Apr 19th, 2012 - 11:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The BNP (from what I've heard), sound like a secretly racist party, covering up their beliefs with immigration reform (something the UK DESPERATELY needs). The British Freedom Party that has just been set up, sounds more rational, and people should vote for them if they want to shut down the Sharia law zones in the UK, and finally deport terrorist scum like Abu Qatada. The left has really created a problem in Europe.

Apr 20th, 2012 - 04:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0Article says:
”Claims about his involvement in the Falklands War come in part from an interview Mr Cortiglia apparently gave to La Nacion newspaper in 2003, in which he is quoted as saying:
“En 1982 me ofrecí como voluntario para ir a las Islas Malvinas.” In English:
“In 1982 I volunteered to go to the Malvinas Islands [the Falklands]”.
Mr Cortiglia says this interview never took place, and explains on the BNP’s website that it was a smear and that he had no involvement - formal or voluntary - with Argentine forces during the conflict.”
I say:
One of the beauties of the Internet is that just a few clicks on the keyboard allow any normal “thinking” citizen to validate the credibility of a story.
Let’s look at ”La Nacion's” article of Saturday, the 06 of December 2003..........… Shall we?
”Uruguayo de nacimiento, argentino por elección y en Inglaterra
”Soy argentino oriental, o dicho de otro modo, uruguayo de nacimiento, y me siento muy ligado emocionalmente a la República Argentina. En 1982 me ofrecí como voluntario para ir a las Islas Malvinas. …………Así se presenta Carlos Cortiglia……………”

Ooooooooopssssss…………
Good luck in the next elections, dear BNP and BFP!
If you need more “candidates” like Carlos Cortiglia, we surely could help you.
We have still lots of Gorillas like him left down here and we don’t need or want them.
You can have them for free………….

Apr 20th, 2012 - 05:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0Nothing secret about the BNP agenda. It is reacist.
Has anyone in Uruguay ever met Carlos Cortiglia? I don't think so. Carlos Cortiglia is a pathological liar and not one person from the BBC or the Foreign Office or the Uruguayan government has ever come forward to verify all his grandiose claims. He has never done any of the things he claims and the BNP all know of it but say nothing. Please Merco Press help the democratic people of Britain and investigate and expose this horrible man whose disgusting personal habits has revolted all who have met him. The BNP think the British are just rubbish who deserve no better than a fake joke candidate. Deja la reunión y poner fin a esta.

English always ready to make everthing to obtain to put their eyes on whatever interests which can be shown in many many samples
A little bit smarter men can easily see how they pressed themselves into SouthAtlantic to rescue by browsing a nuisance...
Laughter......Laughter.......OPWE
It does take a special kind of arrogance to emigrate to another land then subsequently complain about the 'foreigners' who were there before you. He obviously is Argentine. He'll probably surrender but continue to claim that the Mayor's residence belongs to him.

If not, try Spanish, I could possibly have a go at translating it into something sensible
