this is going to be the shortest conference in history !!

England 1 Argentina 0

We were right they were wrong. Oh and by the way, The british armed forces can do what the Americans and the French think is impossible.

Lessons to be learned? Don't trust what the Argentinians say and NEVER trust what they agree to.......and don't eat blue smarties

I heard the Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Henry Kissenger will be attending, he'll be giving a talk on the roll Operation Condor played using Latin American fascist juntas to murder an estimated half a million left wing dissidents on the continent between 1967-1987. He will be delivering an expert lecture on the use of rape and death squads in Latin America. He will be representing Argentina at the event!

You idiot, don't you know my Queen was one of the TARGETS of Operation Condor, and lost friends to the death squads, dropped out of helicopters over the sea. That she is now in power shows that Argentina is a country that can change, and the idea she would employ the man who killed her friends is deeply insulting. Anyway Kissinger's US ruling class are on Britains side, as you keep boasting about!

I look forward with extreme interest to reading the transcripts of the different talks. As a matter of fact, about 1986 I met a U.S. Marine Corps pilot who claimed he'd flown a Harrier during the Falklands conflict. I didn't believe him at the time.

My King's share of the vote was as great as my Queen's =)

@9 I think that career-politician labour guy who talks about 'the worker' whilst not actually having ever done any real work, and lives in your typical 'worker' style massive mansion in hampstead, got his heart hurt.

Oy vey!
