“CFK “ St Helena is ours”

Yes-of course the South Atlantic is now part of continental South America to Argentina-next stop for Imperialist/colonialist Argentina(in their fantasies)-Falkland Islands South Georgia, Antarctica, Tristan da Cunha, St Helena, Gough Island ,South Africa followed by the Argentine conquistadors seeking world domination, using the excuse, 'The English did it 100s of years ago so we are copying our English idols....

I am surprised CFK doesn't claim the US as being on the same continental shelf as they have documents going back to 2,000bc

That's what CFK will actually achieve as opposssed to what she says.
Perhaps right now as punishment for letting the 'Liberty' loose its liberty, Timidman and PutridJelly are at this very moment tied up and being whipped, straddled over a 'Pamper' Jet trainer.......

I'd pay good money to be able to use a cat o' nine tails on the pair of them, with a bonus for putting a 0.45acp in the back of their heads.

Be kinder in the long run! LOLs

@4 Vectis, you may be joking, but in 1818 Argentina did briefly claim Alta California (what is now California, Nevada, Arizona, western Colorado and southwestern Wyoming).

By the same logic as some of their other claims, I wonder how long it'll be before they start clamouring for the return of that “integral part of their national territory” that they haven't actually owned for almost the last 200 years...

Almost right but they didn't own it then either.

#1 I wouldn't mind Cameron keeping St Helena. In fact I'm very much for Cmeron staying in St Helena forever =) (Come on guys, I'm dissapointed no-one made the Napoleon reference to Cristina already!)

#3 But she's much more beautiful than any porn star, and her political domination would be a good thing for the world =)

#8 On what grounds? And what about the territory in between? Seems like an urban myth to me...
