On 15th June 2012 a large number of those left gathered to reflect on the events of 30 years ago. Read full article

Disclaimer & comment rulesArgentina doesn't care one jot about you Falklands people, and clearly has no interest in listening to your interests. That much has not changed.
Jun 18th, 2012 - 10:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is a shame, that whilst the world moves on, Argentina moves backwards,
Jun 18th, 2012 - 10:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0These people have the right to stay in the land of there fathers, as much as the Argentineans have a right to live in the Argentina,
It’s a sad reflection on society today, that these rights are being stolen by a dictatorship who still live in an imperialistic age, that they accuse the British of,
CFK and her cohorts should be dammed ashamed of them selves,
But sadly, we may live in the 21st century,
But some still cling on the there own imperialistic past like a child who refuses to let go of his dummy and grow up,
As long as the Falklanders wish to be associated with the British, then this should be there choice, and there right to decide, not the British hating CFK campers 300 miles away,
But as long as we British are willing to fight , defend , and die for freedom, then CFK and her indocronoughts can rot in hell,
For in heaven, they will not be welcome .
.
As a matter of curiosity I wonder how many generations of family Mrs Kirchener and her cronies can claim as citizens in Argentina. It's quite possible that people in the Falklands have more generations behind them than many of them.

Conqueror is correct, Kretina is 3rd generation Argentine. Her grandparents came over from Spain. Fester, her husband was also third generation, his familly was Swiss.
@4 and @5 So according to CFK's own mantra her own family were implanted so I guess they should get on Tango 1 and get back to Spain and Switzerland, to justify that mantra.
Jun 19th, 2012 - 09:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0one day argentina will wake up and realise she has given them nothing but sorrow and bad new,
Jun 19th, 2012 - 09:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0but hey,
think of what they have given to her,
the banks are bulging we hear .
Where can one find an official definition of what an “implanted population” actually is? Are their time limits or any racial requirements.
Jun 21st, 2012 - 09:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0Even if there is an officially recognised and enforcable distinction why should people who have lived in their homes for 150 - 200 years be discriminated against.
If the Falkland Islanders right to self determination is trampled over would not that make other peoples wonder about their own status making the World even more insecure than it is already.
I was born RIGHT on the day of the liberation of the Falklands on June 14, 1982!!!

Jun 21st, 2012 - 04:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Having looked into the definition of “implanted population”, I find that the majority of the references on the Internet refer to the Falklands' question. This leads me to think that the idea of an implanted HUMAN population is an Argentine invention to cover this particular case.
In botany one speaks of an implanted population when refering to the presence of an invasive species introduced by man, the same goes for biology.
