Gibraltar is an issue, but it shouldn't get in the way of all the other things we can achieve together, particularly in this economic situation. Shame that Argentina can't see things the same way about the Falklands. Nose:spite:face.
May 30th, 2012 - 08:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0Not particularly interested in siding with Spain against Argentina or vice versa for that matter.
May 30th, 2012 - 08:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0Brilliant to see the two countries (old colonial foes) joining up in solidarity over those who should really be grateful for they have today. If it wasnt for the initial investment made by these two countries (and others) in the past, then S.americas, as we know them (treacherous cousins) today, wouldnt exist.
May 30th, 2012 - 09:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0Sounds more like hype than anything concrete. Spain is a toothless tiger and Britain has more urgent issues to worry about.
May 30th, 2012 - 09:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0Nothing to see here guys, just a photo op, that's all.
Spain: remember Utrecht! They don´t have friends, only tools.

@8 International community - nope. Argie sycophants - yep. UNGA - irrelevant. C-24 - irrelevant. Mercosur - irrelevant. Nobel laureates - irrelevant.
May 30th, 2012 - 11:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0And no, you still can't have the Falkland Islands or South Georgia or the South Sandwich Islands. Unless you think you're big enough or tough enough. But we know the answer to that, don't we?
“when the international community,UNGA,C-24,Mercosur,UNASUR,6 Nobel laureates told them....”
May 30th, 2012 - 11:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Are we allowed to giggle at your list?
Spain needs all the help it can get at the moment and it has to protect its interests just like any of us when the vultures are more than ready to pounce. Its good that the UK have joined forces to help stave off said vultures and Argentina along with its own foolhardy pressganged shipmates should take note. The best way forward in this global uprising is to make economic freinds and leave stupid territorial disputes aside and place them in the dustbin of 'great historical blunders'.
May 30th, 2012 - 11:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina ranked at number 27 in World GDP so why is it a member of the G20 ??????????????

May 30th, 2012 - 06:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0i wonder how much corruption and underhanded , deals the British did, too agree on this,
[Say what you like]
We don’t trust politicians,
Now or ever.
The greatest danger to Gibraltar and the Falklands, are the politicians .
Am I not correct ?/
I don't see what the Brits get out of this. Help with translations at most.

May 31st, 2012 - 05:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0I really am starting to dislike the Europeans. I didn't until I started participating here and saw how arrogant and dishonorable they are.

May 31st, 2012 - 12:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's not the Europeans, it's just the 15 odd characters participating on these threads. Europe is slowly taking on a more socialistic attitude towards themselves and the world outside. Mayhap it is out of need, but these folks here do not represent Europe, fact is, they don't even represent Britain as a whole...

Jun 04th, 2012 - 07:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Oh please, next you will tell me there is nothing wrong with scoring a goal with your hand and blaming it on god? very arrogant, very dishonorable, in the same way your country snatch oil companies after they find large shale gas deposits, then suddenly find retrospective “Environmental fines” to cancel out having to pay for the snatch.........Get a grip, you really are sounding like a social spastic with this drivel.
