Dressed as rugby players, Argentine lobbyists plan third visit, next April

Mar 13th, 2012 - 10:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ah yes, the group which announced their arrival to the argentine press by weeping over the fact they were like “Nelson Mandela extending forgiveness to the pushers of Apartheid” and whining how the islanders had to earn forgiveness for not wanting to be part of a failed third world fascist shithole, before arriving on the islands expecting the islanders to be fawning over them and treat them like royalty, and presuming they were allowed to abduct local children for propaganda purposes.

This story is rather sad. While there isn't much detail about what was inappropriate there's nothing above that indicates the rugby players were being dastardly either.
Mar 13th, 2012 - 10:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It simply highlights how the CFK government has antagonised the islanders so much that it would be difficult for any Argentine, whatever their intent, to form any type of relationship with the islanders.
This is the fruit of the seeds sown by your president.
If they are desperate to promote rugby, maybe a game could be arranged against a team from MPA, who I am sure would give them a good game. Otherwise I cannot see the point of their visit
Mar 13th, 2012 - 11:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The website refers to the Islas Malvinas........that is a major,MAJOR mistake.The Islas Malvinas do not exist.This group should look at that first and then decide if they want to come and why.The Falkland Islands Government do not have to allow them entry either and should be asking themselves why they would want to welcome a group who will not even call the Falklands by thier rightful name ??? Do the people of the Falklands have to accept and tolerate all Argentine abuse ?

This players have more rights then those british illegal aliens occupying Malvinas Argentina, we should start burning boats and deporting the illegal aliens in Malvinas Argentina the same way Australia does with the help of UN.

”Le Rugby Sans Frontières RSF (Rugby Without Borders) is an independent Rugby organisation. We are committed to promoting Rugby where it is most needed, regardless of race, religion, politics or gender and also to raising awareness of the plight of the people we help.”
Are they doing that? Or are they cynically yet another vehicle for antagonising the Islanders purposefully using loaded terms like 'Las Malvinas'? Would they like it if people used incorrect terms for Argentina such as 'Mar Mierda'?
I love rugby, but considering the current CFK-climate, I'm not sure it's appropriate.
@7 No the Islas Malvinas does not exist, even your government have been using maps which have the Falkland Islands listed on them.Even Argentina does not exist according to a recent 'mug'shot , but is refered to as 'Shit Sea'.....now how do you like your country being called by a name given by someone else ?

Mar 13th, 2012 - 11:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0While they may not have been actively engaging in violent behavior against the islanders, they still showed themselves to be utterly arrogant, self righteous, sanctimonious and self important pricks to a man.
They thought it was appropriate to hold press conferences before and after they went, insulting the islanders both implicitly as assuming they were brainless peasants who need “uplifting” and education in being argentine, and explicitly by directly comparing them to the pushers of South African apartheid in need of being forgiven.
And as for their inappropriate conduct, they showed nothing but contempt for the islanders from the moment they arrived, expecting to be fawned over by the population an they presumed they had the right to abduct children out of school to film their propaganda videos, and then acted with prissy self righteousness when they were eventually prevented from doing so.
On the whole they conducted themselves with all the self important, narcissistic and arrogant stupidity you can expect from argentines.
@11 Sure, I'm just wondering who they're helping here, and what plight it is they're fighting for and overall what they're trying to achieve. If they want to have an impact on the Islanders then shouldn't they be lobbying their President-Ghoul rather than agreeing with the use of language, agreeing with the economic blockade and then turning up expecting to shake hands with people?
Mar 13th, 2012 - 11:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0At least Medicine Sans Frontiers do something good for humanity, as compared to Argentines.
Are they flying in on the LAN flight?
What flight are they taking that arrives at MPA on Friday 13th of April?

If that was how they behaved then no wonder nobody wants them back.
I'll amend my position to that this is indicative of how brainwashed the average Argentine is on this topic. Wouldn't surprise me at all that they had no concept of how they were being perceived.

It would surprise nobody if your proposals became Argentine state policy.
Curious that KFC is going to Chile to discuss the LAN flight and also sending a load of not-rugby players over on the same LAN flight to help falkland islanders deal with the shame of being pirates or squatters and 'helping them to beg to be forgiven' for not being a part of some brainwashed nonsenseland that has the collective economic clout of my wallet.

Well Malvinists, the Falklanders say No, thanks :)
Another cynical ploy which has nothing to do with sport. Where in the world in this day and age does anybody think it is reasonable for strange men to go and ply children with sweets and gifts against the wishes of their parents? People rightly get put in prison for that. It's another stupid brainless effort to weasel their way in, no doubt funded by the Argentine government. The caption for the photo says it all. Even by Argentine standards this lot are particularly thick if they still think that people here believe the propaganda.

Mar 14th, 2012 - 12:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Malvinas is not intended to be an insult is like we call our islands, “mar mierda” is a racist derogatory name of my country used by a few drunk British trying to sell a stupid mug in Victory bar.
You and your friend Roger Edwards are looking more ridiculous by the Day, can't stop the change get used to it.
If the circumstances were Argentina and Falklands getting along nicely, then a cultural exchange and promotion of sports would be fantastic, fun, joyous and appropriate.
Mar 14th, 2012 - 12:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0In the current climate of Argentina actively trying to reduce the living standards of the islands through economic and mobility blockades, then 'cultural' exchanges with a political bias are completely inappropriate. They're hardly raising awareness of any issue related to the context or anything of use.
Here be propaganda.

@20 I fail to see how you refering to Las Malvinas which is not the name of the Islands and seen as offensive to those living on the islands is any different to Non-argentinians refering to Argentina as 'Mar Mierda' which is not the name of the Islands and seen as offensive. Why this contradiction, when you don't care about other people's feelings?
Mar 14th, 2012 - 12:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Is being offended something that is only applicable to Argentinians?
Enjoy your Mar Mierda.
@20
Mar 14th, 2012 - 12:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0I agree with you. HOWEVER, don't you think we are just a tad bit responsible? This cause has become an obsession, and I neither support nor brook obsessive people/causes. Forget the Falklands ship ban law, or the UN militarization dossier. Leave aside the flights brouhaha, and the cruise ship fracas...
When something reaches the level where you have local legislators asserting that a cabotage declaration “will be put forward to the parliaments of the entire world”... I'm sorry, but that's when you lose me permanently.
This has reached a ridiculous level. The Kirchnerists, I have always known, have no interest or pedigree in foreign diplomacy, simply because they are individuals who stopped evolving intellectually in the early 1970s, when they were teenagers or barely in their 20s, when many of them were counter-cultures and revolutionaries.
So today they behave like I should behave (given my age), but now they are balding 50 something viagreros.
I'm sorry, but this has reached farcical and twilight-zone levels. I'm afraid I have to hope for something to come from the UK, US, Brazil, EU, Chile, Uruguay... to cool our heels down. I've had enough.

But in all seriousness, the fact he failed to get even the customary “we support negotiations yadayadayada” from Brazil is just embarrassing.
Sad piece of crap spent 5 years trying to set up a “blockade” which fell through in about a week, and which has done nothing but scare away foreign investors, and now his pathetic attempt to win over the UN and make it “ask for negotiations” has failed, he is trying beg the EU for attention
And yet he was the very best argentina could find. How deeply sad.
@26 Yes, I just checked and 'the pirates maps' all seem to have Las Malvinas and Mar Mierda next door. I should probably use a non-pirate map where they use the real names.
Mar 14th, 2012 - 12:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0@28 I think Brazil said they would support Argentinas 'legitimate' claims (but implied not their illegitimate claims). This means Argentina would have to get their claims legitimised before Brazil can support them.

Well i'm guessing I'm missing the vital information but I don't see that a group hug at a war cemetery is that controversial. Remember, we invented Rugby and we brought it to Argentina, it appears to have failed to civilise all of them, they still prefer soccer! But then the same can be said for many parts of Britain. Where Rugby is played, civilisation begins :)

2. Argentina may produce maps that lable the Falkland Islands, Malvinas but I've never seen any atlas or map with anything other than the Falklands on them.
The Argentines think sovereignty can be claimed via name disambiguations. Like everything else Argentine, it's just kookooArgie!

Isn't it interesting none of the Argentine posters actually seem to live in Argentina? Maybe kookooArge is the first?
The fear the Falklands government has is that Argentina are planning an “incident” on the islands and child abuse could be one of their tactics, it was used in the dirty war and the chances are they would use it again.
Mar 14th, 2012 - 02:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0One way around this would be to make a condition of their visit that they wear tags and there movements on the islands are tracked.

What some British in Malvinas are really afraid of is the world seeing their local kids having a great time playing rugby with a group of good men that happen to be from Argentina.

Unlike Argentine policy, we the Falkland Islanders do not use children as a means of spreading lies. It is known that the Argentines do brainwash their children in their schools into believing that our democratic British Country belongs to them. The Rugby without Boarders is another part of that nasty web.
Mar 14th, 2012 - 10:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0I believe that right now is the time for our politicians on the Islands to stand firm and refuse absolutly any known Argentine to these shores especially with the current act of aggression that Argentina has been using against us. 60 Argentines flew in on the last Lan flight taking up valuable cargo space for fresh produce. These same people have been seen camping in our hills. What is their real purpose of the visit.
This is where our administration falls falt on their noses. We the islanders get prosocuted if we show resistance to this behaviour it is not right.
I sugest we tell KFC or Kentucky Fried Chicken that she is that unless she adopts full diplomatic normal trade relations with us and recognises we are British and our rights to determine our onw future we should stop with imediate effect any form of Argentine activity on the Islands.
If this does not happen I fear someone will start something much more aggressive and to be honest I would not blame them.
Go back to where you came from Argentines and for gods sake leave us to live the life we choose.
7 Marcos Alejandro-------- Please be aware that the name Argentina does not exist anymore, we are now calling that country New Britain so from now on please when writing about what you see as your country's issues on the Falkland's Islands please refer to that country as New Britain.
Mar 14th, 2012 - 10:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0Now that we have got that out of the way and as we are now calling, your country New Britain and you now are a subject of HMG you will be pleased to know that everything is resolved over the issue of the Falkland's and as we have been telling you for quite some time there is no need any more to take issue over who owns what as Britain now governs your country New Britain.
We have taken steps to halt the ever expanding inflation rate that has affected your country for so many years, however you will find that because of the incompetence and corruptness of past and present Presidents and Governments of the newly named New Britain you will not for a couple of years see much difference in your life style, however once we begin to see a marked difference please be assured that like your fellow citizens 300 miles away on those Islands you will see a remarkable difference to your wellbeing all we ask is a little patience from you. As the saying goes Rome was not built in a day.
See Marcos Alejandro how friendly we are and we have done all this without the need for bloodshed, which can only be a good thing for everyone. The only people that won’t like our little arrangement are the corrupt President and her cohorts that have been taking from the people of New Britain. We have asked for her return from Venezuela where she and most of her cohorts fled to and Chavez has apologised for the misunderstanding between our countries and has promised to put her back on the next available flight It seems that I was right about country's that have backed you in the past and that they were only paying you lip service. either that or it was the nuclear sub and our very new warship that changed his mind

Actually McClick. You said Rugby was “not know” in Greece. We've just proved your wrong. It is known in Greece - even if not many people are interested (which is something completely different).

Ah, to be a real man, to roll around in the mud with other real men and all jump in the bath together at the end of it all!! This is real sport!! Competition at it's finest!!!
@75 it's a considerably better sport than 'pleb-soccer' where cognitively and economically impoverished people, rather than buying school clothes and food for their children, spend their money on cheap polyester clothing and a seat to watch some other completely uneducated people who they and other plebs have deified to a walking gods, casually kick a ball around for 90minutes, before going out to a club and spending all their money on whores. The plebs then go home and insist their children take these pleb-deities as role-models, which they fail to do, and end up poor... the cycle continues ad nauseum.

Mar 14th, 2012 - 12:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That isn't actually news Brit, it was always the way the UK government tried to play it. All that changed in 1982 because Argentina couldn't keep their flys buttoned up, got over exited trying to distract from genocide, a failing economy and much much more and started a war.
From that moment, everything changed.

As one of the parents that objected on their last visit let me comment:-
Mar 14th, 2012 - 05:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 01, None of them are CRB checked to a Standard I can verify, and that is a legal requirement in FI,
2, No permission was sought from parents, eith for the children to take part or to be photographed.
3, The first visit was politicised and used by Malvinists etc for propoganda, and I have no wish for my child to be so used.
4, Anyone that has to use sweets and presents to attract children is clearly suspect, only Paedo's do that in that fashion.
5, Nothing was announced about their plans or intentions.
6, The whole delegation is argentine, it is clearly not 'Sans Frontiers'.
7, Why is it that their only interest is in the Falklands, they do nothing elsewhere.
8, If I wanted my child to participate in a sport where injury is a possibility, I would wish to know the qualifications of those involved.
9, The Falklands has no need of Argentine sports involvement, come back when your country recognises our right to participate in world sports. Then we might be a bit more accepting.
10, Treat us as EQUALS in the Region, one day we might feel inclined to begin to trust you, but not as long as Argentina persists in its cold war against us.
@92 Nice summary of concerns.
Mar 14th, 2012 - 05:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm still not aware of why they even bother keep going to the Falklands, they don't seem to be doing anything positive considering the current state of affairs and level of brainwashing going on. Considering Argentinians do not see the need to de-politicise sport, e.g. going to London with 'malvinas argentinas' on their shirts, then I can see why there is absolutely no need for this. And why don't they go to a war zone like Somalia? That's where MSF goes.
Is this some attempt to get falklanders to support the argentinians in sport? thereby somehow persuading them to become Argentinian?
The cynic in me says yes.

This soup could not be easier to make. Just saute a few aromatics, boil them in broth with the turnips, puree, and add cream. It's warming and comforting and full of flavor. Serve it as a starter to a larger meal, or as the main event with a winter salad and crusty bread for an easy, casual supper.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
•4 large turnips
•2 small onions or leeks
•2 cloves garlic
•2 Tbsp. olive oil or butter
•Salt
•4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
•1/4 to 1 cup heavy cream
•Turnip greens or parsley (optional garnish)
Preparation:
1.Peel turnips and chop them into small chunks. Set aside.
2.Peel and finely chop onions or clean and finely chop leeks. Set aside.
3.Chop garlic and set aside.
4.Heat oil or butter in a medium pot over medium high heat. Add onions or leeks, sprinkle with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, about 3 minutes.
5.Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
6.Add turnips and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook until turnips are very tender, about 10 minutes.
7.In a blender, whirl soup until very smooth, at least 2 minutes per batch. (Tip: Cover lid of blender with a kitchen towel to prevent burns.)
8.Return soup to pot and add cream. Adding just 1/4 cup will just smooth out the edges of the soup. The more you add the thicker and more luxurious the soup will become. Add salt to taste.
9.Garnish with shreds of thinly cut turnip greens or parsley, if you like. Serve hot.

They desperately need some South African, New Zealand or Australian coaches to teach them how to play the more advanced game.
@100 I'd agree. Haiti would be a nice and arguably quicker trip for them and they could do something for the plight of the local children and help them to learn some Rugby at the same time. At least they know Haiti is called Haiti.
Mar 14th, 2012 - 07:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We shouldn't forget that these people, regardless of sport are propaganda filled from birth about how the Falklands people are worthless and the fact they should be ethnically cleansed or subdued is pretty much written up in their constitution.

Would you see the Kuwaitis accepting a rugby team from Iraq if they had 'kuwait is a part of iraq' shoved down their children's throats every day. Then would it make it any better if the Iraqi national cause was to make Kuwait a part of Iraq. The answer is clearly no.
They don't even refer to them as the Falklands or Port Stanley.
I think that when the visitors are nice and seated like in the photo, then in a spirit in keeping with Rugby they SHOULD ALL BE KICKED IN THE BALLS.

After the swelling has peaked perhaps a contest for 'The biggest balls' could be organised with extra points for the colour of the bruises.
The visitors should then be helped to their plane as part of the daily routine exercise by British Special Forces. After a five mile run and 100 push-ups just to ensure the visitors really understand how the Falklanders (there are no Malvinas) appreciate them coming and hope to see them, never. :o)

Mar 14th, 2012 - 08:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What I'm not getting after watching the Video is that at 6m20s he starts talking about their project called Argentina United, 'un Pase Solidario' he says 'the objective is to send out a message of the unity in our country and to support our national team in order to make a good team work, solidarity work' and at 6min28s there is a map which clearly shows the falklands.
So is this trip a part of their Argentina Unida project? Are they trying to unite the Falklands under Argentina??
I think they need to be a lot clearer about what the purpose of their visit is and what sort of messages they are expressing to their home audience. I'd like to think it isn't malevolent but, you never know with people from there.
The obvious solution to this litle scam the Argentines are trying to do is for our Countries leaders to come of the bench and firmly tell the Argentines in whatever form it takes You are not now or ever going to be welcome in Our Country untill you recognise our right to choose how we want to live and to who we want to share our aleigance with.

It is a pitty that Britain did not listen to us when we requested that the Argentine dead should be returned to that Country and an even bigger pitty that Britain did not take the fight to the Argentine mainland and taught them a real lesson. We all know to well that paper signing for some is never to be trusted and the Argentines were allowed to sign the surrender on an unconditional basis. Should have been set in stone right from the start and maybe today this issue would not be happening again.

He is being investigated and surely will end up in jail where he belongs. Cristinas 2 VERY UGLY children, Maximo and Florencia Kirchner, are also very corrupt. Maximo owns all kinds of hotels and properties adn Florencia is a film student in New York and lives in a luxury Park Avenue apartment and is known for major cocaine use. Some of us who know her in New York remember how she always used to tell us how her parents have a bank account drawn on the Nation of Argentina and for her family money is no object. These 2 corrupt children of Cristina Kirchner are self proclaimed “militants”, they belong to 2 internal terrorist groups which Cristina Kirchner finances, “La Cámpora” and “Quebracho”. “La Cámpora” goes around to the poor shantytowns around the cities in Argentina and gives the poor people a bag of groceries, a sausage sandwich called “choripan” and $20 pesos to buy their votes. These people have no choice but to accept this as they are extremely poor and have no other hope. “Quebracho” is a terrorist group which Cristina Kirchner pays to protect her, they disguise their faces and go around shaking down businesses to get money and give back to the president. They are also responsible for drug dealing, robberies and murders.

Mar 15th, 2012 - 03:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm not aware of what the rugbiers (or some of them) did in 2011, but please rememember that when South Africa still was under the apartheid regime, two divisions (a 1st and a 3rd) of Cardinal Newman College rugby players flew to play a number of matches with local teams, not all of them white.
Mar 15th, 2012 - 04:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This, which was regarded by the 'educated South African leadership' as a breach to their(infamous) apartheid, set the basis for a long lasting relationship between our two countries and Argentina was now invited to play in the 4-nations.
In other words, it is people than can make the difference.

@ 123 If you are a professor, it's easy to understand why the education in Argentina is what it is today.
@ 136 What has South Africa to do with the Falklands and Argentina? hahaha what a loser! Malvinista, sos un pobre tipo. You talk about friendship, but in the inside you don't like the Falklanders, you hate them, but because you don't know what honesty is, you think that people will believe what you say.

Because he seems to be the typical person who jumps aggressively over someone who he thinks is weak or he thinks is in inferior condition than him and easily can be abused. And when he discovers that his mouth is too little to bite resort to victimisation and lies. Is not that enough reason?

“Rugby without Frontiers uses an image of their group hugging at the Argentine Cemetery at Darwin to illustrate the 2011 visit to the Falklands on their website. There is not a rugby ball in sight.”
Mar 15th, 2012 - 05:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You can claim to do one thing, but a person's or organisation's real intentions will always be uncovered in how that that person or organisation acts. If Rugby without Frontiers was not motivated politically why do they use the picture of them at Darwin, without anything to do with rugby in sight? As with anything actions speak louder than words. They are politically motivated and therefore not welcome to our home.
To come to the Falklands you need to respect our way of life and wishes, just like how Argentines claim Islanders will be treated if our home is annexed into Argentina....actions speak louder than words.
Really feel sorry for this exchange of comments. There is nothing wrong with this trip and no need to see ghosts (they aren't). These guys are also the ones that organized the game between Uruguay and Argentina (in the border) in order to collect money and food for chileans after the earthquake. They also work with kids with Down syndrom in Argentina. This has gone too far and dont think they deserve this. Rugby is a sport that teaches loyalty, friendship, humbleness...and this people have all that. Maybe their mistake is to try and promote what they are doing in a way some people dont get it. I feel sorry for this.
Mar 15th, 2012 - 05:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If the group has no motive other than rugby, why will it worry them or any of the Argies if the Falklands politely say “thanks but no thanks”? What's the big deal? If it's only about rugby, we can get our own rugby expertise without any risk of the complications that can potentially come with the Argie visit. You see, I am sure this group may mean well but they have to understand that some of the Argentine public, government and media will exploit such a visit.

Mar 15th, 2012 - 06:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You might be right. Politics might exploit this. Maybe is not the right time to come. Purpose of the visit (I believe) is that sports (in this case Rugby) can put together 2 countires no matter what politicians are doing in the meantime. Also remember these guys are all ex rugby players (even over 40 years...dont think they want to play against trained fm MPA) and not politicians. I just feel sorry that this case went so far, talking abt using kids, etc....

Mar 15th, 2012 - 07:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is a shame if their motives were sincere. Forgive those of us in the Falklands who have our doubts. What is in no doubt however is what the “hangers on” would have done to turn it into a circus for propaganda.
The group doesn't seem to make any effort at meeting us half-way either. They only refer to the islands by the name Argentina gives them. Perhaps they may have tried to be more understanding and thought of a way to avoid using any name but instead they only refer to Malvinas.
I completely understand and share the Islanders deep suspicion of everything Argentine. But this is rugby, a game I love! By all means keep a close eye on the members of the party, but as a rule rugby players, present or former, are not deceitful.

@142 I love rugby too, and the power of sport to change people and create friendships. I also think that cultural exchange at the right time is fantastically powerful. However, can you please explain:
Mar 15th, 2012 - 09:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0a) Why they use terminology that is offensive to Falklands people
b) Whether their Argentina Unido project includes promoting the uniting of the falklands people under the umbrella of Argentina?

In 1982 we have a much more macho government than today, we had a man in charge and no ordinary man, he was a General, from Italy, same country my grandparents came from, fleeing from British and American Imperialists after WW2 (it would take several generations and Berlusconi to put right what they did to Italy).
General Galtieri did not take no for an answer, he sent a great military force with special forces under command of our counter terrorist officers like Captain Alfredo Astiz, who is now in prison and should be freed!
These were the men who removed 50,000 left wing terrorists from our streets and delivered them into the Atlantic. We are proud that they had the guts to do what was necessary.
But today I listen to the BBC and it seems there are more left wing in our nation. I am in The Bahamas at the moment working in hotel so out of touch with my country. It seems all the strong people leave and only weak left remain.
But still there are veterans prepared to attack the police for medals for Malvinas War as they protected Patagonia from a British invasion, they deserve these medals, Police should not keep them from them.
Pirates and Anglos i hate all of you. Even here in the Bahama, have to put up with your Royal family, Prince Harry and the descendants of your Caribbean pirates some of which now Mullatos but others prefer stay white. I myself do not like. Or the children of British colonial pirates!

Could this be because your so called wonderfull government is starving their people because your Country still has no democracy. Furthermore you are sugesting remove us from our Country well let me remind you that is exactly what your powers are like. Same old story your ancestors butchered the natives because you did not want them living there. You are probably the most selfish people that ever walked this planet and the greediest as well. Also you say you are of Italian decent. Why are you living in Argentina because you surely think we should not be here.
I am in no doubt that if it was not for the fact we are such a succesful people and about to exploit the kind of wealth you only dream off your leaders would not give our country a seccond look.
To think we could ever trust your lot again is like taking a red rag to a bull. It simply won't happen. Your leaders have made it very clear they do not recognise us as a people.
Now lets assume for a moment I live in Argentina. A Foriegnor but have desires to own your property and land. Would you simply tell me that I can have it because you took it first from the native Indians. I bet you would not. That is why we are so much differant than you. We settled these islands by choice and never killed any indigenous people to keep it.
That makes us far better people than your lot with out a doubt. We are British we were here first and we intend to say sunshine.

Well you have to pay first is the way its is in modern world.
But in your especial case you are settlers of colonial past times and for that reason “your land” is disputable.
So first you have to declare “your land” as an independent country, then wait until nations recognise you as a new nation. So hurry up you have a lot of work to do.

As a general note, I can see why the islanders would'nt want the Argentinian players to visit them at the moment. They would be a rather grating esxperience to encounter, preaching peace and brotherhood via sport, while their country boils like a thunder head of spite, hatred and jealousy about the Falklanders and their determination to be free from Argentine rule.
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner the current disaster president of Argentina
Mar 19th, 2012 - 11:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0and the other Argentina crooks are her vice-president, Amado Boudou, he is actually an owner of the company that prints money for the government in Argentina, a major conflict of interest, but he denies it, he owns the company in the names of other friends and associates. He is being investigated and surely will end up in jail where he belongs. Cristinas 2 VERY UGLY children, Maximo and Florencia Kirchner, are also very corrupt. Maximo owns all kinds of hotels and properties adn Florencia is a film student in New York and lives in a luxury Park Avenue apartment and is known for major cocaine use. Some of us who know her in New York remember how she always used to tell us how her parents have a bank account drawn on the Nation of Argentina and for her family money is no object. These 2 corrupt children of Cristina Kirchner are self proclaimed “militants”, they belong to 2 internal terrorist groups which Cristina Kirchner finances, “La Cámpora” and “Quebracho”. “La Cámpora” goes around to the poor shantytowns around the cities in Argentina and gives the poor people a bag of groceries, a sausage sandwich called “choripan” and $20 pesos to buy their votes. These people have no choice but to accept this as they are extremely poor and have no other hope. “Quebracho” is a terrorist group which Cristina Kirchner pays to protect her, they disguise their faces and go around shaking down businesses to get money and give back to the president. They are also responsible for drug dealing, robberies and murders.
