Falkland Islands self-determination is paramount. Good that PM Cameron respects that - and expects Argentina and other nations to do same.

I'm sure the Falklanders thank you for their support :)

Something you can never be, since you are British.
Falkland Islanders views do matter, yes, and as far as I'm concerned should be part of whats taken into account. But the overwhelming and growing mood of resource nationalism in South America, and a genuine desire to right past colonial wrongs, should also figure in the balance. Which is why there should be negotiations. Thats just good common sense really, not harpy screeching (Elaine you really are full of bile, did you fancy Nestor before Cristina bagged him or something?!)

Diego Garcia and the rest of the Chagos islands were uninhabited until the late 18th century. In 1778 the French Governor of Mauritius granted Monsieur Dupuit de la Faye the island of Diego Garcia, and there is evidence of temporary French visits to collect coconuts and fish.[8] Several Frenchmen living in “a dozen huts” abandoned Diego Garcia when the British East India Company attempted to establish a settlement there in April 1786.[8] , and the colony failed in October.[9] Following the departure of the British, the French colony of Mauritius began marooning lepers on Diego Garcia,[9] and in 1793 the French established a coconut plantation using slave labour,

Jun 14th, 2012 - 02:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0You Argies haven't got a clue . You are only good at telling lies ,lies and even more lies .You dont even bother to half get your facts right whether it is the Falklands or the Chagos.All you need to do is look at Wikipedia for a reasonably accurate history of these places.
As for Alicia spouting her stuff I thought the British attacks on the Spanish forces in 1806 and 1807 in Buenos Aires were part of a wordwide war against the French and their( coerced) allies which ultimately lead to the 'liberation' of Latin America from Spanish and Portuguese rule. Britain played the major external part in that Liberation in many ways but no thanks from Argentina.
The same is true about 1982; when Britain liberated the Falkland Islands it also liberated 28 million Argentinians from the junta but again no thanks for that.
These are the same ungrateful Argentinians who did not have anything to do with the junta even though a quarter of a million were cheering in front of the Casa Rosada when Galtieri was doing his walkabout.If Argentina can murder 30,000 of its own people without too much fuss the 1800 on the Falklands would have been no problem to dispose of if Mrs Thatcher had not sent the Task Force to protect 'our people'.
The biggest problem for Argentina is that it tells lies to itself and believes them and tells the same lies to other people and is surprised when they don't believe them.
I can't be bothered banging my head against the Argie brick wall any more. All I can do is have a good laugh at Argentina's childish antics.

You are a pathetic piece of garbage. To claim Britain liberated Latin America.... absolutely no single solitary historical source has, does, or will ever write or claim that. You just invented that out of thin air, LOL. It was Argentina that liberated a large portion of Latin America, and the history easily corroborates this.
The British attacked the CIVILIANS of Buenos Aires, virtually all of whom had never set foot in Spain and whom already were quite removed from the Spanish and stirring self-government, and it was the civilians that completely and utterly humiliated you Strategicus. You know why? The Spanish had pretty much left the city undefended, since they were far more preoccupied with other more important areas of Empire (like the Pacific, for example).
The British has come from their glorious conquest of South African and thought they could repeat the feat in the Rio de la Plata. The world's greatest military at the time high-tailed it like cowards against a rag of civilians with boiling oil.
You Brits are desperate for grandiosity... you are so consummately comtemptible. :)

At least when Britain had wars with Spain they were real wars and not the 'crybaby' war of 1982.
Big tough Argentina with 28 million people attacks 1800 people on the Falklands defended by 70 Royal Marines , gets its arse kicked and then has not stopped crying since to anybody who half pretends that they are listening.
As for reading Argentine versions of history they are works of fiction. You cannot believe a word; like the INDEC figures.
Pro-CFK contributors are out in force this evening. I wonder if it has anything to do with 14/6? I also wonder if they're paid by word, sentence, paragraph or post? Have a good day Falklanders, and my sympathies to the bereaved on both sides.

I think most people are aware that the population of the Chagos Islands were transient, given that the islands are in themselves uninhabitable. This is in the same way to submersed islands being uninhabitable. Argentines might struggle with this concept, but it means that they cannot sustain life without overwhelming and unecessary amounts of outside help. Sad but true. In the same way that submersed islands shouldn't expect people to wear scuba equipment all day and at night, the chagosians simply didn't have a water supply once the plantations were closed.
Jun 14th, 2012 - 07:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why are the Argentines obsessed with the principle that the Mauritians shouldn't have moved them to somewhere habitable? Is there nothing more to Argentines that watching Black Africans dehydrating on beaches until they are parched corpses? What would they have said about the British then?
The fact is, history shows the falklands peoples were never removed. This is a fact, and Diego Garcia issues have no bearing on the Falklands. I'm sure if the Falklands had no water, they would also be moved... like South Georgia.
Anyways, why are we letting La Campora distract us from their love of invading and their hatred of their own native populations?

Whilst this is admirable and colonialism was wrong, if the past rights of colonialism are to be righted then it must be across the board in the whole of South America, not just the Falklands. Thus, negotiations can only be entered into simultaneously as negotiations regarding every disputed area in South America, including the disputed border between Argentina and Chile etc, etc, etc...

@8 right colonist wrong. Are you fing insane. I do not see your beloved CFK offering to give her land in Rio gallegos back to the native tribes it was stolen from in the 1800s in fact it is still celebrated on the back of the 100 peso note.
Jun 14th, 2012 - 11:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0@1 Argentine press you mean the 80% of it which is funded and controlled by the government and a country in which journalist in Argentina have stated there is constant government intervention to prevent the publsihing of antio government stories. Your argument is that because the country made a mistake with Chagos we should make the same mistake with the Falklands.
Let me make it plain to state that the islanders (the islanders not the UK government) have no right to calling a refurendum and that there views are not importent is statement which is counter to the ideas of democracy, freedom, self determination and is therefore is compeltly against the charter and spirt of the UN and the views of the vast majority of the world. If a population which has lived in the Falklands since 1833 (and British history in the Islands pre dates this by a conserible margin) has no right to self determination, then the european imigrants to Patagonia (conqured in 1870s) also have no right to self detremination as they are an implanted population (by the defifntion of the Argebtine argument). Given that the 1994 constituion placed the Falklands as a terrotory of Tierra De Fuego (not an argentine province until approxiamtly half a century after 1883) thuis would mean that as the people of Tierra de Fuego (as an implanted population) have no right to excerise self determination over the Falklands and therefore their views do not matter. Taking that in 1833 Argentina consisted of Bs As and other smaller cities around the Rio Plate, the Falklands were approxiamtly 1,100 miles away and therefore well outside the juristition of the fledging country.
This is the logical extension of the Argentine argument.
In my previous post, I meant: “ISLAS MALVINAS” and not “Falkland Islands”. As the translator helped Google me out this THICK mistake!

How far did the borders of Argentina extend towards the falklands in 1833?? dont think you had cleared the pesky indians out of the rest of the country. So you colonised the rest of the southern section of RG land killing the native population, then set your eyes on the falklands. RG colonists!!!

@1 How many Chagos Islanders were killed by the UK?
How many Argentinians did the Argentinian government kill in the 1970s?
How many Amerindians did the Argentines kill in the 1880s?
I comment your support for self -determination of the Falkland Islanders as @7
@8 What Latin America think about the Falkland Islands is OK as long as it does not threaten their self-determination. It would be ideal for the Falkland Islanders to have a good relationship with Latin America but if they can't because of the Colonialist attitudes of Argentina, then the Falkland Islanders will prosper without latin America regardless.
@13 If it was wrong that the British attacked civilians in Buenos Aires do you believe it was right that apart from 80 Royal Marines,in 1982 the Argentines invaded the civilians in the Falkland Islands, who had NOT ATTACKED Argentina?
@32 According to the UN principles of self determination and de-colonisation a former colony is encouraged to become independent of the colonising country-NOT to be a colony of another country (ie Argentina).
The UK has not partially or totally disrupted Argentine national unity, as the Falkland Islands have been British since 1765, and currently the UK has given the Falkland Islanders increasing self-autonomy which I hope (according to UN rules on de-colonisation) will lead to Independence one day.
@38 In 1833 the country known as Argentina did not exisit it was known as the Provinces of the Rio Plate. The areas of patagonia and the Pampa were not yet part of the fledging country and did not become part of the country until 1870 when General (later president) Roca completed his conquest of the desert to take this land by force from the native inhabitants.

You are more interested in saving the bloody stupid euro,
At our expense,
But if France, demanded action against CFK , you would beat him to the switch, would you not,

It is not a question of number of voters. The FIG is requesting expert help to make sure the questions asked are not biased and that takes some time.
Were the FIG Argentine it could be done in a day or so:
1. Do you want to belong to Argentina?
2. Do you want to belong to be thrown into the Atlantic from a Hercules plane?
