The nature of the stories emerging day on day across a large proportion of the independent press is: Argentina losing foriegn investment and support in its economy whilst the Falklands government continous to attract foreign financial support and have a growing economy.
Jul 16th, 2012 - 12:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe the FILC should offer to run Argentina!
You're right Marcos C&W is a rip but at least we can afford it because we have a strong economy.
Jul 16th, 2012 - 12:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Big thank you to Cable & Wireless! Totally agree with McPhee that sport a good way to raise the Falklands’ profile internationally.

Jul 17th, 2012 - 04:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0You probably can afford it but that poor tourist in Malvinas, Isolde, can't.
Relax Isolde, when we take over the prices will be much lower.
Not sure why a tourist would be suscribing to a business package long term internet service, you would think they'd buy a £5 wifi card. If by some bizzare series of events you did manage to take over the prices would have to go down because after you had done to our ecomony what you've done to yours no one would be able to afford it.
Jul 17th, 2012 - 08:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well, Marcos, wrong thrice.
Jul 17th, 2012 - 10:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0l'm not a tourist & l'm certainly not short of a quid.
And you'll never take over the Falklands.

If by we you mean Argentina (?), that's a laugh because despite many many many more resources than the Falklands have , the Argentines cannot run a succesful economy.
The Falklands is relatively succesful because it is run as a complete country. If it became a backwater province of Argentina it would become a dump fairly quickly like most Argentine provinces, the Argetines would deplete the resources. Look how unsuccesful it was when FIC was an overseas company giving little incentive to the Falklanders. Since three constitution changes giving the Islands more control, and allowing them to operate as a country rather than a backwater of the UK, their economy has increased dramatically since 1982.
