The Argentine blockade can’t stop the Falkland Islands and “if Argentina believes that these aggressions are going to change the mind and spirit of the Islanders, they are dead wrong, much on the contrary”, said Falklands’ lawmakers currently visiting Guatemala on a tour of Central America and Mexico.

    “if Argentina believes that these aggressions are going to change the mind and spirit of the Islanders, they are dead wrong, much on the contrary”

    Everyone else knows this, it's just Argentina that hasn't caught on to the idea yet. Talk about ignoring the elephant in the room LOL.

    Me thinks that ignoring the Falkland Islanders themselves just got harder for KFC and her “yes” men.

    No matter how much your government shouts, cries and stamps it's foot, it can't stop the Islanders from telling the rest of the world the truth.

    You can try and shout loudly in the hopes of drowning them out, but the Falkland Islanders have discovered that they have a voice, and that voice is loud, clear and concise. Argentina's voice has been reduced to a pathetic whimper by CFK and her gang of inept bullies, that no one even bothers listening to anymore.

    I think that's stretching it a bit. They are rather helped by having a tiny population and massive natural resources. They'll be the Kuwait of the Southern hemisphere when the oil money starts rolling in. Hope they don't follow their fashion too. They'll have sheets blowing all over the islands.

    The Argentine bullying, lies and distortions are becoming ever more clear to the rest of South America and indeed the world with regards to their claims and treatment of the Falkland Islands. As the islands gather voice and respect, Argentina is growing weak and even more pathetic, as demontrated by Marcos. Its not too late, denounce your past Argentina and kick out the muppett show led by CFK, learn the truth and accept the validity of the Falkland Islands and you might begin to climb the greasy pole of respect again.

    Anyone that is entitled to vote in the Falklands is also entitled to stand in elections. Do Argentine legislators all have to be born and bred in Argentina? Sounds a bit prejudiced to me.

    “The UN has never ever referred to us as people enjoying the right of self determination. The UN does not even keep into account our wishes, but we don't care. Because we don't give a dime what the UN says. We don't behave democratically in the international arena. We rule. And we do what we want because we can.

    Yeah it does rather smack of desperation.

    It is noticeable that the pro-malvenas(wjatever) posters get very desperate whenever the Falklands people speak up for themselves.

    They are, however, following the official Argentine Government fiction of denying that the Falklands Islanders even exist; a policy that is rather floundering the more the FI's get out there and speak their case.

    I would regard posts such as those form Marcus and Islas Malvenas as proof-positive of a plan that is not only working but deeply worrying the Argentine Government...and even their paid supporters.

    @10 Ha ha ha!

    Sounds a bit lame. Very lame, in fact!

    We notice that you've stopped arguing about the FACTS! The most impoertant of which is that 322 years of history shows that argieland has NO valid claim. On your current desperate idea, you could do a bit of useful research. Go around the world and find out how many members of all the different legislatures were born in a different country. Until you can do that, your point, like your claim, will have no validity. Not that we'll believe you. Because all argies ALWAYS lie.
    It is, of course, true that it may take a year or two to counteract 179 years of argie lies, but since you continue to lie, it won't take that long. A couple of years to expose all your lies. Including all the lies you've told to the UN.

    And you should try reading Article 55 of the UN Charter!

    @10 - “two government officials are non-elected and designed by the Crown. Legislative Assembly: 8 out of 13 members are born in the UK!!!”

    Lol - look at CFK where were her parents born? Oh thats right one in spain and one in germany, that makes your own president 1st generation implanted member of the argentine population, by your logic argentina is a puppet of germany and spain. The same could be said of nester, the son of a woman of chilean of croation descent and of father of swiss-german descent. So how come they were allowed to be presidents of argentina. Well each country has their own laws, some allow those born outside of the country and of different nationality to run for prime minister or president after becoming a national of that country, others do not allow it unless you were born of the same nationality. The falklands legislative members are according to falklands islands own laws allowed to run for election if they have been their look enough and are a falklands national. If i were to goto live in the falklands right now i would not be allowed to vote or run for election until a certain period of time has passed where i have been in full permanent resident of the islands. That my friend is how true democracy works, you have to earn the right to vote and to run for election first if your not originally from the country.

    You keep whining about how they were born in the UK, yet forget about all those argentine lawmakers and politicians that were born outside of argentina. Talk about being a dam hypocrite.

    I stopped reading post #10 at this point: 'Legislative Assembly: 8 out of 13 members are born in the UK!!!'

    There are only 8 MLAs in the Falklands. More Argentine fantasy and falsehoods.

    Dick Sawle born UK long term Falkland Island resident
    Dr Barry Elsby born UK long term Falkland Island resident
    Mike Summers born Falkland Islands
    Gavin Short born Falkland Islands
    Jan Cheek born Falkland Islands
    Roger Edwards born UK long term Falkland Island resident
    Sharon Halford born Falkland Islands
    Ian Hansen born Falkland Islands

    All of the above have been democratically elected by those entitled to vote in the Falkland Islands. They were chosen on their merit from those people who decided to (and were entitled to) stand for election. Their country of birth has nothing to do with their ability to represent the people of the country where they live. And that applies to any country in the world that holds free and transparent elections as we do here in the Falklands.

    In which index would that ranking be?

    According to this one, the UK was ranked fourth most positively viewed country out of the 16 examined (counting the EU as one) world-wide, albeit with some interesting changes since previous years.

    The figures are probably skewed, however, in that they don't have seem to have specially sought out rabid anglophobes or even xenophobes such as yourself, and the opinion of Argentina does not seem to have been sought.

    Interesting to note the high positive figures in former British colonies, with the exception of Pakistan, and we all know why that is.

    So there we are, not quite the Evil Empire you'd like us to be, and not quite the Vatican we never claimed to be either.

    “The Malvinas are no longer a colony, is an overseas territory in full exercise of our right to self-determination, and that is how we are to remain. The British government is very clear on this, support self-determination and will do until we tell. This has been the official policy of the governments of the United Kingdom since 1982, ”he added Sawle.

    It's amazing how they lie. The committee considers UN decolonization to the Falkland Islands as a colony. Of the 16 cases of colonialism in the world, 10 are for the UK they are: Anguilla, Bermuda, Gibraltar, the Mlavinas Islands, Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands, Monserrat Island, Pitcairn Island and St. Helena Island.
    Just look at any web page concerning the decolonization committee of United Nations refers to are a colony.
    Besides the UN resolutions are referred to a colony.
    See 2065 (XX) of 1965, ratified by later resolutions 1973 (3160, XXVIII) 1976 (31/49), 1982 (37/9), 1983 (38/12), 1984 (39/6), 1985 (40/21), 1986 (41/40), 1987 (42/19) and 1988 (43/25). They all declare the existence of a sovereignty dispute. No self-determination. It is a territory to colonize.

    There is no doubt the UN has listed the Falklands as a non self-governing territory of the UK. But the fact is that we have our own Government and democracy that decides everything to do with the Falklands, therefore we are self-governing and thus not a colony.

    Raul, what you also fail to realise is that if Argentina did control the Falklands, then it WILL be a colony of Argentina. The Falklands will be administered from Argentina against the wishes of the people that live in the islands. The very definition of a colony. So tell me, if you are completely against your theory that the Falklands are a colony of Britain, why do you support the islands becoming a colony of Argentina?

    TTT, the Falklands aren't demanding cooperation in the South Atlantic. FIG and the MLAs are just stating that there is no cooperation because Argentina has pulled out of agreements. The statements are more to do with the irresponsibility of the Argentine Government and their contempt towards the South Atlantic eco-system. I fail to see what your inane questions have to do with my comment TTT. The Falklands has its territorial waters just like any other territory, we are no different. The waters are administered and controlled by the Falkland Islands Government.

    Jesus, get your facts and figures right before posting. Let me correct you, there are 42 million Argentines in your neighborhood 95% of them are of foreign European decent and only the minority of them are 8th-9th generation the rest being 7-1st generation. As the majority of the Falkland islanders are also 9th and 8th generation then you Argentineans have no right to claim the Falkland islanders islands. As the islanders have been their just as long as the minority of you Argentines have been in Argentina. Not to mention that fact that it prior to 1880, Argentina's southern border was on the northern edge of Patagonia and therefore thousands of miles from the islands. Hence why your continental shelf argument is flawed, as you did not have that territory from which your continental shelf extends from till the 1910's and therefore can not claim land that has belonged to other people from since 1765 when we first claimed the islands, claim we never ceded.

Argentina will lose their rediculous claim over the Falklands (there are STILL no Malvinas) in March 2013.

    What Argentina fears is ( that the MLA's for years have been too introspective and allowed the Argentines to say inchallenged what they like about the Falklands) and are now out there to challenge Argentina's innacurate perception of history and distorted interpretation of the UN charter.

    At last the MLA's have come out of hibernation and telling the world the truth about the Falklands.

    This year involving Mike Summers facing the world's press at the United Nations was WAY WAY overdue but Argentina's recent belligerence has released the cat out of the bag as the MLA's justify their position to the world. If Argentina had kept quiet the world would be more inclined to believe their one-sided story but now the genie is out of the bottle, or the wasps are swarming out of the nest, whatever metaphor is chosen.

    The world's people now can look forward to a two sided view as I hope the MLA's will attend more South American events, UN events and get their asses on more TV interviews around the world.

    The Argentines, by blockading the Falklands, have ensured there is less likelihood of votes in the referendum to select Argentine sovereignty.

    They can wail all they like about whatever will result, but despite their likely action of burying their head in the sand and ignoring the result, the islanders will continue to increase influence, steadily and surely.

    ”“The UN has never ever referred to us as people enjoying the right of self determination. The UN does not even keep into account our wishes, but we don't care. Because we don't give a dime what the UN says. We don't behave democratically in the international arena. We rule. And we do what we want because we can. So you respect the self determination WE understand e have, or we'll bomb you. That's it”.

    Isolde is right, Malvina is a Gaelic Scottish name meaning beautiful brow or forehead.

    Perhaps you are not as Scottish as you would have everyone believe.

    However, the point is that Argentina can no longer pedal it's lies on the international stage, because the Falklanders will always be there to refute their claims. Argentina's attempts to blockade the Islands has shown the world what Argentine 'peace' really is - aggression.

    And when the referendum is held next year, it's over for Argentina's erroneous claims, and the muppets in charge already know this. Hence they're running around trying to discredit the result of a referendum that hasn't even happened yet.

    The name Malvina comes from Celtic or German origin and is often translated as “breathing sweetness from her eyes”. It may come from the Scots Gaelic words maol mhìn, meaning “beautiful face/forehead”. The name as Malwine could be show its origins from the German mal win ovvero “friend of justice” or “the one who protects laws”.

    When the hotel changed hands about 8 years ago the new owners considered changing the name but in the end stayed with what they had. If my memory serves me correctly they even had a competition for people to choose potential new names.

    I would imagine that the islanders didn't feel so threatened in the 1880s, given the treaty of perfect friendship signed in 1850 and the absence of any protest from Buenos Aries. Galtieri wasn't born until 1926, and it appears the Malvinista cult only arose some time after that again. So no special significance to calling your daughter Malvina and then naming your hotel after her.

    The only other use of the name I am aware of is Argentine Olympian Carola Malvina López Rodríguez, named by her father in honour of the 1982 invasion (http://442.perfil.com/2012-08-10-144897-malvina-queria-triunfar-en-londres/).

    There is no doubt ... that the UN has listed the Falklands as a non self-governing territory of the United Kingdom.

    Totally false. Just read the Resolution 2065 of the UN to realize that is a territory to colonize and Decolonization Committee resolutions of the UN.

    .... But the fact is that we have our own government and democracy that decides everything to do with the Falklands, so they are autonomous and therefore not a colony ....

    Totally false and irrelevant. They can not be British in Argentine territory. The specificity of the Malvinas is that the United Kingdom occupied the islands by force in 1833, expelled the original population and did not allow their return, thus violating the territorial integrity of Argentina. Therefore, the possibility remains of the principle of self-determination, as its exercise by the islanders, cause the “disruption of the national unity and territorial integrity” of Argentina. In this regard it should be noted that Resolution 1514 (XV) “Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples” in the sixth paragraph states that “Any attempt aimed at the partial or total disruption of the national unity and territorial integrity of a country is incompatible with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. ”

    ... So tell me, if you are totally against his theory that the Falklands are a colony of Britain, why support the islands become a colony of Argentina? .....

    This profoundly wrong. They can not be British in Argentine territory. The islands are now usurped and occupied by British colonial administration in 1833. The concept of colonialism is caused by illegal British occupation in 1833. They can never become a colony Argentina. Repair is national unity and territorial integrity of Argentina. To restore to the original owners of the islands (Argentina) is being met with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. Thank you very much.

    On the official website of the Decolonization Committee of the UN is very clear in its resolutions.

    1 - All development, analysis, facts and evidence was studied and analyzed by the committee of the UN decolonization. And in doing so had access to documents and evidence of many Argentine and British. This occurred prior to resolution 2065 (XX) of 1965, ratified by later resolutions. Finally the commission ruled in favor of the Argentine arguments. It was found that a sovereignty dispute. In reaching this conclusion was based on several arguments. Among them, the expulsion of 1833 again in the committee comprovado descolonizción UN in its resolution of 14 June 2012.

    2 - You Tenee into account the historical and social processes of the time in 1833 that is where the conflict arises sovereignty. No self-determination. Historical evidence is inconclusive. The conflict developed in the context of colonialism and imperialism that continues today English more diminished. Example: humanitarian bombing civilians in Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as economic colonialism.

    When you hear the Syrians lecture about human rights then you know it's “game over”. Argentina (via the extraordinary personal visit of CFK) had no business hi-jacking the committee to try and publicise a sovereignty dispute (and was told as such by the chair prior to the meeting - there is an item about it in MercoPress). After the referendum, the Falklands will have nothing more to do with C24 - it is out dated. “Decolonization” should be replaced with the term “self determination” - then we'd all be happy wouldn't we? ;-)

    I'm sure you'll agree it would be shocking if it turned out that the UN was misled back in the 1960s, that could invalidate your whole case. And I'm sure you'de be embarassed yourself if it turned ut you'de been inadvertently propagating falsehoods on mercopress. I'm sure you wouldn't want that to happen.

    And speaking of negotiation and the UN could you tell me if the Argentine position has evolved any since this :

    “Argentinean Sovereignty over the Malivinas is not negotiable. That is the starting point of negotiation.” (Dante Caputo, Argentine Foreign Minister, 13 November, 1983. Quoted in House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, 1983-4, Report, Vol. 2, p 149)

    If this is still the Argentine line, please explain also what “negotiation” means in Argentina, since it seems to have a different meaning there from that commonly understood in the rest of the world.

    Who said Argentina wants to stop the fakland island company ? in any case they stopped in Guatemala by themselves and all Argentines urge them to keep going all the way back to UK. Why go half way and blame Argentina? “Bon voyage.” I guess the british politicians fear some Argentine latino will take over Malvinas while they are vacationing and squandering Malvinas Argentina wealth in Guatemala. This SOBS are disgusting

    Ahhh! Are you feeling a bit upset Mr Hunter? Does it annoy you that every attempt made by Argentina and its government has failed miserably to challenge the islands in any way? Invasion, suppression, isolation etc. All failures and the islands are still British. No doubt that you will reply with some comment aimed at pedophile and other nonsense because you cant come up with a response as you know the truth.

    @183 Troy Tempest,
    l'm sure that Soozy isn't the full quid.
    Maybe the Argentine secret service has wound her up just to see what damage she can do.
    Actually she gives the impression that she doesn't care about the Falklands in the same way that the malvinistas do.
    Wackjob.

    Just a point, if we are all gay, where do all the babies come from ?
    My rudimentary understanding of Biology is that it takes a male and female to produce offspring. Do they do this differently in Argentina?
    Did that well known German immigrant, Dr. Mengele come up with a new method.
    If your idea of “fun” is casinos and easy money, then it proves how shallow you are.
    Take and give nothing back.

    If you are interested you can use Google Earth to see a street view of the address. It looks pretty average to me.

    @185 Clyde

    Notice the surroundings Clyde. It is located in a Light Industrial Commercial area. If you look up and down the street, it is surrounded by a warehouse, railway tracks, a storage yard, trailer park, an 'adult' porn shop , a police station, and a few rundown houses behind those.
    Definitely below average.
    Then read the reviews in the link - poorly maintained and bug infested, the building is full of drug dealers too.

    Sussie insists he lives here. If true, it's a far cry from “the good life”. If he actually lives in BA, where his posts seem to emanate from, according to Zhivago, then he is lying about living in the US

    Sussie and Ozzy Sunshine have been very quiet today.

    Perhaps they are getting a good cuff over the back of the head at a Motivational Meeting with La Campora!

    However, we can still see Sussie/2012 on TV, dressed as CFK
