Jan 30th, 2013 - 03:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Notably irritated, after the unanimous applause to Gloria Oquelis` speech where “solidarity with the Argentine peoepl” was expressed, Sinclair told her European colleagues: “for reasons like this the UK will end up retiring from the Uropean Union”.
Sinclair`s irritation indicates how lonely the UK is on its stance regarding its colonial possessions in the South Atlantic.

Jan 30th, 2013 - 03:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh that's going to go well. “Give us back our Sudetenland and East Prussia that we lost in a war we started to expand our countries overt and irredeemable Fascist policies and negation of fundamental human rights.” and “Asking Falklanders to vote to remain British is asking Poles to remain Polish or Danes Danish, or Czechs Czech.
Jan 30th, 2013 - 03:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@3, it would be amusing if the aircraft were to be ”repoed“ and he has to fly coach in the middle seat back and seeing him walk up and down the aisles saying ”excuse me, that's my wife, can we swap please...“ ”excuse me that's my child, can we swap please” I'm not holding my breath though (and boy it can be irritating when people try to ask you trade down for their *real* family members).
#2 To be honest it really doesn't matter how “lonely” you think we are. What's going to happen?
Jan 30th, 2013 - 03:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0- We know nothing will come of any action through the UN, and we know we'd win any case in the ICJ. The only thing that could shift us is concerted major action by SA, something like a trade embargo and there is no chance of that happening even if we were outside the EU. Face it, you're (Argentina) impotent to effect any kind of change to Falklands.
They can hold a pole dancing competition at their Embassy for all I care. The sovereignty of the islands are non negoitable and no member or Latin member {wtf is that, Latin member) of the EU has anything to say in it. More bloody interference in the UK's diplomatic politics, another reason to kiss the bloody place goodbye!

Jan 30th, 2013 - 03:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly approved a document Malvinas.
http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/elpais/subnotas/212661-62147-2013-01-26.html
The Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly adopted a document recommending the heads of state of the EU CELAC and foster “dialogue for a peaceful, just and lasting solution” to the sovereignty dispute over the Falkland Islands, as proclaimed by various UN resolutions. “The Assembly discussed the” Malvinas issue 'in different organs and promotes dialogue for a solution, “says the message of parliamentarians, approved yesterday by all participants of the meeting of the Political Affairs Committee, British Deputy least Nicole ”Nikki“ Sinclaire, who left the room at the time of the discussion. The initiative was sponsored by Senator Daniel Filmus. It was recalled that the case of Malvinas ”to United Nations is not a question of law for the determination of the occupants of Malvinas“, referring to the referendum driven from London but ”the people of the Falklands are a result of a colonial occupation“ .
http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/elpais/subnotas/212661-62147-2013-01-26.html
.... Respect for the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, but the UK, as a member of the EU, blocked any explicit mention in point five of the document is a clear nod to Argentina's position. There, the 61 signatory countries reaffirmed their commitment ”to all the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations“ and the ”decision to support all efforts to uphold the sovereign equality of all States, respect their territorial integrity and independence policy “in addition to” refrain in international relations from the threat or use of force “,” support the resolution of disputes by peaceful means and in accordance with the principles of justice and international law. ”

I really can not wait to see who these 18 European outstanding figures are. You can guess they will be leftwingers sitting on ridiculous committtees getting rich on expenses. Am I right in saying The EU recognise The Falkland Islands as a British Overseas Territory so if there are 18 these are there PERSONAL VIEWS and not there country's??

Jan 30th, 2013 - 04:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Give your vote to who you like the fact is back the islands are British and will remain so for as long as the islanders choose them to be. Nothing or no one, other than the islanders can change that.
I see the words APPARENTLY and ACCORDING use in the text several times are we to take it this is purely Argentinas version of events??

Jan 30th, 2013 - 04:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe you're right and the British are always islands but you're wrong about one thing .. To remain British does not depend on the will of the islanders but the decision of London .. And I have a hunch, when Scotland does not belong more to the UK and the official religion is Islam in England .. As it no longer makes sense to continue to have colonies in the world ..
Timerman is making a personal address to the delegates.

I see Raul is busy copying and pasting once more. Raul I have a question for you, when will you actually post something of your own?
Jan 30th, 2013 - 04:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And when he says fantasy of self determinations I think he's referring to Chapter 1 of the UN and also the recent support of Ban Ki Moon.
So I think what he's saying is the UN is a fantasy and nobody supports the UN's principles of self-determination given the UN has said in a public statement it supports the people of the Falkland Islands in its self-determination.
Are Timidman and the Trollie Dolly going to lead off the dancing at this jamboree?
Jan 30th, 2013 - 04:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sean Penn coming?
@13 Raul : I realise I am wasting my time replying to you, since you are such a f***ing idiot, but has it every crossed your tiny mind that EVERYYONE would like “dialogue for a peaceful, just and lasting solution”.
Jan 30th, 2013 - 04:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This would require Argentina to stop holding the position of evil facist lying imperialist arseholes.
1.Stop claiming somrthing that is not yours, then the problem is solved.
2. Then stop using your political weight in SA to bully you small neighbour, and the British military COULD be out of the Falklands in a decade.
It seems to me that Argentina does not have a clue what negotiations are: Argentina bring nothing to the table.
A 'just' solution does not include allowing Argentina to annex the Falklands against the wishes of as close to an indiginous population as the you are ever going to get on those islands (that is, people who have roots there going back many, many generations or people they have invited to join them via an immigration policy that THEY control).
@XAVIERV You have a strange sense of events and how things will go in The UK
Jan 30th, 2013 - 04:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If the referendun in Scotland was held tomorrow the vote would be a YES for Scotland to stay part of The Union-thats why the Scottish nationalist asked that 16 year olds be allowed to vote in other words desperation
If you ask me Timmerman really works for the CIA or SIS. He can't open his mouth without inserting his foot. I'm with Elaine I can't wait to see the doozies he comes out with this time.

Jan 30th, 2013 - 04:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@ Raul, why do you think that talking means Argentina Soverinty winning?
Win Win Argentina and England. Consequently everybody wins.
Automatically Speaking is evident that the Falklands conflict is sovereignty. No self-determination as the British islanders are British citizens precisely. They are represented by the British authorities in London.
World public opinion is in favor of Argentina because it complies with international law to enforce UN resolutions.
Although not binding UN resolutions must be fulfilled as it is the best means of resolving disputes peacefully as the established United Nations Charter.
In this regard it should be noted that Resolution 1514 (XV) “Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples” in the sixth paragraph states that “Any attempt aimed at the partial or total disruption of the national unity and territorial integrity of a country is incompatible with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. ”
In the Malvinas Question General Assembly of the United Nations included this doctrine - the principle of territorial integrity by referring to the interests and NOT the wishes of the population of the islands - in its resolution 2065 (XX), 1965, ratified by later resolutions 1973 (3160, XXVIII) 1976 (31/49), 1982 (37/9), 1983 (38/12), 1984 (39/6), 1985 (40/21), 1986 (41 / 40), 1987 (42/19) and 1988 (43/25). They all declare the existence of a sovereignty dispute and reaffirm the invitation made in resolution 2065 (XX) Parties (Argentina and the UK) ”to proceed without delay with the negotiations recommended by the Special Committee in order to find a solution the problem peacefully, taking into account the provisions and objectives of the United Nations Charter and Resolution 1514 (XV) and the interests of the people of the Falkland Islands. ”
Speaking of interests, not desires, expressly refers to the sovereignty of the islands.

Jan 30th, 2013 - 04:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Is there anyway the FIG could drag Timmerman into court for slander/libel if he starts spreading his evil lies in the UK. Or could the UK boot him out effectively for spreading hate messages.
Jan 30th, 2013 - 05:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There must be some action that can be taken to stop overseas politicians spreading fake propaganda within our borders. I can't help but feel that the UK government is sleepwalking with the future of the Falkland Islanders.
The FIG needs to start being far more proactive when faced with situations like this, because the UK government won't, and to not confront it is to give it the air of legitimacy (which it should never, ever have).
@Raul Now thats not how Mr VBanki Moon sees things.
Jan 30th, 2013 - 05:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ban Ki-moon and colonialism: people should be able to decide their own future
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said UK is not violating relevant UN resolutions referred to the Falklands’ and more specifically on colonialism, he argued that a prevailing impression is that “people living under certain conditions should have a certain level of capacities so that they can decide their own future”, be it independence or some kind of government in their territories.
There is NO WAY the voice and wishes of The Falkland Islanders will not be heard or part of any discussion NEVER so nothing will be changing any time soon and definetely in The Botox Queens reign
@34 Raul: You say:
Jan 30th, 2013 - 05:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Although not binding UN resolutions must be fulfilled”
Do you actually think about what you write? You really are an idiot.
@34 Raul
Jan 30th, 2013 - 05:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The referendum in March is peaceful (we're not threatening anyone - despite what CFK claims) and complies with the UN's most basic principle - self determination.
“UN resolutions must be fulfilled” - this sounds like a demand not a negotiation. Of course we would like a pragmatic approach (such as we enjoy with the Chileans and some other SA countries) but as Argentina has enshrined sovereignty into its constitution, where is the latitude for negotiation? Plus you need to talk to the islanders not the UK government. Our stance on this is very clear.
Like Argentina accepted the resolution to get out of the Falkland Islands when you invaded -so what stopped Argentina from fulfilling that binding UN resolutionb or do you just pick and chose what suites
Jan 30th, 2013 - 05:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Someone like to explain to him what non binding means. The resolutions wording themselves might help, words such as invites, requests or calls on, might be a bit of a give away.

Jan 30th, 2013 - 05:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Last desperate opportunity to try and curry favour from the EU to side with Argentina in its claims in light of the referendum that is coming and will be a landslide vote to push forward with the islanders rights to self determination. The RG argument is full of the same old claims that have already been proved as weak at best and thus, they will continue to make fools of themselves on the world stage. There is nothing they can do, nothing at all. Even if, in some crazy way they do secure the islands, what are they going to do with them once the islanders have left or been exterminated? They will colonise them...what a joke!
Jan 30th, 2013 - 05:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The UK & FIG need to be much more pro-active regarding refuting all these little stunts by the Argies.

@18 You don't get a say. Why would anyone listen to an argie province?
@27 You stick with your hunch. The majority of the UK (England) doesn't really care whether Scotland goes or stays. Although there are a lot that would rather see them go. The Falklands is a different matter. No British government would survive any proposal to do anything except give the Falklands independence. With a defence treaty maintaining or increasing British forces.
@34 Time waster. You've been reported again for posting your drivel. Incidentally, when will argieland fulfil UN Security Council resolution 502?
@38 Thanks for the co-ordinates. Although I believe the RN already has them.

How was Scotland dragged into this discussion? But since it has been mentioned, support for independence has dropped considerable in Scotland. And the Electoral Commission overseeing the election rejected the question proposed by Salmond as being weighted towards the 'yes' vote. He accepted the rejection. To be honest most people in the UK are more than happy for Scotland to decide if they wish to remain part of the union. Why do Malvanistas think it is an issue?
Jan 30th, 2013 - 06:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think the word 'outstanding' has been misused in this context. I think it was probably meant to read 'prominent'.

Universality. That would include Falklanders then.
And it goes on:
“36. We welcome the convening, in early 2016, of a special session of the General Assembly of the United Nations on the world drug problem, as agreed in UNGA resolution A/RES/67/193 to review the progress in the implementation of the Political Declaration and Plan of Action on International Cooperation towards an Integrated and Balanced Strategy to Counter the World Drug Problem, including an assessment of the achievements and challenges in countering the drug problem, within the framework of the three international drug control conventions and other relevant United Nations instruments. In this regard, we support possible responses for enhancing the effectiveness of strategies and instruments available for the international community to face in an integral and balanced manner the challenges and consequences posed by the World Drug Problem under the principle of common and shared responsibility. We also commit to identify the most effective strategies to combat the world drug problem in all its dimensions. With this in mind, initiatives and studies being developed in the Latin American and the Caribbean region and in the European Union, and the participation of both regions in this process, may provide a very valuable contribution to the regional and global discussion on the World Drug Problem.”
It would seem hallucinogenic drugs in particular are a problem in Argentina.
Think, Take all of your imaginary Pesos out of any of your Falkland plays and buy Sugar. It is going to be your best investment this year! I think yoy it is 60% more expensive in Peso terms and since the peso is 8/1 today it may be 100% or more next year at this time.

Jan 30th, 2013 - 08:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0ARGENTINA’S foreign policy has grown increasingly combative in recent months. In addition to turning up the heat in its longstanding dispute with Britain over control of the Falkland Islands, the government of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner also nationalised a Spanish-controlled oil company without providing a penny of compensation and sparred with Ghana over the impoundment of a naval frigate.
This week Argentina added Israel to its list of burnt bridges. On January 27th its foreign ministry announced the country would collaborate with Iran to form a joint truth commission that will investigate the 1994 car bomb attack at AMIA, a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires. No one has been convicted for involvement in the bombing, which killed 85 and injured 300. But Argentine prosecutors, Interpol, Israel and Jewish advocacy groups have all publicly accused Iran of directing the attack and dispatching Hizbullah to execute it.....'

Wonder how the argies would react to a British visit to the embassy in Buenos Aires, inviting representatives of all other latino countries, to detail the lies, murders and genocidal actions of argieland?

And the Falkland Islands is not an 'integral part of your territory'. Whoever said it was, apart from you? We are hundred of miles away, and we've never been under Argentine rule, apart from a few weeks.What a bizarre claim to make.
Our wishes and our interests are the same thing. It cannot be in our interests to be subjugated by a foreign power, you. What a completely mad idea that is too. You've spent too long listening to your own propaganda without questioning it.

The UN resolution says they cannot be ignored, so you've got some problems if the interests of the Islanders don't coincide with being a colony of Argentina, haven't you chey?
Then let's get a Falkland Islander to comment on your reply (not that there will be one as it is not in the Islander's interests to be a colony of a failed country like Argentina).
Just as a matter of interest I googled the Rg embassy in London, Interesting site, go to the news section all up to date ....................except Clarin not updated since 2010, can't think why, some good phots in photo gallery though, good one of CFK number 17 and one of Tinman 27.

..........the Falklands will still be British, and will be British the day after, and so on and so on until the Falkland Islanders decide they want to change their status.
Argentina will, by then, have collapsed under the weight of its own incompetence, and the world will just shrug and carry on with normal jogging.
However, I'm happy for this Argentine government to keep bleating on about the Falklands, telling continual lies, most of which they either contradict with more lies, or are so easily disproved as false that it's quite embarrassing watching them.
The more they bleat on and lie, instead of facing and dealing with the problems affecting Argentina, the more the Argentine people will get fed up about hearing about it, and the less they'll care about the Falklands.
I think it's safe to say that the International community already switch off when Argentina starts beating on.

So, ultimately: yes, the UK would have to be informed to some extent but I would suggest it would be up to them as to how far they investigate his reasons for visiting, restrictions (if any, which are doubtful) on his movements or activities.

Many times I told you that none in Europe will support UK in the Malvinas cause.
None is going to upset Argentina the 8th bigger country in the world, plenty rich in resources and the second engine economy in SA, and a potential strategic partner for EU to sell her goods for a couple of rocks.
And less when Europe is so bad that has to come over her knees asking for help in SA.
What EU members will gain with that?
Nothing, on the contrary they will be banned to sell products to SA, because in the region none wants military presence from UK as US don’t want Military presence on her shores from China.
US also will not support UK because will isolate US even more from the region.
World has change and you have to adapt of will be crashed in the process.

So you're saying that, as a prime member of the EU and financial contributor of same, as one of the main members of NATO and also as a major trading partner of so many countries, we would get no support? Dream on, weirdo.

@ 149 Well said Boovis @ 145 DannyBerger Dream on. No matter how many times you have told us how little support the UK can get from the EU over the 'Falkland Islands' (there is no such place as Malvinas) it makes no difference to what will really happen. What YOU must do is wake up and understand that without the UK the EU would be fucked. Why do you think so many of the EU member states citizens live and work in the UK? Because their own countries are screwed, broke, shit holes just like your piss pot of a country. So yes, they are bound to side with Argentina, or will they? Dream on. By the way, keep on with the old arguments and lies...the more that the world hears them, the stronger the British claims become.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 12:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The article states“to meet outstanding figures from 18 European countries” now these clowns could be anybody even dragged and drugged of the streets of London, also Tinman will be “perfoming” in The Argentine Embassy so technically he will be doing nothing wrong as it counts as Argentiine territory. I am beginning to think perhaps The Uks softly softly approach towards this issue is not paying of would be interesting to hear what you guys think.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 12:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Press release from FIG:
Jan 31st, 2013 - 01:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Falkland Islands Government has been advised that the Argentine Foreign Minister will visit London next week, and has requested a meeting with the UK Foreign Secretary William Hague.
Mr Hague has told the Government of Argentina he would be happy to meet Mr Timerman. At that meeting he would want to raise the UK Government’s serious concerns about Argentina’s policy towards the Falkland Islands.
He has also made it clear that, for any conversation on Falkland Islands issues, the Falkland Islands Government must be represented.
Mr Hague has also reiterated to Argentina that there can never be any negotiations over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands unless and until the Falkland Islanders so wish. The Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly believes that the result of the forthcoming referendum will demonstrate definitively that we do not. Should the issue of sovereignty be raised at the meeting, it will not be discussed.
Members of the Legislative Assembly made it clear in their letter of 2012 to President Fernandez de Kirchner (details of which were made public on June 15, 2012), that the Falkland Islands Government is willing to meet with the Government of Argentina in order to make our views clear, and to discuss matters of mutual interest including fisheries and communication. Therefore, MLA Dick Sawle and MLA Jan Cheek will travel to London this weekend to be available to take part in this discussion.
We want to reassure anyone concerned by this that we are not going to be negotiating any deal with Argentina. Rather we are anticipating a full and frank exchange of views. Indeed we look forward to giving Mr Timerman some very direct messages on the unacceptability of Argentina’s actions against the Falkland Islands in recent years. We demand that our rights be respected, and that we be left in peace to choose our own future and to develop our country for our children and generations to come.
So this is where you're all hanging out today!

Even during the present crisis there have been several interchanges of business and professional people.

Whoever said that the poll claiming only 23% supported Scottish independence, as a recent poll, don't know the fact that it was carried out before the Olympics, and it was of course inaccurate and most likely biased like all other unionist smearing campaigns.

Can I just add that the Electoral Commission were also biased as all members of it were union supporters, with no neutral members a part of it.
I'd stay a part of the UK if we had devo max, but the UK govt have clearly said that isn't going to happen, so I'll vote for independence instead, like many many others.

Wrong yet again, they are already recognized and supported by the EU.
Special member state territories and the European Union
Several European Union member states have special territories which, for historical, geographical, or political reasons, enjoy special status within or outside of the European Union. These statuses range from no or limited derogation from EU policies, limited inclusion in EU policies, or none at all. Most of the territories which are outside the EU nonetheless have a special relationship with the EU.
British overseas territories
Falkland Islands
These are counted as Overseas Countries and Territories under the Treaty of Rome; however, Bermuda has chosen not to apply for this status.[9] All citizens of the British overseas territories – including those connected to Bermuda, but excluding those connected to Britain's sovereign bases in Cyprus – were granted full British citizenship by the British Overseas Territories Act 2002 and are consequently citizens of the European Union.

If you are referring to the Scottish referendum, you need to consider that many of the Falkland Islanders are descended from Scots, and a great many Scottish people work in the Falkland Islands, therefore the Scottish economy benefits.
Even if the Scottish after independence, renounce their links with the Falklands(thus losing them £millions ), the rest of the Union will support the islands, BECAUSE WE CAN.
You seem to be unaware that a great many countries are happy to trade with the Falkland Islands ( as they, unlike Argentina, are RELIABLE trade partners) and Argentina's attempts to isolate the islands have backfired in a big way to the detriment of the Argentine economy.
I would suggest that because Argentina cannot make its mind up who are its allies and who aren't(they change with Argentina's unique ability to pick and lose a fight with anybody), nobody cares about upsetting Argentina over the Falklands, especially if they are gaining economically from trading with the Falkland Islands.
You will actually find that the Scots will be canny enough to compete with the Union for links and the support of the Falkland Islands should they achieve independence.
Lets face it, in 1982, the Scots Guards who had been taken from ceremonial duties, kicked the shit out of some of Argentinas best soldiers on Tumbledown. Just imagine what they would have been like had they returned from a war zone rather than ceremonial duties before they had sailed to the Falklands?
Poor deluded Dany - or are you just terminally THICK ?

However, I think that the Scots are more likely to want to kick the shit out you of than the English. The English are a bit more diplomatic - we prefer violence - it's one of our country's less endearing qualities but useful at times when twats like you mouth off..

Now lets try and answer your garbled posting.
We have “weather” and have learned to adapt to it over the years. That is why the Falkland Islanders have made a success of THEIR little group of islands. A land quite unsuitable for wimps of Argentinians, who, on their last mass visit complained of the cold incessantly.
One can eat very well in the UK with a wide choice of foodstuffs.
It's the Argentine govt. who are quoting our “ Britain's huge powerful military force” in the Falklands.
As you don't seem to think it is any threat, please inform your govt. that an Argie. police station could handle them. End of your worries.
“Who is sacred of the English? You perhaps?”
Difficult to answer, probably St. George - certainly not me. However, the English do not go much for Catholic saints.
Scotland would be pretty easy to invade. Depends who is doing the invading. The English tried it for centuries as did the Romans before them and came to the conclusion that it was better to join with them than have a destructive war that would never end.
However, I think you mean the Argentine.
That is beyond laughable and proves you have slate missing!. We would even let you ashore and politely ask the English to stay out of it as we could easily handle a bunch of wimps as Tumbledown proved. Your best weren't good enough.
Scotland is useful for producing a tough resilient people who with a tiny population have produced some of the world's best scientists, doctors, engineers and inventors.
I could go on but modesty forbids.

There is a growing feeling in the UK that if TMBOA is stupid enough to try it again then the mainland AR should also suffer the same as the Falklands did (there are STILL no Malvinas you twat).

Argentina the most powerful country in Europe. HAS THERE BEEN A CONTINENTAL SHIFT ?
If you mean Germany, it is partly because you have the largest population - including 3.5 million Turks who in a few generations will be in the majority -and that Germany had the sense to stay out of major conflicts thereby saving billions. You also managed to get NATO countries to station troops and aircraft (at their expense) to protect you from the Soviet threat post war.
However, to be fair,(a concept alien to you) they are a hard working nation who have supplied products the world wants - except Nostril who includes them with the damned.
Even if your last comment was true, I still wouldn't care.
There are sufficient MP's and Ministers to speak for Scotland in the UK government. You probably do not understand democracy with your background.
The PM, his father was Scottish, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Scottish , Chief Secy. for treasury, Scottish.
For a country with about 8% of the population, we are rather well represented in Parliament, especially as there are almost no Conservative MP's in Scotland.
I think a lot of English would say we are over represented in Parliament and the Cabinet.
Apart from that, we have our own Laws, Education system and Church.which are different from England.
