Oct 17th, 2012 - 06:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0Tell me, how many Amerindians did your ancestors murder? Oh that's right, nearly all of them.
Argentina will no doubt complain to the UN that the UK is increasing its military presence on the island, because the Duke of Kent used to be in the Army and still is the honorary Colonel of the Scots Guards, the Colonel in Chief of the Royal Regiment of Fusillers, the Royal Coloel of the 1st Bn the Rifles, and Colonel in Chief of the Lorne Scots Regiment in Canada. He is also an honorary Air-Vice Marshall.
Oh, the Argentines will be shaking in their boots. I mean 1st we send an unarmed search and rescue pilot, and now we are sending a retired soldier!
By the way Argentine posters. It's no business of yours where our Royals visit, especially when it's our own territory.
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
The Duke has a true face of a Brit, a face only a mother could love...

Oct 17th, 2012 - 02:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You can teal something that belongs to you.
Argentina tried to steal the islands, just like Argentina stole YPF from Repsol, just like Argentina stole money from investors, just like Argentina stole money from its own people's pension schemes.
Argentina's actions equal thieves and pirates.
It must just make you so mad to know that you will never be able to steal the Falklands. It must make you angry to know that next year the international community will ratify the Falkland Islands referendum on status making your chances of every getting your thieving hands on the Falklands somewhere been slim and none.
The whole world laughs at your countries representatives as they continuously embarrass your country. You must be so proud of them.
I am proud of my country, beyond those in power.
Oct 17th, 2012 - 03:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Referendum on the Malvinas Argentinas: “This is a consultation made by British to other British if they want to remain British.” These thieves have no limits ...

@26 For God's sake, why? Could you get a country more anal, belligerent, cheating, cowardly, degenerate, dishonest, faggot-filled, genocidal, illegitimate, mendacious, necrophiliac, paedophiliac, useless, vicious, witless and xenophobic? This you are proud of? What you need to do is to buy a speargun. Load it. Shove it up your arse. Aim it at your ear. Pull the trigger.
A referendum on the Falkland Islands (there are no Malvinas) to demonstrate the strength of feeling of the Islanders? What's your problem? Of course, argies are experts on thieving. As they have thieved so much. Committing murder/genocide at the same time. Can anybody think of a good reason not to fire an arrow or crossbow bolt through the genitals of every argie?
@27 Can anybody think of a good reason not to fire an arrow or crossbow bolt through the genitals of every argie?

To see, to see Conqueror; see why the English are like: take the Google Earth rule from north to south of England .... 600km?. Now let a province of Argentina, for example, Cordoba ... to do with the rule ... 600km! So throughout England as a province of Argentina, are rightly as they are!

They couldn't have been stolen in 1833 as great Britain had a claim on them dating from 1690 by landing and 1765 by settlement .

Oct 17th, 2012 - 06:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Since the Falkland Islanders have lived on their islands longer than Argentina has existed, that makes it theirs. The referendum will leave the international community in no doubt about what they want.
Tell me Jose, which native Amerindian tribe does your name come from? Oh that's right it's a European name from Spain.
Tell me, how many native Amerindians did your ancestors murder? Or did your ancestors arrive in Agentina sometime in the 20 century?
Argentina's sovereignty claims are ludicrous, downright lies. If you had any solid claim you would've taken it to the ICJ on the 3 seperate occasions that the UK asked you to.
You refused because you know your claims are lies with nothing to substantiate them. The British and the Falkland Islanders have that pesky little thing called evidence, which proves Argentina lies.
It's about time you started sorting out Argentina. If Argentina run properly, without corruption, lies and other unsavoury characteristics such as bribery, the Falklanders may have chosen to associate with your country.
But you are just a bunch of national socialist facist thugs who want to steal other people's property and murder them. Argentina today is barely better than the Junta of the 80's, and it is on the slippery slide of returning to those bad old days, yet people like you stand by and applaud it.
It really does beggar belief.

I have said it before, but I must admit that the poor little babies that cry on here really re-inforce the belief that Britain, in all it's manifestations including the present one is light years ahead of anything Argentina has ever done, is presently doing and will ever do.

Oct 18th, 2012 - 12:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0The islanders born in the islands around 1000 and declining (a crowd!), Came after the expulsion of the government and people of Argentina. The other 2000 (another crowd!) “descended” from the European-British islets after traveling 14,000 km, perhaps with the exception of 300 Chileans. Then we have other 3000 soldiers and civilian employees of them in Monte Agradable (NATO bah!) = Treaty Organization NORTH Atlantic. So the referendum is a fraud.
I have no problem, except the logical tired of repeating to the thieves -no so deaf as those who will not hear- the truth history of the islands:
Discovered by Spain (our motherland) in 1501-1502 by Vespuccio. First colonized by the French Bougainville in 1764. Delivered to Spain in 1767 who from that year until 1811 ruled them for 44 years without interruption from Puerto Soledad. Produced Independence Argentina, taking possession on behalf of the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata in 1820. Five Argentine governors until the dispossession of 1833, where the British had to haul down the flag of Argentina and expel the authority designated by Buenos Aires.
The British, who had only been on one little island of Trinidad in 1765 (they did a little fort destroyed by the Spanish), they leave THAT little island in 1774 under the Declaration Masserano. That is only Spain and Argentina ruled the entire Malvinas Islands from Puerto Soledad. It took 59 years! between 1774 and 1833.
48 José Malvinero ”Discovered by Spain (our motherland)” (which is crap) if spain is your motherland, why did you steal Argentina from her? only Argentina could do that!

Oct 18th, 2012 - 09:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0“Came after the expulsion of the government and people of Argentina.”
In 1833 the people on the Islands from Buenos Aires who were civilians (there was NO Argentina in 1833) were allowed to stay not expelled, so you are wrong again.
The truth hurts.
”other 2000 (another crowd!) “descended” from the European-British islets after traveling 14,000 km, perhaps with the exception of 300 Chilean”
Wrong again-150 Gauchos came to live in the Falklands in the mid 1800s to work for Lafone many becoming islanders.
Also there were several people shipwrecked on the Islands who settled on the Falklands, who were not British.
What about the black slaves, (freed by the British in 1833)who stayed on in the islands one dying in 1871? They weren't Britsh either.
The Falkland Islanders, despite Argentina's blatant lies, are not wholly derived from British settlers.
So Jose, wrong, wrong and wrong again.

You Argies love to live in the past don’t you,
Oct 18th, 2012 - 10:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0Listen to an alternative history.
Caesar today announce he was going fishing to find new feeding grounds,
He and his army landed in a strange land, with a few natives running around playing kiss chase,
Caesar decided to conquer this land, kiss the girls and kill everyone else, later they called this land argitena, signed a bit of paper stating this land is ROMAN forever,
Today 2,000 years later, CFK puts in a claim for the old roman treasures that she claimed argelandy is entitles to by deed or arriarse,
CFK now claims all of Italy and all former ROMAN lands and colonies,
Including, most of the Mediterranean countries.
There, ,,,,
Oh sorry I forgot, Caesar never got to the Falklands, as it was guarded by the ancient Britons .lololol.

Oct 18th, 2012 - 02:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Regarding the gauchos, very good! If something is true, is that the Malvinas Argentinas is land GAUCHA and not GRINGA.
In 1833 there were civilians and Argentine military in the islands, and the fact that there gauchos in them, was the need of the usurpers of his great skills with the cattle that had been scattered in field and farm work. The fact that Argentina had remained in the islands, the first shows were populated by Argentines to be Argentine, and second, does not alter the fact the flagrant usurpation. The same English says: as shown, a “button”:
“The British occupation of 1833 was at the time an act of wanton aggression”, Memorandum of the British Foreign Office official, 1946.
Of course, we do not need you to tell the English to know ....!
Not really Jose, I mean Vernet and his people were there with permission from the British government and the “military” were an illigal penal colony that killed their commander.
Oct 18th, 2012 - 03:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@53
Oct 18th, 2012 - 04:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The gauchos like Rivero in 1833 accepted British rule. There were also Swedish, Danish and German settlers,so by your reckoning then all these countries have a claim on the Falklands, oh and Gibraltra and St Helena as well.
It also means because Ushaia was settled by British first, as well as areas of Patagonia settled by Falklands born people in the 1800 s(before settlement by Argentinians) that the UK/Falkland Islands have a territorial claim on Patatgonia.
That would be good news for Southern Argentina as BA can't run a p1ss up in a brewery.
