May 01st, 2012 - 05:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Falklands fishing industry, despite a blockade, goes from strength to strength whilst the RG equivalent is paralysed.
LOL.
Snigger........
May 01st, 2012 - 07:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0Now, now, we mustn't laugh at the misfortune of others....
May 01st, 2012 - 10:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0..... Oh, what the hell, ha, ha,ha.
How will the Argtards try to spin this? I mean in their blinkered world view, everything is marvellous in Argentina, so why would there be any need to strike?
Obviously ordinary Argentinians are worried about their pay, their pensions and their very future. Pity CFK and her mod don't give a damn about them, and why should they? They've squirreled millions away in their own 'personal' retirement funds, located in Switzerland, the Caymans etc...
Isn't Mar d3el Plata supposed to have a naval base? How do they get the warships around all those containers of rotting fish?
May 01st, 2012 - 10:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0@4 - More like, how are they going to move the fish around those rusting heaps laughingly called warships? LOL

May 01st, 2012 - 11:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0oh I can see this one coming a mile off, the Falklands will get the blame for this one. Directly or indirectly, I bet the state controled media is whipping up a story right now.......
Biased article, behind the other of Malvinas, writting in a contrary way.
May 01st, 2012 - 11:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0Propaganda for their industry. Dont worry about our fishing, our meat and our agricultural industry. Fortunatelly we have it all. And very good standards.
@7 Where's this “Malvinas” place? Do you mean Maldives? Heard about your fishing. Isn't most of it in containers going rotten? Your meat? Do you mean you're selling off those things you laughingly call women now? Slim, sexy beauties until they get married or turn 30. Then flabby and FAT! Or do you mean cows? Sorry, that's your women again, isn't it? Oh, cattle. Those four-legged biochemical depositories. Eat 'em up, boyo! Agriculture? You grow anything besides soy? Glad you have the same high standards as your idol. What a pity he put a bullet through his brain in 1945!
May 01st, 2012 - 01:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#7 The American President at the last Summit of the Americas re-named the Falkland Islands the “Maldives.” (Sort of a nice compromise I thought.)
May 01st, 2012 - 01:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Please use the correct new denomination for the islands in the future. Thank you.
Oh by the way, recently at the summit of the Americas (You know, the one where some of the American Secret Service agents got into a little trouble), Obama was caught unaware with a hot microphone while discussing your country with the President of Columbia. I'm afraid I can't quote him word for word, but he accurately describes Argentina as a cesspool of crybabies ruled over by a ”...mad (word deleted) president... blaming everyone else for their own problems.”
Coquito, sorry, but in UK must happen that you cant even find sexy beauties at all ages, not women nor men. Must be the genetic, the no mix you have.
May 01st, 2012 - 01:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and chicofeo, Obama doesnt care of anyone else than his own country. I think he doesnt know where Chile is.

We don't worry, we laugh about it.
Don't you worry about “OUR” Falkland Islands, they are doing just fine without Argtard interference.
Do you find it frustrating that a small community of 3000 can perfectly manage their economy? All you Argtards can do is make a mess of everything.

” but he accurately describes Argentina as a cesspool of crybabies ruled over by a ”...mad (word deleted) president... blaming everyone else for their own problems.”
Quite an accurate description indeed.
#11 Yes, well his Sec. of State was really leaning to CFK's side and was calling the islands by the Malvinas name. She pressured Obama to say the “M” word, but he screwed it up. According to the press side comments, she was a “mad b*tch” when they refused to discuss the islands. She's alienated too many people.
May 01st, 2012 - 05:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 07. What meat industry? The Ks destroyed it there are frigos closing all over the country and your exports are lower than Uruguay!
May 01st, 2012 - 05:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@12 Hillary CLinton was just trying to look all Presidential by getting involved - she has one eye on the 2016 elections - but she has been put in her place on this one.
May 01st, 2012 - 05:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@13 I may have mentioned before about a friend in BsAs who owns an abattoir. She cannot sell her meat freely, she has to wait for 'the phone call' and she is told to whom she can sell and at what price, providing the right bribe is paid each time. Lovely way to do business.
Break the big corporations who hire this protesters and give fishermen loans to buy boats soo they can fish for themselves and build bigger fishing industry in Patagonia to compete with Islas Malvinas theft of our fisheries.
May 01st, 2012 - 08:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0SOMU = one of the biggest mafias ever created in the form of a unión. Try to get a boat and fish by yourself bypassing SOMU. HA!!

May 01st, 2012 - 10:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We all agree with you,
The world is at your feet,
Shame it smells a bit fishy .lol

#13 It's VERY expensive to close down a meat processing plant due to Argentinean worker protection laws. According to the Argentine government, 27% of the meat packing plant capacity has closed during the past 6 years.
May 02nd, 2012 - 05:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0Now be fair all you Brits! ”Furthermore “Customs has increased controls on fish exports since it argues containers with frozen fish are susceptible of been (sic) packed with drugs”, claims Cepa.”
May 02nd, 2012 - 01:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well, they would get more backhanders for The Mad Bitch if they had drugs in the freezer containers.
