what is more Germany). Those aid are loans, and making loans they make money, no matter what. If you stop those loans, you can break those organizations who are your true enemy.
India made sense when they said..screw your aid. Argentina can and should do the same thing, since they also can create their own credits.

Mar 01st, 2012 - 06:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0I agree 100%!
what loans or aid have Argentina ever offered third world countries???? If you dont want our handouts dont take them! go somewhere else for a loan ..maybe IMF...oh no you defaulted that.. the US oh you owe them billions...your running out of people to give you aid or charity sad really.
Mar 01st, 2012 - 07:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder if F.CK has asked the poorest people if they would like British aid stopped.
Mar 01st, 2012 - 08:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0At least it gives the EU the chance to consider who it trades with. If this aid was going to poor children's education while KFC buys new shoes and gets involved in property deals.. then I think this is pretty low.
Mar 01st, 2012 - 08:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0If these loans are going on education, are we paying to educate them about Gaucho Rivero and their 'Malvinas War' nonsense?
”Baroness Ashton said EU aid schemes for Argentina were part of financial programs supporting education and ”people at the poorest end of the spectrum“
Mar 01st, 2012 - 09:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well am all for supporting people at the poorest end of the spectrum, so long as we can catagory say yes the money is getting to them and not being swindle by corrupt governments - But paying for education in argentina? Great so now where paying them to indoctrinate the very poor people that the aid was meant for!
@10 haha, yeh, we're paying 'aid' to indocrinate Argentinian kids about 'Las Malvinas' nonsense. It doesn't get any more ironic and self-defeating.
Mar 01st, 2012 - 10:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0Baroness Ashton: “EU aid schemes for Argentina were part of financial programs supporting 'las malvinas indocrination' for people at the poorest end of the spectrum“
Mr. V. Average: ”Hmm... I love the smell of irony in the morning”
Giving aid to starving Argentines is not going to stop the RG government teaching the very same kids the malvinas march when they start primary school. If argies want to watch their children starve that is a matter for them, not for the EU. I know it's hard but we have to toughen up and accept thats the way of the 3rd world.
Mar 01st, 2012 - 10:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0@12 I'm all for Aid for Education. But you wouldn't give Aid money to Somalian schools just so they can teach the March of Al Queda, and you shouldn't really be doing it in this case either. The least they should give you in exchange for free money is a modicum of respect.

“India made sense when they said..screw your aid. Argentina can and should do the same thing, since they also can create their own credits.”
UK aid to India is for those people that are neglected by their own Government, what small a mind you have.
And India is saying to buy the Typhoon they want the technology as well, bad luck on that, we'll sell it to their enermy and see all the inferior French fighters they bought instead getting shot down, snigger snigger.
Brits not only occupied India, they shipped its people like cattle all over the world for cheap labour. I wonder why Indians aren't more grateful for all the wonderful things that Britain did for them...
Mar 01st, 2012 - 04:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe UK can make re-payments for the wealth they took from India.
Well this doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out, an economy growing by 8% receiving aid from an economy in decline? :-))
@17 Today, in the middle-east, they're shipping indians all over the middle east like cattle for cheap labour. Today, I wonder why Indians aren't more grateful for all the wonderful things that the Middle East Countries did for them.
Mar 01st, 2012 - 04:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0TODAY!!
Maybe you're just in the wrong room, and should be in Middle East chat barracking them about their addiction to indian neo-slavery, rather than just talking in historical terms about things the british may or may not have done.
The only thing that grew by 8% in the last year was Fat Nestor Jr's waistline, and not the real argentinian economy.
Every day it is harder and harder to claim that Argentina threatens the people living in Malvinas. Everyday it is HARDER AND HARDER to be dishonest for the media about Malvinas and about Argentina's attitude, diplomacy and peaceful intentions.
Mar 01st, 2012 - 06:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Cheers for those who defend HUMAN RIGHTS, PEACE, DEMOCRACY, TRANSPARENCY at the media.
Cheers for this Government we have today in Argentina that has found the way to take our claim to the world with a peaceful attitude!
Cristina offering THREE in stead of TWO flights a month to Malvinas is a real demonstration that all this HEADLINES that include the word THREATEN are giving readers nothing serious.

Mar 02nd, 2012 - 02:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0Today, at the Argentinian National Congress there was a special guest during CFK speech. His name is Baltasar Garzón, the spanish judge that was sent to trial this same february 2012 in Madrid by the Popular Party, by those conservative spanish right-wingers that hate the fact that this man dedicated his work to investigate crimes during Franco's dictatorship. Because he did so much for Human Rights...
Tell me, how comes that you can relate a Government like this one with fascism?? I would like you to say something with strong fundaments..
How can you relate fascism with a Government that has supported same-sex marriages and made it real in Argentina? Tell me... I will be waiting for a serious answer.
On the other hand, I DO see fascism at some “developed” societies that nowadays, The European Union, for example, is showing how unfair the union between european countries was done.
Greek, spanish, italian congress voting what Merkozi impose...
I get the impression that sooner or later they are gonna start speaking german at their Parliaments.
And if you don't like fascism, I like it less than you, that's why I don't accept a country invading another one, that's why I do not accept the antidemocratic Security Council at the UN, that's why I do not accept BBC or FOX News lies...
Argentina has never had such a freedom of speech like it does nowadays, and it was not easy to get to this point, that's why you read me celebrating CFKs right choices. Argentina has never had this economic sustainability.
You wanna go on believing everything they say... go on... get $tupid.
read this on another post made me chuckle....

Mar 02nd, 2012 - 10:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0YOU are so ignorant it beggars belief, there were only ever a few thousand British in India and it said that if each Indian picked up a few grains of sand they could easily bury the British. The British made alliances with Indian Moguls which stopped them fighting each other, (yes some say a glorified protection racket) but they got a lot out the arrangement e.g. a railway network they haven’t altered since, a very good education system that delivers a vast number of graduates, a very effective military, that recognises the importance of the British influence, etc. etc. But unfortunately they have a class system that leaves people at the bottom, which their government doesn’t care much about. It is these people that the British give aid to.
Also like in Argentina the nationalist took control and held India back for decades, only recently changed because of pro-British entrepreneurs in Mumbai
No you certainly aren’t a rocket scientist and you don’t know much about economics either, China, India rely heavily on the west buying their produce and Brazil selling it’s natural resources to them, all of which would stall, but for western demand.
As for shipping Indians being shipped around the globe, they wanted go to escape abject poverty.

Isolationism doesn’t work
@32 Redcoat: “Isolationism doesn't work”
Mar 04th, 2012 - 08:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0At least political isolationism works for Cameron, integrating to the democratic international organizations or forums to discuss the Malvinas conflict wouldn't work for him and the few lazy bankers monarchists and colonialists that support him... After all the last thing they wanted to happen is to have Malvinas conflict in the mouth of different world leaders... who can sustain this “self-determination” excuse?? It is not serious , they know it, they want the conflict to go back to shadows so that they can go on GRABBING SouthAmerican resources...
And appart from this... Argentinian Government never suggested isolationism, they suggested to replace british imports for another ones...
That is not isolation, and apart from this trading with the UK has never been a win-win deal for undeveloped countries... It has usually been selling non-manufactured products to the UK and buying expensive manufactured products or services to the UK.
@33 fermin
Mar 04th, 2012 - 09:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As always, you pervert any meaning to suit your obsessional argument.
Read the posts properly, isolationism here, is some are saying, Argentina can just export itself out of its problems, but if it doesn’t buy or hasn’t got trade agreements, you only get rock bottom prices for your goods and that has been proved time and time again.
Hence isolationism doesn’t work.
But no doubt I’m wasting my time writing this to you, as Britian is anything but isolationist
@34 Redcoat: thanks for calling me pervert.
Mar 04th, 2012 - 09:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe I am stupid, but I still don't know what isolationist has to do with Argentina.
Isolationist could be for example the UK position at the European Union...
what would have happened if the UK hadn't stayed isolated from the Euro currency?¿? I suppose that isolationist was right, but Argentinian isolationist is wrong...
I remember seeing a documentary about the building of the eurotunel to connect London to Paris and there were english protesting, claiming KEEP BRITAIN AN ISLAND :D
isolationist is a very vague word to talk so specifically... it is not good or bad in itself... it depends on the context.
@35 fermin

Germany has the giant Euro millstone round its neck, it will be lucky to survive. China only sells to the Middle East those things we don’t make. Who cares about SA they need our markets.

Trumped up little Argentina they will say. Ha Ha Ha.
