Murdoch’s The Sun tells Cristina Fernandez “HANDS OFF” the Falklands
In a full page advert published exclusively in Friday’s Buenos Aires Herald, in English and Spanish, leading British tabloid The Sun admonishes President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner with a “Hands off!” from the Falkland Islands, in response to the Argentine president’s letter to Prime Minister David Cameron, published on Wednesday in several British dailies.

Disclaimer & comment rulesIt is a silly and childish stunt but then again it just reflects how silly and childish CFK was in doing the same thing.
Jan 05th, 2013 - 06:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0And the Argies respond by burning copies of The Sun and the Union Jack, in front of Cruise offices (Am not Joking either, its in the news just not on Mercopress) - Guess they don't like. Meanwhile there is no public reaction to CFK's advert, other than the usual roll of the eyes accompanied by a sigh and thoughts of, when are we going to say enough is enough and put these Argentine idiots firmly in their place.

Jan 05th, 2013 - 10:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0And, of course, the other newspapers picked up on the story and reported it.
I think the Argentine plan must be to deter all cruise ships from Argentina; it appears to be working.

As bad as the Sun are, their staff seem to be more aware of actual Falklands history than the so-called intellectual Guardian.

“I hope Murdoch have a good insurance because Queen Cristina can send some SIDE killer to take care of the idiot with a 50 caliber.”
Is Corned Beef Kate, the darling of 'Junta Pirate Radio' from 1982, still alive then?
“The funny thing is that none Buenos Aires Herald is Newspaper for foreigners English mother tongue.”
The even funnier thing is that you thought the news would not spread to other Argentinian newspapers.
@6
“i remémber oñce Robert Mugawe had said “” UK hands óff ....“” !”
Well I remember that once Zimbabwe was the second wealthiest African country.
It like Argentina, has gone down the 'Everything is Imperialist Britain's' fault route whilst systematically ruining its own economy and killing its own people.
Zimbabwe today is basically a burned out shell with much internal suppression-and guess what? Mugabe and his Mrs have stashed loads of their countrymens's money overseas.
Let's compare with Argentina.
When Argentina had good relations with the UK (we built your railways and meat industry by the way) it was amongst the 5 wealthiest countries in the world, in fact on a par with or richer than the USA.
Since going down the 'Everything is Imperialist Britain's fault' route, Argentina as a nation have nosedived.
In the meantime 30 years ago (ie that's more recent than the 19th c.)they also managed to massacre their own people.
Although they are not as burned out as Zimbabwe, guess what? Their great leaders have stashed their countrymen's cash abroad as well.
Similar themes eh Tipsythink?

Jan 05th, 2013 - 12:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Let's hope her paper is not the next on KFC's radar.
@4 Got some suicide squads, has she? And do you realise that such an action would be a “casus belli”? Perfectly reasonable, after such a war crime, for us to turn Buenos Aires into rubble. You do understand what cruise missiles from Royal Navy submarines and Royal Air Force combat aircraft could do, don't you? And, you never know, we might be so upset that a Vanguard-class submarine might launch a missile or two of its own. Are you and P_H connected? You're beginning to sound as stupid as he does!
Jan 05th, 2013 - 02:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@9 I understand your thought BUT the advertisement from The Sun makes a point. The views expressed are not just those of the British government, but also those of the majority of the British people. CFK should not make the mistake of thinking Britain is like argieland. WE are quite capable of telling our government when they get it wrong, something argies aren't allowed to do. But any British government that fails to support and defend the Islands will be out of power in days. The people of argieland have no equivalent influence.
well i guess Crustina does not like the taste of her own medicine, however cant help thinking this maybe murdochs way of redeeming himself with the British people, lets just hope this isnt part of his revenge to stoke the fire for the UK....
Jan 05th, 2013 - 03:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0i fear the latter....
I doubt Murdoch gives a flying fig. Generally The Sun will give its' readers what it thinks they want. That is what newspapers do to retain readers. It would have been an editorial decision, not an owner's decision.
Jan 05th, 2013 - 03:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Generally the media showed CFKC as she is, mad, bad and out-of-control. 'Desperate' was a word often used before reporting on all the domestic troubles of Argentina. It puts it all in perspective.
@22 no doubt Crustina is a crazy is wild pig sh*t, but the sun has lost a lot of readers in recent years, but am i glad they did it? hell yes, regardless of their motives it gives the argentine people something to think about, and how they are being distracted, and at worst being led blindly into another conflict they will not win, as for the protests and UK flag burning ive seen bigger angrier crowds in a a taxi que on a saturday night.
Jan 05th, 2013 - 03:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0i just hope theres no backlash by Crustina for Buenos aires herald time will tell.
Back-lash for the BA herald?
Jan 05th, 2013 - 04:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'd say Kirchner is very pleased with the story.
They need to keep stoking the fire you see.
The Buenos Aires Herald is owned by a Kirchner crony, Spolsky, so there will be no backlash.
Jan 05th, 2013 - 04:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is part of the Kirchner end game, keep the plebs watching the Falklands, the cruise ships, and the rest of the conjuring tricks, but make sure they don't see the rise in street crime, the rise in inflation (now at 30%), the rise in unemployment, the rise in poverty (over 22%, up from 8%), the attack on the independence of the judiciary, the attack on the freedom of the press (Ley de Medios), the tightening of the dollar clamp, etc!!!!!!!!!!!
Good to see the Argentinian version of history being publicly contradicted, this is what needs to happen, the Argentinian half-truths, misrepresentations and downright lies need to be challenged and rejected, every time, all the time.
Jan 05th, 2013 - 05:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I suspect that this is actually a pivotal moment in this, because with this and other responses to the CFK letter, many Argentines will for the first time learn what actually the British position is on this matter, rather than what the Argentinian Gov has been telling them the British position is.
Two completely different things.
May not make much difference to what is believed, but they will begin to realise what they are up against, and then that they are losing the argument.
This will also have the effect of focusing world attention on the referendum, absolutely not what the Argentinian administration wants to happen.
The swansong of the Malvinas will, for all practical purposes, become the death knell of Argentinian colonial ambitions in the South Atlantic.
Then there was the Antarctic!!!!!
@4 PummelKopf
I think you will find that Murdock has far more money, and much better security and hit men than Queen Cristina has.
It is her that needs to watch out in that argument, she will be messing way above her league against him.
Well argentina seems to have reacted to the add like the self pitying, impotent crybaby we know it to be by screaming in the streets, burning flags and copies of the BaH, and attacking a ship from the Bahamas under the delusion it was British
Jan 05th, 2013 - 05:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How could any nation have become so utterly pathetic is beyond me, but it seems clear that argentina is more than deserving of the contempt with which it is treated by the rest of the world
And in UK all we had to do was laugh at CFK's ad because we knew it was crap. The intensity which the Argentines took the Sun's ad suggests that the truth hurts-they are angry with themselves.

Considering the small number of islanders, Britain can easily repatriate and resettle them in the British Isles or grant them the so-called British National Overseas (BNO) passports as it did to the former “British subjects” in Hong Kong before and after the 1997 handover of the former British colony to Communist China.....'

But at least some of the far left have done their homework on this issue, see the link below..

Its either sad or encouraging(?) when a so called 'intellectual' paper like the Guardian makes no attempt to examine the history of the Falklands, whereas a paper like the SUN has staff that have actually researched the history. the Sun are brief (as you would expect): 'Tale of Polite Seizure.'
Jan 05th, 2013 - 11:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“A Buenos Aires bid to set up a penal colony there ended in 1832 when soldiers murdered their own commander. John James Onslow, captain of HMS Clio, then sailed out from Rio and politely informed the local commander: ”It is my intention to hoist tommorow the national flag of Great Britain on shore.“ Far from expelling Vernet's settlers, Onslow urged them to stay. Of the 33, only 4 left. In the first test of public opinion , almost 90% voted for British sovereignty-by staying put. As acts of colonialism go, this was not so much ”blatant“ as courteous and entirely bloodless.”
And a quote from an Argentine (in the Sun). Fabian Cebron, 44, a courier, said: “I thought it was obvious the Malvinas were Argentine and the British were keeping a colony. But then I didn't know until I read the Sun's letter that the British had sovereignty before the Argentine Republic existed. That changes things.”
'Mrs Kirchener refused to comment through her office yesterday.'
Another own goal by CFK.
Well Think as Skandavovian immigrant on Welsh Patagonian terretory Y Wladffa you know how the original colonists of a vacant land are treated. Wont ask where you live: Porth Madryn, Trelew(is) or Trevellin I wonder? Hen Wlad fy Nhadau? If it werent for the Welsh introducing irrigation into your province you would still be a desert. The Welsh got on pretty well with the indignous population. So you are just another colonist who stole the land from thier rightful(?) owners. Read Llewelyns novel “Down Where the Moon is Small” Its boring but might give you an insight of the history of your province.

@60. For all the retorts to perceived personal slights (real or imaginary) on forums, the Falkland Islands/Malvinas dispute is a political dispute, not personal
Jan 06th, 2013 - 09:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'm sure individuals of all nationalities who post on forums are perfectly decent and nice people but simply human when it comes to debate and change styles to suit how they feel at that moment
The “go home” sentiment applied to immigrants seems an unpleasant and unreasonable one to me for descendants of immigrants who are born in a place and have always been there. The people in a land are native to that land and know no other place. The place they are born and grow up in is there home. It is in their heart and soul; that is where they feel they belong
For a native Islander, Britain would feel no more like home than Spain or Italy would feel to an Argentine born in Argentina of Spanish or Italian descent.
The application of this stereotype is a political means to scapegoat the present day islanders and to justify their political persecution and segregation from the rights of the majority. That's why this type argument is morally and ethically misguided and wrong

Argies with no jobs are burning copies of the union flag because of.....any reason they can dream up.
Think is peddling the success of a newspaper that survives on the back of jumble sales and donations from GROLIIES (Guardian Readers of Limited Intelligence In Ethnic Skirts) who long for the days when they were sociology students at the local polytechnic.
RKH are still on course to submit concept selection development in June.
Argentina is in an economic mess with inflation up there with four other dictatorships.
The Falklands remain British (as they will always be - if any Argie wishes to challenge this then provide a date and time when they will come under Argentine administration).
I guess the only things that changes is the date and the weather!
but still no found oil at around the islands.

I'm not so hopeful you will give up being arrogant. You have a lot of learning to do before you start giving English lessons. There are at least 16 tenses in English, and a native speaker will easily understand what Beef wrote. Your suggestion would have read 'I went and work in China' which is grammatically wrong since it mixes the present and past tense.

I agree with posters elsewhere that we will also see challenges to the Falklands EEZ and that too will backfire given the number of countries that have “shared” EEZ zones, some of them friendly some of them not so much. It will be clear that such a cowardly cynical move was to pick a fight with the BMOC by going after his little sister. We'll get more fond and proud recollections and revisions of their Dirty War's last gasp with childish and depraved cries of “The Malvinas is Argentina!” when other countries hang their heads in shame over their past war crimes (when is the last time you heard Angela Merkel having her people cry “Sudetenland is Germany”?) And we'll see more incredibly stupid “college-educated” comments here about how Argentines have absolutely no faults, how Baathist Iraq is the moral equivalent of Poland under the Nazi jackboot and Argentines pretending to be progressive Americans or Europeans not only making the mistake of not only being overtly racist and antisemetic but using the wrong epithets.

Jan 06th, 2013 - 04:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@88 yes, but if you read the Argie press you can see they've taken his answer completely out of context. The programme interviewed him for absolutely ages and his Falklands comments were in response to one answer he gave shoved in at the end of the programme, it wasn't even treated as an important point.
Jan 06th, 2013 - 04:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you look at La Nacion, you'd think it was a public statement made as sabre rattling whereas the actual question he was asked was if he was prepared to defend the islands in case of attack, there are troops there so of course the answer is going to be yes. There's no major revelations here or anything new in the attitude towards Argentina or the falklands situation. Great, how the press jumps on these things and mistranslates them completely, and deliberately. I'm not saying the UK press don't do the same, but the papers know they sell more by being sensationalist, and that sensationalism feeds ignorance and nationalism. Sad.
@91 You say you cannot stand Europeans, when your culture has inherited the acceptance of corruption from Italians, the lack of backbone from the Spaniards, with the head of the Germanic ubermensch who bitterly lost WW2 and seem to have taken over your political structure, creating a new vision of expansionism and authoritarianism.

Secret police and their “files,” threats to kill noncompliant islanders, undocumented land mines, playing russian roulette with civilians detaining civilians illegally in unmarked buildings in a war zone, shooting from surrender stances, medical facilitates used to support hostilities, undocumented land mines, and in the end, the cherry on top, intent to use the civilians of Stanley as human shields as defeat was inevitable and imminent (which caused Menendez to surrender before facing unavoidable charges war crimes that no act of “grace in victory” could override). The revisionist history spoon-fed to Argentines so they could sleep easy about their failure to overthrow the Junta before it became the Falklanders and UKs problem (and how the UK's humiliation of the Junta's henchmen on the Islands caused the Argentines to finally rid themselves of the Junta, years late and pesos short for its victims) is not going to last forever.

To think that once Argentina and Australia were two of the wealthiest countries. And now look at the divergence. Australia is indeed one of the richest and most stable countries on Earth. Argentina is so far behind that it can't even be categorised with Australia any longer.
Argentina has short bursts of growth followed by terrible destruction of wealth and hence is now much poorer than Australia and Britain.
Argentina's military has been starved of funds because the government is too scared they will take over. Australia and Britain never have this fear and both have efficient and lethal defence forces.
Argentina doesn't innovate. Britain's innovation and inventions are extensive. Australia, younger and smaller, less so but still extensive. If you are using the internet with a wifi connection then Britain and Australia accepts your thanks as the countries that respectively invented them.
Britain's economic engine has not ceased. For someone who can't argue's supposedly extensive use of archaic english, you would think he would know the difference between recession and depression or implosion.

That's only your opinion as an individual defensive nutter.
Another individual @127 does seem to believe that Argentina is the worst place on the planet, and the worst people. He says he is qualified to make that statement because of his personal experiences with Argentinians. He is entitled to that opinion too. You don't know his nationality or background, so you cannot attribute those sentiments to ALL Brits, or ANY Brits, for that matter.
Rascist??? - I see no racist statements by Brits. There are however, observations of certain race inequality in Argentina. Fair game to report that your aboriginal people seem to be the majority if the very poor, representing a visible sub-class of people in your society.
Posters are also pointing out your attempts to misrepresent Mendoza as a very affluent utopia, omitting the starving population of the region that is trying to scratch out a subsistance living.

Or do you just want to wait until someone comes along and tells you? What invitations to A court of justice are you talking about? Ones where you'd already “fixed” the court? Like the time you suggested arbitration with Paraguay as the arbiter. Just how many times do you have to be told that all your UNGA resolutions are irrelevant.

@149 Congratulations, you're really getting the hang of copy and paste. As for the rest, you have to understand that there is no racism. Argies aren't a race. Being “genetically superior” is open to question. However, in the case of individuals such as yourself, mental inferiority is an obvious FACT. I'm happy to agree that not all Argentines, possibly, are inferior scum. It's just that you are. As for argieland being the worst place on the planet, I'd have to agree that it's not. Syria, at the moment, is probably worse. So is Iran. It is sort of on a par with Somalia. But Somalia is slightly better. Its thieves often succeed. Yours rarely do.

Indeed I can. For those that understand, even a tiny amount of economics, know that extremely high inflation and low growth lead to a decline in living standards. Savings are decimated and consumption is bought forward to compensate for the continual loss of spending power. Poorer people are disproportionally affected as a larger proportion of their income is needed for living expenses.
“If you really loved Argentina, you would not lie so toothlessly about the place.”
An extremely silly and juvenile statement. How can love be conditional? And please list all my lies about Argentina. Love is not being a sycophant. And being patriotic is not unswerving and unquestioning loyalty to a government. It is knowing what is best for your country. My current government has done some good and quite frankly a lot of bad-I look forward to them losing an election this year. My country is not defined by a government. They are there to enable not control.
“You are new here. It won't be long till you tire of the “rational” poster façade that actually insist he likes argentines, and you fully come out of the closet...”

The national government repudiated the “militaristic threats” made by the Prime Minister of Britain, David Cameron, who said he was “ready to fight” to maintain colonial rule over the Falkland Islands. The Foreign Ministry issued a statement in which he asks the premier to “not use the legitimate and peaceful demands” made by Argentina in international fora “to continue to support the arms industry, rather than alleviate the severe social crisis being experienced Europe ”.
The response of the Palacio San Martin insists Britain require that meets “the obligation to accept the resolutions of the United Nations to resolve the issue peacefully Falklands”.
“The aggressiveness of the words of British Prime Minister confirm the complaint made by the Republic of Argentina to the United Nations about the militarization of the South Atlantic and the possible presence of nuclear weapons introduced by the colonial power,” said Foreign Ministry.
During an interview with the BBC, Cameron said it is “absolutely essential to have fast jets and troops stationed in the islands” and stressed that his country “has one of five defense budgets in the world.”
Therefore, the portfolio by the Minister Héctor Timerman asked the British premier “do not use the legitimate and peaceful demands” that Argentina made “against the usurpation of part of our territory and against colonialism as an excuse to continue to support the arms industry rather than alleviate the severe social crisis currently affecting Europe. ”

UK has every right to excercise the right to self defence under article 51 of the UN Charter. A charter to which Argentina is a signatory. Cameron has every right to say the UK will excercise that r.ght, nothing provocative or militarising about that.
Given the overwhelming force used the last time they invaded, it makes sense to have sufficient strength there and on standby, should they consider the same action again.
@189--I think we need to remind our Argie posters exactly why it is the UK has military forces down in the SA. It is because of the sneaky sly weasels continued threats and intimidation of the islands, the comments of the Argie government that the only reason they have not attacked again is because of the UK forces stationed on the islands.

Argentina faces removal from the IMF and is ranked toward the bottom of the world table on perceptions of corruption. While you ‘never wear an outfit twice’ and cover yourself in jewels and designer labels your own people are suffering. Playing the Falklands card might be a nice smokescreen for your own policy failures but it will not help Argentina out of the mess you have left her in, just as it didn't help the dictatorial junta that invaded in 1982.”
“The Falklands have never had an indigenous population – but the current inhabitants have a better claim than anyone to being natives. Like Britain, Argentina has a shameful colonial past – it is therefore odd to act holier than thou when your own country is founded upon the blood of Amerindians. Europeans conquered Argentina, their descendants tried to conquer the Falklands and now, having failed, you act surprised that Britain and the Islanders feel there is nothing to negotiate.”
“Perhaps one day a President of Argentina will write to a British paper apologising for the invasion, apologising for the dishonouring of our war dead and recognising the Falkland Islanders’ sovereignty. Until then, I too look to the United Nations. So let’s take this back to first principles, Chapter 1, Article 1, part 2 of the UN Charter – the right to self-determination.”

Jan 07th, 2013 - 08:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How much does someone want to bet by the end of the week we have a new poster that is just as narcissistic, crazy and stupid as all of his other personas. For a week or so he will swear that he isn't Tony then finally relent.
I bet U$20 he is back in a week or less.
When is Argentina going to give back the land it stole from the natives?

Why thank you so much. It would’ve been nice if this was a sincere wish, however a prolific use of archaic language hardly masked your schadenfreude.
Unfortunately for you, you can’t retract this comment and it is there for all to see.
While there are no cyclones, floods, droughts or mice problems right now, we are facing one of the worst bushfires seasons ever. You probably didn’t even realise that emergency services are currently combing the devastating bushfires in Tasmania looking for bodies in some of the 100+ burnt homes. I doubt few could take perverse pleasure in that.

Though it is interesting that you only mention natural disasters, for even though “every year is something different in that forsaken locale” we have still managed to build one of the best run, prosperous and stable nations on the planet. With less than half the population and just over 200 years European settlement than Argentina we have managed to create a country with one of the highest standards of living together with low unemployment, high growth, low inflation, low corruption, strong institutions, stable society and a resilient democracy.
Yes, I see now why you highlighted natural disasters.
These are not inflicted by incompetent government. Our authorities fighting these disasters are not politicised or emasculated by a populist government. Our infrastructure is not crumbling due lack of investment by short sighted governments that try to distract us with nationalistic jingoism.
Thank you again for letting me highlight how well my country is managed compared to yours.
You have indeed become everything you say you detest.
Anglotino Dont waste your breath on Snotty, probablygone to confer with Guss and Sussie. Good riddance in my opinion
Jan 07th, 2013 - 09:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The SUN. A tabloid published with the lazy ass uneducated of Britain and the world.
Jan 07th, 2013 - 10:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now my question. Is this the best publication that Britain can use to spread its vile when confronted with a reasonable challenge? I am sure that its war mongering fire spit was thought up by The SUN publishers themselves.
My lord things are bad in Britain. Argentina paid top bucks for their add in the Guardian.
Keep at it, shoot your selves in the foot....00ops... I mean peg leg. Nice image of yourselves you leave to the rest world. Warmongers!!

Yet the Sun are correct about the history of 1833. which makes the Argentine government incredibly uneducated.
Argentine government, cannot research the history properly in their own archives-must try harder.

weak weak weak comeback
about as much substance as your childish taunting.
Anglotino and Vuggevise make intellectual arguments to your throwaway charges - you are incapable of answering back, moron.
But you only want to needle until you get a reaction and reasonable discussion and the message get deflected, right?

Jan 07th, 2013 - 10:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are right, but it isn't a waste of time. It is more like a gym workout for the brain. Exercising it. After all, he is hardly challenging and other than my need to look up the meaning of some archaic words, it is no more difficult than mopping a floor.
I mean look at the calibre of people on here. ProRG_American tried to besmirch The Sun and yet shot himself in the foot when assuming (claiming/thinking) that this was Britain spreading the word. Oh to have a simplistic worldview and not actually having to think like him.
Neither of them are a challenge and yet they are highly entertaining in their own way.

Jan 07th, 2013 - 11:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, you are correct, things are not too good in the UK....but , Christ, look at Argentina. At least we can bask in the knowledge that if things are not brilliant here, we are in paradise compared with over there!
Cristina just lately seems to be running her govt via facebook and twitter from Santa Cruz with no reference to her “cabinet” She challenged Scioli to reveal his savings and he did - around U$D200 thou which aint a big sum . Price of a nice house in BA mebbe. Now its up to Crissy to reveal her savings in the Swiss banks also. Will she? Will she hell!

Jan 08th, 2013 - 11:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Sun are criminal scum, their sister paper the News of the World had to close over the phone hacking scandal and they should have gone the same way. For over 20 years the Sun has been boycotted in Liverpool over its disgraceful lies about the Hillsborough disaster. I could go on with other scandals, but for now I'll just add that none of their famous page 3 girls have anything on Cristina in the attractiveness stakes either =)
Jan 14th, 2013 - 06:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes the Sun is a rubbish paper but the message needed to be conveyed to the Argentine public. I would rather the message had been conveyed by the UK government but we at least did not have to pay for the advert !
Jan 14th, 2013 - 09:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am not up on page 3 girls but I don't think a public vote would prefer a topless 60 year old with extensive plastic surgery to her face, to a nubile 19 year old. Of course, I don't see CFK through your myopic vision. Maybe we should ask the Sun to run a readers -(if any Sun buyer can read ) -to have a vote on the subject. I am not interested one way or the other.
