Sounds like a load of shit, certainly not “Bravo two zero”, by andy mcnabb.

Hahahahhahahha Hahahahahhaa Tards
“Pipe dreams” call it what it is “Failed illegal annexing” , argtard assholes.
Will try and get hold of it, sounds interesting. If I'd been at the Festival I'd have asked the author what he thought of Argentina today and Cristina
Aug 28th, 2012 - 11:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentine dreams about the Falklands are based on propaganda. As soon as the Argentine people realise this fact they will be able to accept the reality: The Falklands are British.

Walts. Shhhh.
Non - fictional accounts of war are ALWAYS much, much better than fictional stories. They are a lot more compelling and much more moving.
Aug 28th, 2012 - 05:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You would all do well to read “Forgotten voices of the Falklands” by Hugh McManners ( a veteren of the conflict ). There is a proper, heart - wrenching account of the war.
come on chaps it was sarcasm,I take it theres no alan partridge fans in the house??

Well those maps really prove a lot, So this means that any map with Spanish on it means the land belongs to Argentina, what a joke. They had better start claiming 90% of the world, oh dear they make me laugh :)
