    Well I can only speak for myself but as a British worker and not a member of government; think again you vindictive bitch. Personally I'd like to rip your head off and spit down your turkey neck.

    Just my own opinion of course.

    The islanders are British and as long as they wish to remain so i'd be happy to go back and stag on at mare harbour.
    But i'd much rather that argentina grew up and left the islanders in peace.

    CFK “with the British people everything is fine”
    That's right, is just a few sheeps causing problems in Argentina.

    Written by a British
    “Have the Falklanders ever done for us, apart from costing the British taxpayer a great deal of money and helping to provide Margaret Thatcher with a crucial election victory in 1983? Not much. Why should the wishes of three thousand islanders outweigh the interests of the sixty-odd million of us who live on the British mainland?
    If the Falklanders are so desperate to remain British then they can come and live here. There are only a few thousand of them, after all: we're hardly talking about mass immigration. If they are congenitally wedded to sheep and desolation there are plenty of under-populated islands in Shetland or the Hebrides. We could even import some penguins to cheer them up: it would be a lot cheaper than maintaining an armed garrison”

    Well as the Islanders are British people, i think it is safe to say that She does have a fair level of disagreement with people other than the government.

    At to them, the family and friends of the Soldiers memorial that was so disrespectfully used in a film commissioned by her, plus all other soldiers that were insulted by her lack of apology, anamorphic exists between numerous individuals separate from the government.

    And as you pointed out, the past is in the past and if the past is the past for your country, whichever that country is, the same goes for mine. And if you think my country is comitting a crime right here and now then lobby your government to take it to the ICJ. Mouthing off on here is pointless.

    Well, this is a thread to post opinions, and to present arguments backing them. For some it's a place to post threats, for others plain stupidity.
    But none of us are here to take our case to the ICJ, which isn't the same as your country isn't commiting crimes right here and now.
    If you ask me, the biggest crime your country is commiting today, is (after Iraq) the removal of British citizens right to privacy. But hey, if you all agree of getting taped while taking a dump, who am I to complain...

    Oh look CFK suddenly hasn't got a problem with British people but with our government.

    Well CFK no one believes your deluded rants anymore. You have been constantly aggressive to 3,000 British people, threatening them, trying to starve them out and trying to steal their land, and their freedom, and threatening them with ethnic cleansing.

    Well get this into your thick skull woman. You mess with the people of the Falklands, you mess with all the people of Britain.

    Oh, and trying to appeal to the working class in Britain won't work, because they're not stupid and believe in freedom and support people's right to self determination.

    CFK is a stupid, deluded, selfish woman - an enemy to the people of Argentina.

    “everything is fine with them”

    newsflash , nothing has been fine since 1982, cant think why!!
    maybe the fact that Argenweener is a sly, pathetic excuse for a country who gets off by intimidating The small peaceful Falklanders who just wish to get on with their lives without aggression from their latam dictator of a neighbour.
    after all these are the people that killed babies and dumped thousands of people from aircraft into the sea not that long ago, very sad indeed.

    I have a friend who is Scottish, generally he likes to take a default anti-English position on everything. However, some years ago we wandered into a pub to watch England v Argentina at football. He was cheering for England as loud as everybody else. I said I thought he supported anyone but England? “No, not Argentina” was his reply.

    I have no time for Cameron and his cronies, and certainly didn't vote for him. Nonetheless, like the vast majority of British people, I completely support the British Government's correct position on the Falkland Islands. Thatcher was a callous monster, but she was absolutely right to confront and evict the Argentine invasion in 1982. At that time the majority of the British people despised her and her government, she had about 20% support, but on liberating the Falkland Islands more than 90% of British people supported her. If KFC thinks this issue divides the British people; she's very much mistaken. Though she might get the support of a few clueless leftist nut jobs with shit for brains, like Malvinas Morrissey.

    I know nothing about Guy Rider, he was given a CBE by the British Government in 2009. The fact that he has the support of an idiot like KFC will raise a few eyebrows. Perhaps he made some anti-British comment in the past that made KFC moist? Who knows?

    You defend your right of disagreeing with your gov't in specific issues of your choosing, stating they don't represent you in those matters.
    At the same time you refer to a guy that dislikes Argentinians based on them being Argentinians... You seem to think that the Argentinians are all the same, while you defend your right to be different within your own borders.
    Just as yourself, there are loads of people in Argentina that did NOT defend the invasion of the Malvinas/Falklands, specially having in mind that the regime at the time was killing its own people and the fact that they were a military dictatorship, hence not elected to power.

    Is this woman out of her mind? Britain is a democracy and our system allows for the people to elect its government and parliament. The country is, more or less, governed the way we have chosen and the vast majority of British citizens, of all political colours, support the way this coalition Government and the last Labour Government is/was handling Argentina and its preposterous and arrogant posturing.

    @24 I “suffer” from a number of problems. (1) Incipient arthritis, (2) high blood pressure, (3) osteopoenia, (4) a collapsed vertebrae and (5) ignorant, asshole south americans. On occasion, I suffer from constipation but, despite the pain, I save that up in the hope of dumping on south americans. Unfortunately, I have retired now. I have pills for the first four conditions and medication for the constipation. But getting south americans sent to British prisons is now beyond me. Pity. I used to go to court. Not because I needed to. Just because I really enjoyed the expressions on their faces as they found out how many years they were going to be “banged up” for!
    @46 If “you” are a Uruguayan, why do you constantly defend argies? Argies have nothing but contempt for Uruguayans. Argieland refuses to buy its currency back. Argieland blocks Uruguayan projects. Argies block “international” bridges. Argies interfere with Uruguayan ports.
