The apparent change in Argentine policy towards the Falkland Islands by offering three direct flights to the Islands from Buenos Aires instead of cutting the air link with Chile, as had been anticipated, was described by Chilean diplomatic sources as “an attempt to collect international support and look less mean”.

    @2 They didn't betray the UK in the Falklands War, that's just an urban myth. Everyone was selling weapons to the Argentinians, including the British who sold them naval craft.

    The french gave us the codes to the missiles they sold them. Sadly that didn't work so well. They also tried to re-buy all the missiles off the market in their defence.

    Suggesting the French were bad, when the Israelis were sending missiles, training and other military equipment to the dark side during the war is just you Argies trying to change history again.

    I assume that relates to French exocet technicians remaining in Argentina to prepare the five air to surface missiles they already had?

    France was stuck between being a trusted arms exporter and supporting the UK against a despot.

    It was covered in Nigel West's book “The Secret War For The Falklands”

    “”France was stuck between being a trusted arms exporter and supporting the UK against a despot.“”

    By this statement I take it you are defending France's treachery?
    But then perhaps you didn't know that France had pledged it's support in maintaining an arms embargo on argentina.
    I suggest you listen to the BBC tonight and you might enlighten yourself

    France didn't betray the UK, in fact it was possibly Britain's biggest ally (apart from USA of course) during the conflict. France worked hard to help the UK after realising the mistake it made with Argentina prior to the conflict.

    It provided the UK with fighters to train against and also secret information on the Exocet missiles.

    The UK has forgiven the French for selling Argentina weapons and moved on.

    Thatcher labelled Mitterand one of her most important allies during the conflict. It should be noted that none of the air to surface exocets actually detonated on impact - they just behaved like an artillery shell but with fuel to burn too. Whether that was related to the French technicians I don't know. If they had detonated their explosives the Sheffield and Atlantic Conveyor would have sunk much more quickly.

    LOL
    I suggest you stop now before you make a yourself look silly because it was AFTER it became a apparent that the exocets were faulty that France sent down technicians to fix them which means that France sent those technicians to Argentina AFTER the conflict had started.

    And Mitterand actually called Thatcher an imperialist war monger which says a lot of French duplicity - but then it is their custom isn't it?

    @14,13,12 Best to just ignore the nonsense about the french, they helped us out when it was needed and for that they get a tipping of the hat from me.

    Moving along, judging from what I've seen recently, the Argentinians are clearly trying anything to 'troll' the British. They're desperate to get some kind of emotional response out of us, and some kind of recognition that there is an sovereignty issue in the news. Thankfully the newspapers have failed to print much about all this nonsense and so the Argies in a fit of desperation tried to inject bias into a poll and then claim the British are all anti-falklands. It just gets more and more desperate, and the best we can do is just not rise to it.

    To be fair, I couldn't care less, I just like making the argies blood boil, because it's good sport.

    The fact is, she's gone past the point of no return for putting it onto a even keel. Once you're dipping into the foreign reserves of your central bank, you're not only entering the final stage before the crash, but you're also making no one ever want to deal with your central bank again once it does crash. You cannot even claim that it's an independent entity separated from government control.

    Can someone explain why its claimed that Argentinian agreement is required for flights from Chile to the Falklands?

    Surely the flightpath would go over the Straits of Magellan to reach Punta Arenas? The Straits of Magellan are an international waterway under the Law of the Sea Convention (ratified by the UK, Argentina and Chile), and te Convention allows free passage of ships through such straits AND aircraft over them.

    The Islanders must now realise that the support for them is simply not there. The BBC and the Guardian are running their own polls and they too- in addition to the recent Telegraph survey - have proven to be disappointing, but this has to be expected as Britain is a very different country to what it was in 1982 largely because of the labour Party's determination to socially re-engineer the social structure of the country.
    Immigration into Britain since 1982 is close to 10 million and many of those families have produced offspring who possess much of the same attitude of their parents - in that they have no real sense of identity with Britain, so when the call comes to rally to the flag the first question they ask is ....which flag?
    And the rest of the population to whom the government might appeal for support in any call to arms over the Falklands were not even alive in 1982 so what does it mean to them - at a time when they can't fill their cars with gas or buy the insurance for them or even find a job?
    Why would they support a conflict with south america over a bunch of Islands they were not even aware existed?

    One fictitious poll proves nothing when the poll was over-run by Argentinians as referenced by the comments section. To be honest if the Argentinians were smarter they'd of not left comments that clearly show they massively affected voting but hey-ho they are not.

    If you actually knew anything about the UK, you'd know the Falklands are now considered a national symbol of our identity and given UK lives were lost in the conflict there is about zero chance of this changing.

    Everything else you said is meaningless spam.

    Support for the Falkland Islands IS THERE. Where it matter the most. With the Britsih people and with the British Government. If anyone in power even thought about selling the Falkland Islanders they would be signing their own political death warrants.

    In your niavity the thing you seem to be forgetting is that these days, you can pretty much get a poll to reflect, just about anything. all it takes is a little massaging of the figures, so intelligent people don't take them seriously.

    @ cestrian
    A New York court ruled in favor of Elliot Management Corp.’s NML Capital fund and ordered Argentina to pay interest on its defaulted debt, newspaper La Nacion reported, citing a Feb. 23 ruling.

    NML Capital is what is known as 'vulture' fund - one of many that bought south american debt knowing that the debtor would default thereby allowing the company to take the case to court and force a settlement which involves staged ineterest payments designed never to reduce the principle.
    Most countries in south america now simply ignore the US court decision as they consider them rigged in favor of the complainents charge.
    The same company is alos involved in buying packages of euro debt - greece for example - and this company is alleged to be complicit in a conspiracy with other vulture funds to stall the ECB bailout for greece thus forcing the country to default.
    I know all this because I worked for one. These are parasitical entities run by sociopathic scum who would happily drive an entire population to starvation and death for the sake of quick profit.
    You know - the same sort of mentality that is driving europe to economic catastrophe when instead they should be doing what Iceland is presently doing - dragging those responsible before the courts and jailing them.

    @18 Something that you don't seem to be taking account of is the international borders. You need to look at a map. I have doubts as to whether UNCLOS was formulated in such a way as to enable a civil airline pilot to throw an aircraft all over the sky in order to stay above the Beagle Channel. Equally, an aircraft travelling east from Punta Arenas would, at some stage, cross into argie airspace. To avoid argie airspace, one needs to take into account two factors. The direction of the land border when it reaches the coast and the distance from the coast that the argies regard as theirs. The direction of the land border between Chile and argieland when it reaches the coast is south. And let's say the argies claim to control the waters up to 200 miles from their coast. Roughly speaking, I estimate that an airliner would need to fly 200 miles south from Punta Arenas to reach the coast and then a further 200-250 miles south so that, when it turns east, it could be sure of avoiding argie airspace. That adds 400-450 miles to the route. LAN has the aircraft capable of the flight BUT there must be a question mark over whether the route would be economic. Remember that that is an additional 800-900 miles for each return flight. Looking up flight information, a one-way fare already costs around £500 and the flight takes between 17 and 30 hours depending on stopovers. There's a lot to think about!

    28. The term “vulture funds” is much like “banksters” made up by the media or in your case the gov't to imply they are doing something bad.
    The courts in the USA are well respected and we have the ability to enforce the judgments worldwide. Argentina is very close to losing it's ability to trade in the U$. The US courts can, and most likely will, allow any U$ denominated Arg gov't payments to be used to satisfy the judgments even BCRA funds. It will all be decided this summer in the US Supreme Courts. It will be fun to watch what happens if the case goes against Arg and the reserves are wiped out. Very fun to watch.

    Sounds pretty much identical to Argentina then.

    @30 “a one-way fare already costs around £500 and the flight takes between 17 and 30 hours depending on stopovers.” well a flight to Cape town would be a little more, and would probably only take 8 hours. I don't see why they don't just invest in a plane to fly between cape town and back, it might take a while to pay back, but they could fly to St Helena (in 2014) too and then on to other 'interesting' parts of Africa.

    Start bringing in Eco-tourists from Africa instead.

    The only achievement of the Argentine government is the distraction of the population from the impending financial collapse. The writing is on the wall.

    Nothing else has been achieved. Nothing has changed with regards to the Falklands and nothing will change unless the Islanders wish it. DC has made it perfectly clear that the UK will support the Falklanders and defend them if necessary.

    @21 WOW! Your figures and arguments are really impressive. But, could I ask - if the UK has accepted nearly 10 million immigrants since 1982, and those immigrants have been producing offspring, and people who were already in the UK have also been producing offspring, why has the population only gone from 56,324,000 to 62,026,000? That's only 5,702,000! Perhaps you might want to consider the ethnicity of the UK population. Did you know that 92.14% of the UK population is white? That's “white British”, “white Irish” and “white other”. So only 7.86% of the population “might” be those immigrants you're relying on. Except that the UK has been accepting immigrants from all over for many, many years. Black people, asian people, Indian people, even Chinese people. You could also take a look at the ethnicity of the UK armed forces. Oh, dear, much the same. How do you think the families of those black, asian, Indian and chinese members of the forces are going to feel when the actions of a bunch of south american gangsters forces the British government to send their sons and daughters “down south”? I don't think they're going to be very happy with you! How is your campaign amongst the Scots going? Strangely, I haven't seen any mass public protests in support of your cause. Could that be because one of the units that arrived with the Task Force 30 years ago was the Scots Guards? Or just that the Scots have the same opinion as the rest of us about you dozy lot?

    @32 Of course I hold aces. I believe in freedom, justice and democracy. I support the Falklanders. I'm British. And so is God. There you are - 4 aces. I also have a Queen. You can't beat that without a typical argie trick such as dealing from the sleeve!

    Regardless of what happened in the 1980s, I would guess that France's current position would be behind the UK. Yes, the leaders don't like each other, but remember, the greedy Chavezsphere would undoubtedly LOVE to get its hands on French Guiana in a couple of years. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't France have a territorial dispute with Madagascar over some islands?

    In the end, the Falklands are not only British territory, but they are European territory, giving Europe access to Antarctica and another oil well that isn't in the volatile Middle East. The Falkland Islanders are citizens of the EU because they have British passports and therefore, I'm sure they are protected under various EU treaties. This is most likely why Spain have dropped their support for Argentina. Maybe it's time KFC gave up? Make a new claim to Swaziland or somewhere less capable of defending itself.

    no country will allow a free democracy, to be handed over to a dictatorship,
    so why worry,
    argentina [or its goverment] is just wissing in the wind .

    #28 Spot on. That any ordinary people, as I presume our rightwing posters are, could still support these bastards after everything they've done, to the point of indignation against Cristina for defying them, is really quite depressing, and just shows how out of touch they are.

    #57 I have checked, alarmed at what you were saying as if a nightmanre was coming true by means of coup, death or (least likely of all, given her inner strength) resignation; or even for some significant bad news that could bring forward your long hoped for day. No news on google, nothing on mercopress itself, and nothing but this piece of routine bias in the BA Herald http://www.buenosairesherald.com/article/94765/not-much-magic-left------------------
    You couldn't just be talking about a twisted OPINION piece could you? Or just telling lies...

    Yeah and the macho chest beating of the British nationalists on here shows real inner strength! But theres no need to have an argie bargie about the incidentals of my post, when we can all agree on the essentials; Chris was telling porkies and his near namesake Cris isn't going anywhere =)

    As you are incapable of resolving things for yourself here is the link to the BA Herald: read it for yourself.

    BTW Unlike you I do not lie. I do not have a good enough memory for it and I learnt that when I was very young, about 10 years ols as far as I can remember.

    Ok so it wasn't lies, it was the other possibility I mentioned, jumping to conclusions based on an opinion piece. If I impuned your honor unjustly i apologise; will you do the same for having called me unable to research, yet if you look at #59 I've already flagged up the same article as you!
