Nov 05th, 2012 - 01:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yet another example of the desperate attempt by AG to fool the world.
Heh Ho. They should be out of the G20 within 12 months.
In the words of my french missus 'pppffffft'.
Nov 05th, 2012 - 01:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The G20; you might as well go complain to the IMF. Oh wait, they are conspiring against you. But hang on a minute... G20... 84.4% of the worlds GDP... probably have a good say in the way the IMF is run...
How many of the G20 countries have outstanding complaints to the IMF, etc against RGland?
Fools.

Nov 05th, 2012 - 02:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Can any of your 192 in IQ explain to me what IMF has to do with the vulture fonds?
142 tard. They have very little to do with the IMF, the G20 has everything to do with the IMF, and Argentina are naughty boys and girls who have the IMF wagging their fingers at them. You would do as much good complaining to the IMF as you have to the G20 - ie. they will quietly snigger making funny little remarks to each other while some RG representative beats his chest and does the Tarzan cry.
Nov 05th, 2012 - 02:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How many of the G20 members have outstanding complaints against Argentina? Any point whinging to them then? Save some money on the hotel/food/travel expenses/wages of your representative and go home with your shame on your shoulders. Job done.
Lorenzino says:
Nov 05th, 2012 - 02:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“all countries should pay attention”
Why? Because Argentina is now a victim?
How much attention did Argentina pay before it directly affected them?
Whereas, EU nations (UK in particular) have taken action in the past to stop vulture funds attacking 3rd world countries.
Argentina whining to the G20 is a bit like a thief calling the police after some bailiffs repossess his stolen goods. Turkeyneck and her minions have no shame or dignity.

I urge Argentina to place a import tax of over 50% on nations giving support and refuge to vulture funds, Let the nations decide if they will settle for a one time pay day or gain a strategic partner.

You know what, I did find ALEX VARGAS !!
He is difficult to track down. He doesn't actually live in Argentina. I'm sure you know him well, he was previously an Argentine who has lived in Toronto for many years.
He didn't give out his address for some reason, but I came across him giving a blowjob to another homeless man near an Argentine deli in North York, a grotty borough of Metro Toronto. I recognised him because he was wearing an Argentine flag and wiping up the 'mess' and blowing his nose with it. You were right, he is a homosexual - you know him very well.

Nov 06th, 2012 - 12:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“We think a 50% tax on all imports coming into Argentina from nations giving help and refuge to vulture funds ”
Hey pirate, why don't you impose a 500% import tax resulting in no defence related imports?
Then in opposition to shiplaunching ceremonies in the UK,(where the ships go into service) the Argentine Navy could have a special ship scrapping ceremony , where CFK smashes abottle of Argentine wine on the ships hull before they are sunk in the South Atlantic, but near to the Falklands so that you can make another half baked reason for claiming them for being near to your ships.
And when your import tax has screwed up the FAA and the aircraft are unserviceable you could set up a few aircraft museums.
That might leave you with some infantry which the FIDF could p1ss all over in any case.
Also you might have problems importing other goods as your country isn't exactly the most prolific of manufacturers.
At least then the UK forces would be able to de-militarise the South Atlantic apart from the odd sub to make sure you don't launch any rowing boats against the islands.
#21 self defence is a legal argument when you consider the threat to Argentina from UK missile test in islands Malvinas Argentina. Specially now that our navy is having this problems, we can use a nuclear “defence” program.

And don't forget that I rather have coca cola run Islas Malvinas Argentina. Then some no name corporate from UK.

UK 'is owed £800m in weapons loans'
Nov 06th, 2012 - 07:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Egypt is repaying £12m a year on defence loans of just over £100m
Argentina ,, was lent more than £50m to pay for defence equipment, including £45m which was loaned in 1979 to buy equipment later used in the invasion of the Falkland Islands. Argentina has debts to the UK totalling £130m but has made no repayment arrangements.
Iraq was shown to owe £5.5m for equipment
Zimbabwe had been loaned £35m for five Hawk jets between 1989 and 1992.

@33 Briton Then I demand we go and put a 50% tax on something, somewhere, to pay for the £130M that AG has stolen.

Nov 06th, 2012 - 11:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“I don't know if you understand what building a nuclear defence program 100% made in Argentina means”
It means you have a vivid imagination but nil powers of factual logic.
If you launched a nuclear weapon at the Falklands (after the 100 years it would take for you to make the decision to do it, let alone actually build anything), a Sea Viper missile would be able to destroy the missile before it left Argentine airspace with disasterous consequences for your country.
“self defence is a legal argument when you consider the threat to Argentina from UK missile test in islands Malvinas Argentina.”
The threat to Argentina (nearly 400 miles away from the Falkland Islands) from a missile with a range of 4 miles that is designed to hit aircraft, not ground targets) is by virtue of the mathematics that you don't quite get, is nil.
You need to learn your 4 X table which perhaps for you would be an insurmountable challenge.
Have you got a kindergarten you could visit in Canada?
Agreed lol.

The judgement by the Ghanaians to dismiss the AG claims against Singer was thoroughly reported on MP, in BsAs Herald and Clarin.
We had a real laugh with the Malvanistas who thought that if they said it was wrong, then that was it.
The only thing I am concerned about is that Singer could have applied for a Warrant of Possession, given that TMBOA disavowed the ship, without waiting for the 90 days to pass. Perhaps he is just being the nice guy we know him to be!

@39 Guzz
Nov 08th, 2012 - 10:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0What is it with you?
You accuse me of bashing AG for the sake of it: I do it because TMBOA REALLY makes life uncomfortable for the Falklanders ALL for her personal purposes.
As for Singer, he has a legal right to do what he does for a living. AG decided to issue the bonds and knew they could not sell them without waiving sovereign immunity. Then THEY defaulted and decided the bondholders should lose their money.
If AG thinks they will beat Singer (and Dart) then they are really delusional. He could lose all the money he invested in the bonds without feeling it, so he has nothing to lose by harrying TMBOA and her gang of juvenile crooks. He has a large team of professional debt recovery specialists and the best lawyers money can buy.
Singer has no need of my support, he’s doing alright as it is. AG will eventually have to settle, mark my words.
The day a Chinese Singer does the same to the UK, you will come up with some good founded excuses as to why it is ok to vulture on Argentina, but not on the UK.
Nov 08th, 2012 - 02:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Stop defending hedge fonds only to bash Argentina. The whole world agrees on that buying unpaid bonds for patacones in order to make money on defaults is morally wrong. Heck, your beloved UK is at the front trying to stop this way of making profit...
