Argentina’s Central bank confirmed that during the “Kirchner era” the country paid 32 billion dollars in pending debts, “the centre piece of the policy to recover sovereignty by cutting indebtedness” and praised the decision to appeal to the bank’s international reserves to support such a policy.

    …................you with nothing to say.

    Mr. Lorton; now that you are here, I would like to ask……………………:
    In the Assange thread you say:
    ”Bet no-one thinks about the victims…..
    ..... The British police should kick the doors in and show these sexond rate nations what justice is all about.”

    I say:
    Is it wise to spend so much goodwill on this case?
    Think about your past ”teachings” to your fellow coppers….
    Think about all that intelligent stuff you once wrote in your books….
    Think about the 85,000 women raped yearly in the UK, of whom merely 800 are ”able” to convict their attacker……
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics#United_Kingdom

    Then, at least it will be one copper thinking about the victims………………

    @1 Quick Google search suggests creditors owed at least $100 billion. ”The collapse of Argentine economy, which led the South American nation to default on $100bn (£64bn) of debt – the biggest sovereign default in history”

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/9332474/Debt-crisis-the-cost-of-default-rioting-sieges-and-death.html

    Not sure if that's American billions ($100, 000, 000, 000) or British billions ($100, 000, 000, 000, 000).

    If I did that I'd have my assets seized. More likely I'd have the decency to sell some of my assets to pay what I owed. I suppose that's not the way it works in the part of the world.

    @2
    Just love the lecture on the abuse of women from a Argie

    Another report released by an NGO, Femicide Observatory, claims that one woman dies per day due to gender violence in Argentina, usually at the hands of their partner or former partner. However, these cases remain under-reported, as “about 40% of women don’t want to report their cases,”

    TWIMC….

    In the nine years of the “Kirchner Era”, Argentina has honored ~32,000,000,000 dollars in foreign debts.

    In the nine years of the “Kirchner Era”, Argentina has accumulated ~50,000,000,000 dollars of foreign reserves.

    In the nine years of the “Kirchner Era”, Argentina has, through the use of OUR International reserves, reduced our indebtness with the ”Foreign Financial Markets” with about ~80%.

    In the nine years of the “Kirchner Era”, Argentina has taken ~70,000,000,000 dollars credits from Friendly Nations under very favorable conditions.

    In the nine years of the “Kirchner Era”, Argentina has invested those ~70,000,000,000 dollars credits into real production, not financial speculation and diverse ”bubbles”.

    So please my dear turnips, feel free to comment on the above topics………

    According to the record, argieland started with a US$7.2 billion loan from the IMF. Then there was a US$40 billion multilateral aid package. Let's match that against US$32 billion repaid. They say. Still leaves US$15.2 billion. But then stink says they've got another US$70 billion in dollar credits. US$85.2 billion. That's okay then, Stinky, you only owe about twice what you used to owe. What's the “cunning plan”?

    @12

    As usual the arch liar 'I don't Think, aka The Turnip in Chief, is using the same INDEC approach to reality.

    What about the stolen pensions, the piece of paper left in the coffers is worth about as much as one sheet of toilet paper?

    What about the millions stolen by TMBOA and FatBoy for when they fly off to the wide blue yonder leaving The Turnip in Chief in Chubut looking at his broken watches?

    But of course, Argentina, that paragon of virtue (ha, ha) will still lead the world. Pity it will be in the despicable ways that we have all come to expect.

    Faklad island holdings is a company like coca-cola or ford motors, according to UK it belongs in UK and they are welcome to go home to UK and quit procastinating and go nobody like pesty illegal aliens in islas Malvinas Argentina, besides we have no relations with squatters.

    The only conclusion I can come to is that the malvinistas are psycho-masochists. They are asking for another spanking so that, after the event, the survivors might snuggle up to the teats of KFC and Hugo Chavez (a horrible thought), a sort of Münchausen syndrome .... There there... shudder :))

    @15 It's a “holding company”. Do you understand what that means? FIC accounts for approx. 40% of FIH turnover. Shame that, eh? Lo and behold, you are proven yet again to be a dumb cluck.

    When is CFK actually going to do something? Apart from the dummy-spitting and sabre-rattling I mean. It's not like she's made any progress. LOL!

    As for the comparative merits of the UK and Argentine economies: you and I both know this has nothing to do with the Falkland Islands vs. Malvinas issue. Good for a bit of mud slinging by Mercopress addicts from both sides but nothing else.

    If you want the islands when are you going to grow a spine and get them?

    Umm, if it's okay with you I won't bother to look. Even if it's not okay with you I won't bother to look. Tell your beloved president to have a go for once. All her BS is just boring.

    Wake me up if Argentina actually achieves one of its objectives in the task of getting the islands. At the moment you're not even trying.

    Keep your ears to the ground in October.

    To plagiarize something from a well known Quality Management Guru.

    “The Argentineans are like seagulls, they fly in, do a lot of squaking, shit all over the place and then fly out.”

    How apt.

    I think you mean the appendix or, to be more precise, the vermiform appendix. You need to buy a more modern encyclopaedia though because although it is true that for many years it was believed that the vermiform appendix was of little or at best unrecognised use, it is now well established that it has two important functions.

    We're still here and we always will be. There is nothing your impotent government can do about it.

    In 2015 she will have to go, thanks god.
    Inflation devaluation is collapsing many people.
    Stealing by the gov is high, just expropaiting ciccone is the example how they manage to use gov mechanismes to hide and get protection between themselves when they rob. I would like to see boudou been investigated to the lasts consecuencies. he shouldnt have any help and if he did sth wrong abusing of his charges pay for it.
    We need new people, not a bunch of thieves on gov.

    Haha exactly, no-ones really able to come back on this outline of Cristina and the left's real achievements =)

    #5 “Just love the lecture on the abuse of women from a Argie”

    Are you being sarcastic? Well Argentina is obviously such a macho male dominated culture, to have produced Evita and Cristina!!!

    #28 “In 2015 she will have to go, thanks god”

    @30 “The constitution can be changed”

    Indeed, I believe that the Falkland Islands and SGSSI both somehow became “an integral part of the National territory” when the constitution was rewritten, in 1994.
    Writing that out might be useful while you're rewriting the bits that stop TMBOA from standing again.
