Aug 20th, 2012 - 08:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yeah, I like to see CFK take on people from Macclesfield.
Aug 20th, 2012 - 09:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I've gone out on the lash there once or twice and they're nails. They'd probably nut CFK and break her face if she starts anything, and that's just the women from the town.
The blokes would eat Timidman for breakfast too.
Hardly an indication we have any intention relinquishing sovereignty, they will need the space for the Queen Elizabeth Supercarrier and the new Type 26. Not to mention the oil tankers.

MALVINAS ARGENTINAS...down with the brits trash!

Aug 21st, 2012 - 05:52 am - Link - Report abuse 03 million unemployed??? Bankrupt? Britain has NEVER defaulted on it's debts in its long history. So not bankrupt. Surely you Argentinians know what it really is to be bankrupt, don't you?
You've been reading Indec figures agains haven't you?
But at least we haven't got nearly 40% inflation and no restrictions on how many dollars we can buy. Our people aren't constantly on strike, and our local government isn't suing the national government for not supplying promised funds.
Poor deluded Argtard. All mouth and no trousers.
@5. 80 billion default !

@5 Argtards only weapon is talk, sorry, nobody is listening.

The Falklands are British and remain so! SELF-DETERMINATION!
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
@5 You're still well behind the times, aren't you? Where did you get the idea that the Falkland Islands has 3 million unemployed? Do you get the idea? The Falkland Islands Government (F.I.G.) is going to build a port. The Falkland Islands Government (F.I.G.) is going to pay for the construction and the materials. Can you get your mind (?) round that? Now let's move on a little. Because I've been looking at some argie figures and I need some guidance. Apparently, argie unemployment is at 7.1%. If we were to say that argieland has 3 million unemployed and that is equal to 7.1%, 100% would be more than the entire population. But argieland's population is only two-thirds that of Britain. So how many unemployed does argieland have? By the way, according to the UK's Office of National Statistics the UK's unemployment rate is currently 8%. Of course, the UK doesn't have 25-30% inflation. If we take two sovereign credit ratings, AAA and B, which do you think argieland has and which the UK has? The UK doesn't seem to be experiencing much in the way of power cuts. Actually, it hasn't had any for years! If I want to go down to the local High Street and buy some foreign currency, let's say dollars, I can. There isn't much in the way of industrial action, e.g. strikes. And the “British trash” are building 2 supercarriers, still building all those NUCLEAR-powered fleet submarines AND those state of the art destroyers. AND we still have the time and capacity to build some little boats for your pals in Brazil. AND we're still churning out those lovely Typhoon aircraft. AND working on the outfitting of all those new A330 MRTT Voyager refuelling and transport aircraft. You know, the ones that can fly all the way to the Falklands without stopping and refuel Typhoons at the same time and carry about 300 “passengers” at the same time.

I was expecting the port to be a bit bigger

More the Falklands achieve, the better they will be,

The less influence South America has over them.
The more independent you make your selves,
The more you upset the Argies who envy you.

But while you are living back in our cave, banging rocks together, and running out to kill a bison. we will still be here, all safe and warm protected by the sort of advanced weaponary that could still reduce your cave to a pile of smouldering road grit.
And speaking of road grit... how are those pot holes in B.A coming along? anyone been round to fix them yet?
the port will grow , like the falklands,
Aug 21st, 2012 - 10:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0argentina will will just have to sit and watch in awe .
If Nestor, the crap investor, had not walked out of talks, possibly destined to deliver Argentina a lot of finance and business, this port may not have been necessary.
Aug 22nd, 2012 - 06:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0However I am glad it is as there will be far more benefits to the FIs than just the oil trade; there is the future beyond that to consider.
@12 Your financial analysis of the Islanders(?) the UK(?), (your rant does not make it clear to whom you refer), is a bit inacurate che. Argentina's actions towards them force them to have closer ties with the UK (you give them no other option) and to become more and more and more self-reliant.
This, by the way, Mr Malvaloso is not harming the Islanders, it is harming Argentina.
In fact hopefully (?)you have the brain capacity to realise Argentina's policies are making the Falkland Islanders more independent, (ie, not more vunerable) and to become a country in their own right , this being a latest example of where Argentina say 'without our support the Falklands will fail.'
Errrrr, actually no, everytime the Argentines withdraw something from the Islands, the Islanders simply find another way to exclude Argentina from their equation all together. Worked that one out Malvi?
To be honest I think Beavis and Butthead would make a better job of conducting foreign policy than Argentina.
It's about time the Islanders also considered the production of bio-fuels, but perhaps that will result later.
Isn't the idea that 3,000 people can handle a mass oil industry of their own a bit quixotic. And the idea they should reap sole benefit thereof, or beam it back to their kith and kin half a world away in the old colonial power, unsustainably iniquitous. Surely a good relationship with the neighbours would be easier and better?!

A very bad move don't you think!!!!
Yes BK we would like a good stable relationship with our neighbours and we have been striving for that for the last decade and a half, unfortunatly we don't have good stable neighbours. Argentina would benefit from the Falklands future oil industry if it wasn't for Nestor.

Aug 23rd, 2012 - 11:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Falkland Islands fishery/conservation zone is the second best run example in the world.
Therefore they are more than capable of running an oil industry. And unlike Argentina they are businesslike so they can get investment in their oil fields, despite a host of pathetic impotent threats from the world champion whiners=Argentina
The Falkland Islanders run their country far better than Argentina do theirs.
The Argentines have huge resources yet they cock things up.
The Falkland Islands have limited resources and their average GDP per person is the best in South America.
Oh yes, does Argentina spend 25% of its GDP on education?
How can you have a good relationship with neighbours who are unreliable, untrustworthy and belligerent?
Its the Argentines that walked out of talks over oil cooperation, not the Falkland Islanders-Argentina's loss.

Aug 27th, 2012 - 08:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Britain at least defaulted over sovereign debt 5 times in history and may be more if we look for deeper.
3 here...
1340
1917
1932
And also went under IMF supervision in the ’70 and asked for special loans to don’t go down as “Drinker Poop” after flashing the toilette.
So you have more defaults than Argentina and the record in Western Europe I think is hold by the French or Spanish with more than 8 times (the serial defaulters) ha ha.
So stop to talk BS even Mauritius has better default record than you “0” defaults, ha ha

Aug 27th, 2012 - 03:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The port development, be it either Stanley's refurbishing or building a new one, or both, is still one of the two weak links that constrain the isles economy.
Aug 27th, 2012 - 04:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The other is the civil airport which cannot take heavy aircraft and these have no other choice than to turn to the military landing strip. This is MoD's and they can choose on their own decision who lands/takes off and who cannot, and apply inflated charges. Instead, a good civil airport ruled by the FI Government would provide a substantial revenue for both maintenance and improving.

1340 Default with the Florence banks
1670/72 de infamous default the “Stop of the Exchequer” when Charles II bankrupted much of the banking community.
1917 Default on Exchequer bonds with haircut included (5% to 3.5%).
1932 default on Inter-allied debt
“UK settles WWII debts to allies”
Britain will settle its World War II debts to the US and Canada when it pays two final instalments before the close of 2006, the Treasury has said.

“Healey became Chancellor of the Exchequer in March 1974 after Labour's narrow election victory. His tenure is divided into Healey Mark I and Healey Mark II.[7] The divide is marked by his decision, taken with Prime Minister James Callaghan, to seek an International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan and submit the British economy to the IMF supervision. The loan was negotiated and agreed in November and December 1976 and announced in Parliament on 15 December 1976”
“Continued internal problems in Britain forced the British Government to go to the IMF as a lender of last resort. This happened in late 1976. This was a turning point in the way the IMF worked. The loan to Britain was made conditional on Britain making internal policy changes according to the dictates of the IMF. This was a world changing event. The IMF had been converted into a political machine that could impose policy onto an independent country in exchange for a loan. The terminology used to describe this process is 'international cooperation.'”
