    Good try by this british illegal alien, in any case I will tell this guy that he is not even an Argentine citizen wich is what Canadian immigration tells most latin americans, and what I will like to add go back home to UK and try we will listen, you have no status Islas Malvinas Argentina. If Argentina listens to you I have a few things to say to the Canadian government.

    Where is the Le Camping gimp with a newspaper link about chicken-kiev gluttonised poor people in the UK eating too many oven chips?

    It's only a matter of time before one of them tries to take this off topic.

    Why because I want international laws to not to be bias or racist ???? Illegal aliens should be treated the same even if they are british or Mexicans. All I can say is go home nobody wants you in Islas Malvinas and I sure will do anything in my power to let every british know that they will be at risk and as you do we will not play by your rules. 1807 was just a little sample of what awaits brits down the road in the whole of latinamerica.

    No disrespect William, but you can only crawl so far,
    She is taking the fxcking piss out of your government,
    We understand that we must be diplomatic to these uneducated children, but for fxck sake get ya finger out,

    If these islands were under American protection, French or Russian or china or Iranian, and the fxing list goes on, we would not be here now, and these fucking idiots would be crying in their own shtt,

    Or do you not want the world to see just how much fxcking damage you have inflicted on our forces.
    Just a fxcking irate thought .

    @7 They are already crying in their own sh!t. It's hard to make the Argentinians get any lower than they currently are.

    Am sure i just heard on the news that their are riots or protest now happening in argentina, but the shooting in the US has taken full coverage of the news - I geuss its more important than argentinas rhetoric and attempts to destroy their own country lol.

    @8 Is it hard to make the UK lower than it currently is? That´s the question. Who does have something to loose here?

    Well we know after the recent months Argentina doesn't have any reputation or credibility to lose, they are well and truly destroyed.

    ““Fisheries, hydrocarbons, communications, trade and confidence-building measures have all been the subject of agreements in the past – albeit agreements that Argentina has subsequently resiled from,” he explained.”

    Quite, as Argentina clearly cannot be trusted to keep their word in an agreement then what's the point in even trying it?
    One might as well try to have an agreement with a bunch of delinquent toddlers as with Argentina.

    @9

    Probably because most protests in Argentina do not cause deaths, but just going to a school or office in the USA is a dicy proposition. :)

    And Anglo-saxon solidarity. For example, in Argentina there has been not one iota of coverage of the US elections on the papers and tv. While in Europe it is almost daily (I watch French, German, Italian, Spanish, and UK television).

    It just doesn't matter here.

    Contrary to Hagues diplomacy hes looking hard as nails in this picture. Hes got a John -Die Hard- McClean thing goin on.

    Its more like hes just said to CFK -Im going to destroy everything you love in life... and then Im coming to get YOU - or -if you try invading the islands again I will singlehandedly take on your entire military mano a mano-

    something like that

    @18 - In Argentina, waking up in the morning is a dicey proposition. Will there be food in the stores? Will the military drag you out to some islands to fight for them? Will Christina's face have melted in a freak fondue accident?

    So many uncertainties! :0

    On the contrary, malvibaby. You had 180 years to get over the anger and bitterness of being forced to give up a claim by an group of “squatters and usurpers” aka United provinces soldiers.

    You set up an armed camp on British territory despite diplomatic protest from HMG, then were removed by the RN when you thought you had got away with your little land grab, just like 1982. The angst and hatred on dispaly is that of a thief caught red-handed and who thought they shouold have been allowed to keep their ill gotten gains. The fact that the falklanders living standards have improved so much since 1982 (while your country is still mired in coorruption and crime far worse than the UK) must also stick in your craws. LOL

    What you Argentinians don't realise is that UK politicians simplty don't go in for big set piece speeches like that made by Mrs K yesterday. That's simply not our style: we view long rhetorical set piece speeches as silly, embarrasing, and something best left to dictators and other dubious leaders. This is something which has grown up over many centuries: one of Elizabeth I's secretaries of state urged Parliament to “speak logic, not rhetoric”, and that has stuck. William Hague said everything necessary, without any unnecessary rant and bluster.

    Hague speaks the truth about your country's diplomatic exploits and laws and behaviour. You know it, hence the hate.

    @ 24 As an Argentine, I don't want any kind of relation with you. The only *rse hole is you, Malvinista. cry cry cry. The Falklands are British, and the more I see what you are, the more I know that I'm doing the right thing. Ahora andá a hacerte asientos de malva, a mi abuelita le calma el dolor de hemorroides, nazionalista inmundo.

    This is interesting.... we just saw the news in the US about the war. I came to his Merco Press site expecting to find more of a South American perspective only to find 95% of Brits on the attack....
    I guess from the rest of the world, we only got the UK version of the story, and it's clear that there must be another side after 200 years of constant and unbreakable claims from the Argie side....
    I guess either the Argies don't speak enough English to explain their arguments here, or the Brits high unemployment leaves them with too much time, energy and faux-patriotism to sign up into here and make themselves heard. In fact, it makes me wonder... how different the two sides are in their approaches.
