@4 What are you trying to say? I don't quite understand your point. They're called ceremonial positions. Nigel Haywood does have the power of veto but 99.99 percent of the time he just goes along with what the Falklands Legislative Assembly says. He would only use his veto if they tried to do something completely outrageous like bring back slavery or force everyone to eat asparagus at breakfast (the more attentive among you will have noticed that I took second of those examples from Blackadder). Veto is an almost entirely ceremonial power these days. Just because we have history and you don't doesn't mean you should get all stroppy about it...

Apr 01st, 2012 - 10:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0I think you are saying that Australia, Canada and New Zealand are satellite states of the UK. If so, you are displaying an amazing degree of ignorance: these are proud, successful, wealthy and democratic independent countries. I suggest you study them in detail: they are excellent examples of how countries should be run. You might even come to realise why Argentina has failed to keep pace with these countries: remember that in the 1920s Argentina was as wealthy as Canada?

It probably Think posting as some kind of deranged Argentine conspiracy theorist who believes the Queen of England rules the world via a huge Zionist conspiracy, which began - according to Mel Gibson and Sean Penn - with the Crucifixion of Christ by the Jews and has been perpetuated by a vast zionist banking conspiracy working hand in hand with a ceremonial English monarchy who run day to day affairs in Washington, Ottawa, Moscow, Beijing and London. They control the UN via their zionist place men and run the EU.
It's a popular belief in Argentina. Say no more.

Shhh!, we'll give you a small tin of oil if you help.
@7 - as a resident of one of these countries, you are spot on. Indeed one of them, Australia, had a referendum to see if a republican model should replace the constitutional monarchy. Australians chose the continuity of a form of independent, stable government under the Crown. It is all about self-determination and choosing what works for you as a form of government. In terms of the Falklands and the Falkland Islanders, it is the only way that sovereignty can be resolved: by asking those who live in a country, territory, colony how they want to be governed.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 01:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well having a queen that with the power to remove your PM it is not a sign of independent country.

Really a shame
Both the Governor and the veto are there by the agreement and consent of the Islanders, who have the right to decide the structure, checks and balances, of their own government.

I often think the republican model is flawed, much easier to have a figure head with no power then one you have to vote for every 4-5 years. The USA being a prime example of how not to run a country.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 01:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@11 Yet again, another Le Camping Gimp showing their ignorance. The whole point of the Queen is to prevent corrupt Nazi governments like your current one from ever getting any kind of power. Take poisonous ideologies like Peronism, Hitlerism and Kichnerism, these would never get into power because the queen would be capable of retracting their remit to rule.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 01:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You certainly wouldn't see anything like a hitler youth programme such as Le Camping and you wouldn't have the president becoming super-rich whilst it's son loses $2.1 Billion at the same time finds lots of money to build new hotels.
Your country is exactly what the Queen is there to prevent.
Get over it, and then get back to being a Le Camping blackshirt.
Correlation is not causation, but an interesting coincidence that so many constitutional monarchies are in top ranks of UN's Human Development Index, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, UK. Must be something int the water...

Apr 01st, 2012 - 03:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, the British Queen is technically the head of State of Australia, New Zealand and Canada. While historically this resulted in strings being pulled by the British Government (i.e. Britain calling us to help fight the common enemies during the two World Wars.), in this day and age, the respective heads of these nations call the shots. The Queen being the head of our Constitutional Monarch governments is a formality, a tradition kept since the old days where more power might, I repeat 'might', have been invoked...
...Just like Argentina had traditions going on in the 70's and 80's dating back to when the land that makes up Argentina was colonised by the Spaniards.
@17 You should be discussing his “Queen” with British Kirchnerist. Although I'm never sure whether he means “Queen” or “Queer”.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 03:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We don't let Argentina dictate what to call the Islands, we can't let Argentina dictate the key date to remember and Falklands liberation commemoration on 14 June is key not only for Falklands and for Britain, but also for Argentines because 14 June thus marked beginning of the end for murderous military junta that had killed so many Argentines.

Like making things up do you? But even if they did have those names, it would be better than being subject to the whims of “La Presidenta Botox”. I was actually unsurprised to find that argieland has no less than 16 intelligence services.
@11 What would you know? In your undemocratic country the Head of State and the Head of Government are the same person. And did you know that “La Presidenta Botox” can remove the entire government. So you're not “independent”. You're a dictatorship!

@24 Might not be a good idea talking about “queers” from the “queer” capital of the world. Nighty night, faggot!
After i read this article, i conffirmed what i have always thought, i mean, the only one diference betwen thatcher and galtieri, is that thatcher was a democrat. But both acted in such an absolutly repudiable way, both used this cause, just to bost a miserabe government like thatcher's, and the most terrible and bloody dictatorship from south america. I think that after 30 years, people from both countries must do a critic for their behaviour during 1982 and after. If you want to criticise the soposed support of our people to the war, you should take into account too that during the dictatorship, the four chanels that we had were in the hands of the junta, all the information that was related to the conflict was twisted, in fact all the time it was said that we were wining, i saw planty of documentals about the behaviour of the press during the war, and i am going to make an investigation about it. On the other hand, the true enemies of our soldiers weren't the british, they were actually the repressors who were sent to fight to the south atlantic, who continued torturing our compatriots like they did in the mainland, I dont agree neather with this war, nor with any other, but i can't ignore the bravery of planty of our soldiers who fought for the sovereignty, we must honour them.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 08:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Some people here says that c. f. k wants to use this cause, in order to distract people's mind from real problems, i have two questions for those people, do they ignore that she was reelected a few monthes ago with the 54% of the votes?, what should she do before the militarization from the south atlantic, which has been signalized before the decolonization for the last years by arg, and what she do also before the oil exploration in the islands?. she doesn't need to use this cause nor any other in order to win an election, like thatcher and galtieri needed in 1982, we are not in crisis luckilly, like the e. u., we have problems like any other nation, but even with them, c. f. k won.
Axel, what a truly ridiculous post.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 08:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Comparing Galtieri to Thatcher is ridiculous in the extreme.
Galtieri murdered in excess of 30,000 of his own countrymen and illegally invaded a country.
Thatcher defended the people of the Falkland islands and liberated them from a illegal invader.
If you can't tell the difference something is very, very wrong with you.
@27 Yet again, more Argentinian biased drivel. The argentinian soldiers were fighting for lebensraum, pure and simple. You wanted the land, all the people went into the streets in celebration of invading the falklands and so you made a sacrifice of blood in taking someone else's territory simply because you felt you wanted it.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 08:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The soldiers died because of your continued overt expansionist cultural value. You feel the Falkland people should be under your control so you invaded.
“i can't ignore the bravery of planty of our soldiers who fought for the sovereignty, we must honour them.” That's just like the empire of japan honouring their war dead for taking manchuria and korea which they believed was theirs.
The Islands of the South Atlantic are British Overseas Territories, and what we do with them are our business. If we have to make our military presence stronger because of evil nations trying to invade, then so be it.
You are one messed up puppy, but you can thank Le Camping for that.
Seems like a decent news story from Jack (link below), but a correction is that the lady's name “Malvina” probably didn't originate from “Malvinas”, but rather is actually an old Scottish name once popular in the Falklands and is unrelated to Argentine name, according to Malvina House Hotel, Stanley.

Jack Knox
Victoria Times Colonist
1 April 2012
Petty Officer Daryl Brown was on the bridge when the first Argentine jet fighter came screaming around the corner into San Carlos Water, right down low where it had its pick of British ships to blow apart.
“Take cover!” someone yelled, and Brown did, the sunny morning shattered by a cacophony of bomb strikes and anti-aircraft fire, machine guns hammering away, missiles whooshing into the sky.
“It was so violent, but for such a short period of time, maybe 30 seconds. It was bizarre.”
That was Brown's introduction to the Falklands War.

The UK has stood against fascism since the day out country was born and I will not, under any circumstances, see the Falkland ISLANDS fall to a set of NAZIS.
Fuck you Argentina.
XECT. GREEK YOGHURT.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 10:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0XECT: Sorry if you dont agree with my opinion, but nobody can ignore that the war helpt thatcher, to bost her government, even she recognized it in her memoir, the ditatorship tried to do the same, but it lost.
Beside, galtieri didn't kill 30000 people, he only governed arg. for six monthes, anyway i dont have any simpathy for that repugnant fascist eather.
GREEK: It was obvious that you were going to understand just what you wanted. Firstly, i dont deny that our people must do a critic for their behaviour during the war and after, because most soldiers were very discriminated when they returned to the continent, beside more than 1000 of them killed them selves. On the other hand, the fact that i honour the bravery of our soldiers, it doesn't mean that i support the war, or a new invation, i can't ignore the bravery of those people, who were forced to go to a war, beside they had never been in any eather, like me or not, the war existed, and that's why i say that i can't ignore the bravery of planty of our soldiers. It's very easy to argue that our people were celebrating in plaza de mayo, when arg. invaded the islands, but you dont consider the terrible manipulation of the press which was all under the control of the junta, which distorted information all the time. Beside, the british people also supported the war, i have never known about any protest against thatcher's decition, when she decided to send troops to the south atlantic, so, war is the solution for you?.
This is evident that you still dont realise how rediculous you are when you compare arg. with a colonial empire, do you forget where you come from?. You mix a fair cause, with the desperate act of a dictatorship which only wanted to bost a government. On the other hand, you dont need to warn me about anything, only an ignorant like you can think that arg. might invade the islands again.
Fuck you, Argentina. Cunts.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 10:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Axel, I wouldn't disagree it saved Thathcers position but comparing the two isn't really logical unless you are specifically talking about the boost to their careers.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 10:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Thatcher made her name by constantly standing for what she believed in and this was just another milestone in her career.
She ultimately was as much of a failure as she was a success in her time in power.

Apr 01st, 2012 - 11:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I dont think that thacther was a dictatorship, i only say that her and galtieri used this cause, in order to bost their governments, in this case, i think that both acted in such a miserable way. It was known that it was imposible that argentina wins, in fact, she had been warned one year before, about the danger of cutting the deffence for the south atlantic, on the other hand, in 1980, her governmnet sent nicholas readly to the islands, in order to persuade the islanders, that they accept to negotiate a solution for this dispute, that shows how important the islands were for her, right?.
Wait, the UK was bailed out by the IMF??? LOL!!

Regardless of her personal motive, I think she was compelled to act after witnessing the outrage by the British public over the invasion.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 11:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Anything other than a victory and recapture of the islands would not have been acceptable to the British.
And with the British military vs the Argentine military she could of reasonably calculated a victory for Britain and her political career.
@axel-arg 35 &32. There is absolutely no moral equivalence between Thatcher and Galtieri. Thatcher was liberating British people who had been put under a fascist occupation by your Junta.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 11:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If she had'nt, she would have been finished politically, the people of Britain are very unforgiving to weak leaders who lead us to disaster. The war had popular support.
We did'nt ask for war - you started it.
You are quite right to point out that you almost had the islands in your grasp by peaceful means.
Now that we have had to fight a despicable invasion, put up with you constantly going back on agreements with us and listen to your countries' outrageous lies, we have lost interest in doing business with you. I hope there is a fortune in oil in the neighbouring seas, you won't be getting a penny.
The islanders win, we win, you lose.
As far as I can see UK- Argentina relations are a zero sum game.

Apr 01st, 2012 - 11:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Britain was a fascist state until the early 20th century...

@11 The Queen has no power to remove the Prime Minister in Australia; in 1975 the Governor-General did what the Queen could never do - dismiss a PM as if he were a republican president. It is all a matter or name and tradition. The point is that the majority of fascist dictatorships have come directly from republics. If you counted up the number of coups, military juntas, governments overstepping the marks, a remarkable number would have spoken Latin languages! Spain sought stability and brought back the king. I can't speak for Australians but it seems that they decided to stay with a system that has given them stability, rule of law and prosperity for over 100 years. If it ain't, don't fix it.
Apr 02nd, 2012 - 12:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0@ 39, I agree, subjugation and the racism that goes with empire was a bad thing. The difference in the Falklands though is that they are British free settlers who wish to remain as they are: British. The Argentina experience of government and economic management is very unappealing and it is not lost on most of the developed world which has been burned by successive BsAs governments. Today on 2 April, 30 years on, I hope that for once Argentina reflects on what it started, thinks about its sons who died and even think of those British soldiers and Islanders who died to defend the rights of their fellow citizens.

The original fascists were the followers of Mussolini in 1920's Italy: “fascist” comes from “fasces” which were the symbol of office of Roman magistrates. It then became the common name for extreme right wing, nationalist parties which appealed to the worst chauvinist instincts of the people during a period of extreme economic uncertainty. Britain never had a fascist government - but “Peronism” was, and unfortunately still is, a good example of a fascist movement.

Apr 02nd, 2012 - 01:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Regardless the personal motives, i have a question for you both. What's more important, a politic carear, or avoiding a war, in order to save many people's lives.
I understand that nothing was going to be accepted except a militar victory by the u. k, but you can't ignore that your thatcher two years before, had sent her secretary or minister of foreign affairs to the islands, with the prupose of achiving that islanders accept to negotiate a solution for the dispute, on the other hand, one year before she had been warned about the danger of cutting the deffence for the south atlantic, that shows how irrelevant the islands were for her administration. However her, and dictator galtieri realised that a militar victory was going to bost their governments, in this point, both acted in the same miserable way. Thatcher could have accepted a peaceful solution, like it was recommended, but maybe it wasn't going to be a politic victory for her in the elections of 1983. That's why i insist that using a this cause, just to bost two governments, is absolutly miserable, beyond if you are argentine or british.
Anyway, i can't avoid to recognize that if the war didn't happen, we wouldn't recover the democracy in 1983, and surelly the dictatorship had lasted more years, and more violations to human rights had happened.
