Disclaimer & comment rulesWhy is he in Brazil? I thought that CFK said that all of South America was united in Argentina's colonial ambitions?
Sep 27th, 2012 - 04:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh wait, I forgot. Brazil is a sensible country that likes international trade as it can make them lots of money. Well I suppose those ships the UK are building for Brazil and obviously JCB's, which will no doubt be sold across South America, making lots of money, and increased employment for Brazilians.
CFK you should take a leaf out of Dilma's book.
Yes, Cameron will sign £100m worth of business contracts before he leaves. Good for the UK and good for Brazil. Trade = wealth.
Sep 27th, 2012 - 05:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0is he planning to visit the islands (Malditas) and meet with the 3,000 folkloosers?

Employments and knowlegments for Brazilians! We need this! If England offer this, so Brazil will be a partnership for England. But, only buy UK products is a bad business. Wealth for all peoples, not only for EU or USA!

try Again please..
Sorry. I will go write in portuguese. If you want understand, go to google translator, because i dont know to write in english: “ Emprego e conhecimento tecnológico para nós brasileiros! Nós precisamos muito disso! Se a Inglaterra nos oferece isso, então o Brasil será parceiro da Inglaterra. Mas, somente comprar produtos ingleses é um mau negócio. As riquezas devem ser partilhadas entre todos os povos, e não se concentrar somente na União Européia e nos Estados Unidos.”

But only buy British products is a bad deal. The wealth should be shared among all people, and not focus only on European Union and the United States. “
Is this what you meant to say,
One will try to answer,
[just an opinion you understand]
1, England offers us this, then Brazil will partner England.
[ it is great Britain, or British, ] not English,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
2, But only buy British products is a bad deal
[Why]
3, The wealth should be shared among all people, and not focus only on European Union and the United States. ”
Great Britain now gives 12 billion in foreign aid,
You seem to be under the impression that all the wealth is European or American, it is not,
Does this help..

Sep 27th, 2012 - 07:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A visit was only to be expected following the the Brazilians visit to the 2012 Olympics. I would think the invitation was extended then and as the PM was currently at the UN, this seems to be the most appropriate and convenient time for such a visit. I hope the talks prove of mutual benefit to both countries.

So be it. These are private ventures anyway. The UK is far from achieving the kind of trade that Argentina currently enjoys with Brazil. Brazil even has the benefit of a favorable trade surplus to go along. Trade with Argentina is expected to increase even more next year, as healthier trade environment is expected. Argentina is even replacing the USA as Brazil's second trading partner after China, if it hasn't happened already.

2ndly, because Argentina has made it clear we don't want any relations with the UK, since you have nothing to offer us whatsoever in any field or category.
Good luck to your relations with that country.
“he had been unable to explain the meaning of Magna Carta”
Sep 28th, 2012 - 12:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0Wow, what a dangerously inept PM. Despite profoundly disagreeing with his policies the funny thing is I actually wouldn't have expected that of him! But interesting he wants to trade with Brazil, a sensible idea to be sure, maybe he'll come round to the view that sticking Britains finger in South America's eye isn't so clever...
I think that this story highlights a number of facts about the Brazilian / UK relationship. First is just how small the bilateral trade is, even when compared to other EU countries.
Sep 28th, 2012 - 01:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Another significant point is that it is the Prime Minister of the UK going to Brazil, not the President of Brazil going to the UK. This is, of course, how it should be. In any case it is very wise for the President of Brazil to avoid going to the UK. We all know that Brazilians in the UK run a real risk of being gunned down by hysterical UK Military Police.
“We all know that Brazilians in the UK run a real risk of being gunned down by hysterical UK Military Police.”

@29
Sep 28th, 2012 - 02:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0With Europe and the USA societies in utter freefall, you are seeing a surge of racism
- in the UK (as seen above, and the riots, and the shooting)
- in France (deporting Roma, banning headcarfs, now they want to ban yamakas)
- in Germany (nazi terrorcells murdering immigrants and police ignoring)
- in Italy (rounding up black africans randomly and one town banning them)
-in Spain (beating immigrant girl on train, countless abuses of immigrants)
-in the USA (mass shootings, persecution of foreigners, anti-immigrant laws both legal and not, visas, etc)
- Netherlands (Wilders and the mass shooting recently at an ethnic mall)
-Norway (Brevik)
-Switzerland (banning mosques)
-Portugal (doubling penalties on non-portuguese for even traffic tickets)
Let's not even get to the racism in Japan, China, and Korea.
They are decaying societies which Argentin, a far more evolved society with far more religious, ethnic, racial, and sexual tolerance should avoid at all costs. They claim to be the first world but they are execrable cultures with no sense of morality and can't speak the truth.
So, whats exactly is doing a PM of uk in Brasil ?

LOL i lve listening to all these rg's try and convince themselves that life in usa & UK is not another world above their own standards .. Racism problems in the uk .. Excuse me TIT I live in Leicester (city in england) and our population is 1 million 50% white 50% ethnic minority and we work and play side by side and all enjoy a higher quality of life then your tinpot country could ever hope to achieve. pulling off single you tube videos may help create an argie proper-gander version of the world that may make you feel better but has no placement in reality. The UK is a tolerant and excepting place providing you are prepared to work for your up keep and obey the laws of the land. We are not country full of hatred for other countries and continents liker argentina but i guess that's because we have nothing to hate for really, we enjoy good lives in a great country. The Fact people like TiT hate this so much makes me feel even luckier to be born in such a great nation ;)
Sep 28th, 2012 - 06:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0@31 You know exactly why he is there he, because he was obviously ferkin invited to open a factory which will employ and give jobs to Brazilians and Brits back home and bring in £100 million in business to Brazil, nice.

Hosestly some of you are frankly so ferkin jealous you embarass yourself.
Just watched a piece on his visit on sky news, signed contracts so far for £70 million and could sign further deals worth £250 million for Oympic related business. The man is doing what he was elected to do.

I spend a lot of time in Argentina so I can speak about some things from experience, you, however need to see some things with your own eyes and if you still feel the same way then you at least will have a little more credibility to back yourself up.

What does it prove?
That Brazil fully supports CFK,??
Or brazil will do what brazil wants to do,, and it has nothing to do with argentina.
Brazil and the UK are just countries with illusions of self-grandeur. That's all there is. And because Argentina doesn't bat an eye-lash that Cameron or Dilma don't come to Argentina, it offends them because they want to feel coveted.

Sep 29th, 2012 - 04:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0I wrote on this site years ago that there was huge opportunity for UK trade with Brasil - particularly in INFRASTRUCTURE and EDUCATION. Naturally, there is always need for DEFENCE, and the UK has huge capacity to provide Brasil with the tools and skills needed for her to defend herself.
Sep 29th, 2012 - 09:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0This guidance was passed through the official ambassadorial channels also.
The Olympics has been the catalyst to break the uneasy log-jams of Menendes, of TFI, of Mercosur/EU. World-scale success with the whole world watching is an amazing breaker-of-log-jams.
Bi-lateral deals is the way to go .... at least until Mercosur countries can agree on First world standard protocols for trade deals between blocs, and this could be a VERY long time coming. Then there has to be assurances that they will be stuck to by all countries signing the deals ... this could take even longer for certain countries.
I am massively pleased that JCB is in there and will build factories for its products in Brasil.
[Caterpillar (USA), JCB's major competitor, has manufactured in Brazil since 1954,with a product range including world class hydraulic excavators, compactors, wheel loaders, motor graders, backhoe loaders and crawler tractors, as well as tools and special accessories for their equipment. Recent plans include new factories in Brasil for backhoe and small wheel loaders.]
There is a HUGE need for *advanced* road construction across this massive sub-continental country. A country-wide world-class infrastructure - including whole new towns and cities - is just waiting to begin. The UK/EU can help this, as can China and the USA, etc.
Dilma can strip away the horrendous Brasilian barriers to trade of this scale.
I believe she is one of the few people in the Brasilian establishment with the skills and focussed drive to make this happen.
