Dec 03rd, 2012 - 11:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0I assume that you are referring to the BP/Gulf Mexico oil spill. If you are, what does this have to do with the Falklands?

Dec 03rd, 2012 - 12:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It has nothing to do with the Falklands, except that the Malvinista's will make insulting innuendos that any oil extraction around the Falklands will be doomed to repeat the Gulf of Mexico incident, because all British oil companies are incompetent like that, according to them.

How sad...
@6 I'm sorry, I disagree. I think it very important that argies are able to stand on their beaches to watch Falklands oil being shipped off to places where it will pay the Islanders billions of dollars. The argie government should take the remaining time available to it to galvanise its construction industry and build very tall observation galleries. After all, a person 6 foot in height will have a horizon only 3 miles away. Galleries will need to be at least 100 feet in height in order to have a chance of seeing the tankers passing by outside territorial waters. Escorted by warships to avoid “interference”.

Interesting article, what is even more interesting is the fact that Seabourn Sojourn is at this moment in the port of Montevideo, being attended by our very good friends the Urugyans!!!!!
This is another proof that CFK's shouting about South American solidarity really means that South Americans, except for the Argentine government, know on which side their bread is buttered!!!!!
If they keep this up, the only people who are going to suffer will be those Argentine people who depend on the tourist trade to make a part of if not all of their living. It does not make sense, no one in real terms will suffer, except those people.
Dec 04th, 2012 - 02:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Certainly, no cruise operator is going to risk their staff, or in the extreme case, paying passengers.
There is also the more sensible question, why would anyone pay, for some people what is a lot of money, to visit a place where they are clearly not welcome?
I'll say it again, the only people to loose out from this, will be Argentinian. I would suspect the operators are already looking around for alternate venues to visit.
