Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How long before his trip is called off ?
Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Give him hell and watch him squirm. Bet he'll come out with all sorts of shite afterwards about how he made them see rgenweeners case when the truth of the matter is he will be handed his arse on a plate by WH and the MLA's and left in no uncertain terms on the UK / Falkland Islanders stance. Then CFK will sack him, still think they should invite him to Pompey dockyard though or even a tour round the Queen Elizbeth in Rosyth
Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Time to lay odds if they will even be let in the building let alone room.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The chances of them meeting are slim to none, and slim just left town....
Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0An expensive flight for no purpose, I think.
Great move by WH, one thing for sure which ever move titman makes he is going to look stupid. I personally hope the meeting goes ahead and the FiG reps get stuck right in, it will make great press.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well if he meets Mr Hague as HE has requested, just have the two MLA's present in the room, and a surprise visit by David Cameron who can hand him a letter with all the correct history of the Falkland Islands including documentation from the 17 & 1800's ships logs etc etc and a inslip telling rgenweener to do one.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The meeting will be in the foreign office not the Argentine embassy so Timmerman will have no control over who is able to attend. He'll just refuse to attend himself.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Good time for Dick & Jan to do a bit of shopping.
Gosh those two sure been clocking up the airmiles lately!
Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How will this work...?
Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Timmerman is not allowed to acknolege the existing of the Falklands people yet if they are sat infront of him he cant iognore them...
Rock and hard place Timmerman.... LOL
Yes I'm quite sure the meeting won't go ahead, it's difficult to look someone in the eye and tell them their human rights don't matter and they have no right to self determination. It's much easier to do this from a safe distance in sound bites, that is the cowards way, the Argentine way.

Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Exactly......... We should be taking bets as to whether Laughing boy Timerman attends his own meeting!!!
By the way, The photo of him, at the top of the page, do you think he looks a bit...........well, hunted?
Sorry for being off topic, But here's Argentina's contribution to UK road safety.

Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ignoring laws, not paying fines.............. You can tell he's from Argentina.
@12 - Agree - wonder what the odds are on him asking for political asylum :)
Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It would be a classic if titman walked in expecting a one on one with WH and the two MLA reps are in the room, what can he do “run out”? haha and WH has the camera crews at the exit door. Bring it on you clowns.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 02:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It looks like the FCO are about to play their end game. I suspect Timerman will be left feeling inadequate and exposed and certainly not calling the shots at this meeting.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That's not likely to happen now they've announced the two will be present at any meeting. It's in the BAH too so it's going to at least take some wriggling to get out of it.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder what the topic of conversation will be if this does happen
Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 01 Your not buying enough from us despite our agreement not to buy anything from you
2 Your money is worth more thabn hours which is not fair
3 You must force your ships to come back to us and miss the Falkalnds
4 Your old ship you sold us years ago has sunk and it's your fault
5 It's our cluster of islands acording to our rewrite of hystory, prove me wrong
6 Why are you taking all our fish and oil from the mother land
7 Antartica is ours becuase we are closest and no one elses
8 Everyone in the world in goverment, power, on the streets, int he air, in space, in the bible even say that the Falklands are ours. Honest they do, they even signed this piece of paper to say so. Prove me wrong!
What have I missed?

Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well Laughing boy Timerman is no stranger to public embarrassment is he? It's pretty much a comedy roadshow whenever he walks out on stage.
He cannot seriously expect to get anything other than a right, royal bollocking and to be made an idiot. He is pretty much walking to his own, very public execution.
This explains the other story about is meeting with the euro18, it's a tag on. I was wondering how the hell he could conduct Argentine foreign policy from the Embassy, without some form of UK FO involvement, did not make sense!
Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is gonna be interesting
Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It needs to be televised this would make great viewing
Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The MLA reps need to turn up at the embassy with a TV crew in tow too.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Exactly, they need to milk this for all it's worth because I am sure Argentina did not expect this
Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I really hope that this is videoed for posterity. A brainless argie wriggling on the hook he's provided. Can we just imagine it?
Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0T: The Malvinas were stolen from Argentina in 1833.
FI: Can we start by discussing the situation of the Falkland Islands between 1690 and 1820?
T: That's not relevant!
FI: Is that because it's a 130-year period of British sovereignty?
T: Spanish sovereignty!
FI: But the Spanish didn't arrive until 1767. And, even then, they only bought the French settlement. The installations. France had no sovereignty.
T: The British abandoned the Islands!
FI: No. Because of other commitments, Britain temporarily evacuated its settlements. It never relinquished sovereignty.
T: The Nootka Convention!
FI: Doesn't apply. Britain agreed not to colonise anything else. It didn't. It just retained what it had already colonised.
T: The papal bull of 1493!
FI: That was rejected even at the time.
T: In 1833, the Argentine population was forcibly removed by British military action!
FI: No, they weren't. The illegal military garrison were requested to leave. Just four civilians chose to go with them.
T; Argentina inherited the Islands from Spain!
FI: But the Islands didn't belong to Spain. There was, and is, no legal principle by which a rebellious colony can “inherit” territory. And Spain didn't even “recognise” Argentina until 1856.
T: Argentina claimed the Islands in 1820!
FI: Leaving aside the fact of an illegal act by a common criminal, a pirate, why would Argentina decide to “claim” something it believed it already owned?
T: Malvinas Argentinas!
WH: Now, Mr Foreign Minister, why don't you accept the reality? The Falkland Islands don't belong to Argentina. And we have the evidence to prove it. Should you choose to take the matter to the ICJ. So why don't you sod off? Or do we have to crush your country properly?
This is going to be to rent balconies. This minister our every day is crazier! (I am critical of the government). I imagine it will respond when it shows Islander representatives, Mr. William Hague Sorry, Argentina failed talks with penguins .. Jajaja!
Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Could be a catch 22 for the Argentine deligation. If they refuse to accept and talk to the MLA's they will be ridiculed and if they do acept the Mla's they will be dambed by their own Country for acknoweledging that we exist. My guess is they will find a way to cancel this planned meeting after our representitives leave the Islands. Either way The Falkland People win another round.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0More Argentine bullshit. Good thing that the Falklands are Brititsh.

Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“it's difficult to look someone in the eye and tell them their human rights don't matter ”
But according to Arge - they are not a 'people'.
A pleasure to see a fellow Yorkshireman behaving with low cunning of the highest order...can't wait to see how the Argentine wriggle out of this one...
Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is strange if Argentina accept the terms of this meeting because they have refused until now to recognise The Falkland Island government I think this story could change soon as no response from B.A yet
Jan 31st, 2013 - 03:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0£50 says Timmerman will back-out and not meet with the Islanders.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 04:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Which will effectively destroy all of Argentina's claims about “we just want to talk”. as show it ALL up as total bullshit.

“ask European Court of Human Rights to address the issue of Argentines being denied basic human right to vote in Malvinas referendum”
She's bonkers. Maybe all UK citizens should too. There's 60 million of us so it should be fair.
HM Govt : Please , please record the entire meeting and show it on TV . Hague utterly destroying every one of Tinpot's weak arguments will be excellent entertainment .

If they are selling tickets to watch William Hague trample all over Timerman then put me down for eight. We can have a family day out in London and then stop off at the FCO for dinner and the show.
@46 - Could we send 16 (Air Assault) Brigade over to ask them door to door?
Jan 31st, 2013 - 05:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Tinman, is already showing us how desperate Argentina are, they need to maintain the publicity for their colonial claim. After the 180th anniversary of the fake usurp is over, there is nothing left to keep this in the news and they know the issue will start to fade. After this London event and the referendum the UK should just ignore the morons. Their claim cannot go anywhere without publicity.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 05:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Please have a read of the comments from the RG public in the link below, many of them agree with us, that the RG Govt are idiots.
'Kelpers Timerman want to meet before the referendum in Falkland

@46 that's what freedom of choice does for you know what I mean? If not let me enlighten you when the Falkland Islanders vote to remain British it will be freedom of choice, thier choice not rgenweeners or anyone else. So be a good troll and leave this debate to adults.

Your old ship you sold us the design for, that we messed up the building of, before we managed to get ourselves embargoed by the country that could sell us spares (meaning that we had to cannibalize most of the ship to keep the one that you built in something approaching working order) has finally sunk.
Were it not for the fact that we haven't actually paid for it in the first place we would demand our money back
@50 very interesting comments from the real people (not trolls) seems they want thier own country sorted out and see the Falklands as what it is, a distraction.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 05:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0'Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman is not scheduled to meet with representatives of the British and the islanders during his trip to London. “Foreign relations are between states,” he said from Chancery.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 05:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Falklands government representatives were due to meet with Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman next week in London, according to reports today in the diplomacy of England. However, in Argentina were sharp and clear that no such meeting on the official agenda of the minister....'

well steve they had better start wriggling now then or cancel it as Tinman asked to meet with WH to discuss the Falklands so if the two MLA's are present what will he do sit there and say nothing. I think he will have to meet WH as a diplomacy matter as a Foreign minister visiting a country without meeting his counterpart is a bit off

After the meeting (the Muppet show), Mr T . should be invited onto Newsnight to state his case. I am sure Mr. Paxman will give him a fair hearing ans in return ask some embarrassing probing questions.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 05:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@54 : You are right . Less and less Argentines give two hoots about the Islands . Others are quite sympathetic to the Islanders' plight , saying even we don't we want to be ruled by these clowns , so why should the islanders ?
Jan 31st, 2013 - 05:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@58 LOL that would be funny
Jan 31st, 2013 - 05:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Looks like Dick and Jan will be able to have a good meeting with our friend Mr Hague and a bit of a giggle at Hector not turning up ,followed by a nice foreign office lunch.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 05:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He is not going to show. It's a typical dishonest RG ploy to hold this meeting with the Euro 18 at the London Embassy. No doubt be claimed as a diplomatic coup and be of tremendous propoganda value. The Latams wil love it, one over on the Gringo's.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 06:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Damn! I had my cannons lined up on the entrance for when he comes out. And WH had lined up some pork scratchings and a nice Melton Mobrey pie too... Let's find out where he is meeting the Eurotwats and have a nice welcome party waiting like they did for the disembarking P&O pensioners!

Jan 31st, 2013 - 06:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Argentinian politician meets the British politician.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 06:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The other two mock representatives go stand in the corner.
The islanders are just an extension of Great Britain, spend the same money, speak the same language, have the same ...yuck...monarch, same military, culture, laws, same everything with some novelties thrown in (oh look heres a slightly different stamp , in a weak attempt to be a country (all the world see's through it).
Look just own up and say its a bit of England, stop this franchising BS throughout the world, it only causes trouble and huge animosity towards the very country they claim to love. (theres your loyalty)
Then perhaps real self determination and diplomacy can begin. The islands would be split 50/50 tomorrow if all Britons were given the choice. Because Britons are are normally sensible, not like the other crackpot deranged Britons that remain in various bunkers around the world, causing trouble for all involved, and in this case claiming vast swathes while whinging that they want the centuries old dispute to end at their convenience, riiight about now, 'we have it good so you can stop now' wouldn't that be handy.
Unfortunately such disputes don't get forgotten overnight, as the millions of mainland Brits know.
@Vestige (# LOL you must be well pissed of, all this ON BRITISH SOIL now go kiss your leaders nasty botox lips I can not wait to see old TINMAN slapped in the chops next week
Jan 31st, 2013 - 06:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“The islanders are just an extension of Great Britain, spend the same money, speak the same language” would that make you Spanish then Vestige? or do Argentineans not speak a implant language, because they usurped the land they live in. God i hate this Colonialist attitude from the Argentina! Sometimes i think they must be living in a pre-21st century country, controlled by retards.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 06:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0OH!.........
@55, well Steve, the more we see these statements where AR will only talk to the UK, not elected members of the FI, the more it AR appears to be desperate for validation from London.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 06:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Or as I said once. http://en.mercopress.com/2012/10/08/americas-defense-ministers-summit-rejects-addressing-falklands-issue
@65 wow that was some spiel, few pick ups though.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 06:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the only one that will be standing in the corner is tinman whilst he gets his arse handed to him on a plate.
It's not a bit of England it's a BRITISH OVERSEAS TERRITORY the clues in the title dipshit.
Think the chance of a 50/50 split is way off the mark try 98/2 against rgenweener owning any of the Falkland Islands.
None of our overseas colonys cause us any problems the only cause of problems is jealous twats like rgenweener that want something they can't have.
You are right on just one point though disputes don't get forgotten, we will never forget 1982, and thats why you will always be in our shadow and watch on enviously as the Falklands go from strengh to strengh.
So trot on and be prepared to be highly embarrassed when the Tinman cancels. And even if he doesn't cancel still be prepared.
There will be pirate show

Not yours. never have been, never will be. Time you learned to live with that, because frankly, you are all getting rather pathetic with your never ending whining.
65 Vestige
Jan 31st, 2013 - 07:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Your attitude, of contempt and hostility towards Falkland Islanders is the best illustration of why there is no long term solution to this 'dispute' in sight. Your frankly colonialist attitude just won't do in this day and age.
Your description of the islands' society and culture has no basis in reality, and doesn't become any more true just because you keep saying it. If it were true, and the islands was 'just another part of England', then there wouldn't be a problem, would there? We would all just go 'home' and that would be the end of it.
We are Falkland Islanders first and British second, and our 'loyalty' doesn't stretch to destroying ourselves so that the British government can have a nice cup of tea with Timerman without things getting awkward.
I don't know what gave you the idea that you were qualified to talk on behalf of the 'average Briton'. Given your almost complete ignorance about the Falkland Islands, I see no reason to think you know anything about Britain either.
Another option for HE the Foreign Minister. He might choose to turn up with the Fabiana Rios and a gang of portfolio holders from the Provincial Government. Then the local politicians could talk at each other until they tire themselves out, leaving the two ministers to get down to the real business of relations between the two nations.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 07:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As we're talking political stunts, perhaps Governor Rios could relay to her subordinate executives on the Islands the progress of her simultaneous Referendum asking The Question of the whole of her bailiwick.
@Monty69 They are bitter and jealous nation so let the world see these sad Argentines refusing to speak to a peaceful community I ask WHAT ARE YOU AFFRAID OF?? perhaps THE TRUTH????
Jan 31st, 2013 - 07:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@73 there are two options sit and talk to the MLA's in the presence of WH and look stupid, or cancel and look stupid, either way rgenweener is not coming out of this one looking anything but stupid. End of.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 07:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you look at some of the Spanish speaking forums it seems The Argentine people have alot more sense than there govermant, they are asking why not talk to The Islanders-seems CFKs Govermant is way out of touch

Jan 31st, 2013 - 07:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0William Hague said he wasn't going to discuss anything about Falkland Islands sovereignty without FIG representatives being present. It seems like a good way forward from the present stalemate to have our elected representative on hand just in case the conversation heads in that direction.
If you object to that approach, then I suggest you lobby your elected representatives for a change in government policy and vote accordingly at the next UK general election. That is, if you aren't a feeble Argentine troll, in which case you have even less opportunity to influence UK government policy. Never mind.
Dear me, it gets right up your colonialist nose to see us pesky Falkland Islanders getting above ourselves, doesn't it, you old dinosaur. Well I'm tugging my forelock for you right now, but it's a hopeless cause I fear. The world will just move on.
@70 sorry Xavi but that is the start of the climbdown, the excuse will be we are not coming because they insist we talk to MLA's. He has to meet William Hague as part of the diplomacy pact in fact HE requested it, so he's between a rock and a hard place, only way is to cancel and look like a fool AGAIN.

Argentina needs to learn other countrys are not just going to jump to there demands and do things there way,unfortunate if your Argentine you have no choice with your leaders policy of Her Way Or No way ,that does not apply beyond your borders you need to learn the heart of deplomecy after all your dealing with the country that invented it GREAT BRITAIN.

Jan 31st, 2013 - 07:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Timerman would have been better pulling a stunt at a neutral venue. But to go into the enemy's HQ where you have no control over anything and you are trying to argue a case that is miserably weak to begin with, is suicidal. By rolling out the red carpet Britain can say it is playing fair by (non-binding) UN resolutions to talk. It's lose lose for Team RG. I'm struggling to imagine what possible scenario they have in mind that could make them look good here. The 18 “outstanding” Europeans will need to be absolute A-listers to have any chance of avoiding a total whitewash. Either way it'll make great telly!

Jan 31st, 2013 - 07:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Tell you what, since Argentina is th size of India and only has a population of 41million why don't we have a 50/50 split of that land with the UK. It's not like you need all that space.
That makes a lot more sense than the Falklanders giving up half their territory to a nation that shows them nothing but malice and has a history of aggression against them. Who on earth would want their enemy in their property when they can have the nearly 300miles away?
@81 totally agree they must have seen this coming, they will look really bad for refusing to talk, whilst Britain and the Falklands will just say you had the opportunity but refused. The whole point of him coming is to put forward thier case however weak it is to 18 “outstanding” people, so to be seen to refuse to talk to either WH and the MLA's will not go down well with the UN or in fact any international committee LOSE LOSE.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 07:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Argentine Government is clearly scared sh****ss of the referendum and what it will do to their relentless campaign to colonise the Falklands.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 07:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Chances are they will end up with a bunch of no-makrk dimwits from the EU at an expensive champagne party at the Embassy, not discuss anything, and then claim they have huge European support. The EU-CELAC summit recently clearly proved quite the opposite.
The last throes of a failing Foreign Minister perhaps ??

@77 Let's deal with the abuse first. I am not an Argentinian Troll; salaried or otherwise. Neither am I a dinosaur, being not yet extinct.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 07:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My gratuitous advice to Argentina on how to deal with you ungrateful colonists has only one objective. To drive you into the arms of the UK. My political strategy is very much forward looking. Extraction of the UK from the EU and incorporation of the Overseas Territories and Dependencies into the UK so that they can contribute to reducing the UK National Debt and the annual deficit. Once in the UK our elected representatives can then discuss devolution.
Splendid plan don't you think? Defeat Argentinian aspirations by meeting the one criteria the C24 can't reject. Integration.
I look forward to your support in the forthcoming Referendum. Vote NO for a debate

On another point, did you see this gem from Penguin News?
Finally, a late paper was submitted [to EXCO] requesting that funds previously allocated for observer costs for the forthcoming Referendum be reallocated to cover additional administrative costs. EXCO paper 205/12 had previously requested funding for 'covering the cost of the observers, their travel, accommodation and subsistence'. As planning for the referendum has progressed it has become clear that it would be inappropriate for FIG to fund any aspect of the observer mission, hence the redirection of this funding.
Or could it be there will no Observers, UN or otherwise? Either way, I remain convinced that this political stunt was the work of a bunch of political amateurs.

In your case, the quacking is remarkably, consistently, and repeatedly pro-Argentine, even when it professes not to be. I'm sure, for example, that your proposed integration option must be music in the ears of those who like to keep the Malvinistas in a state of fizzing agitation, and indeed of those who enjoy getting into such a state themselves.
Or maybe you really believe that the integration option would shut up Argentina, make us friends in Latin America, and retain our support in the rest of the world?

And these heavily pregnant women gave birth during the 10 week window?
Maybe it was the shock of watching the murder of Mestevier that forced them into labour....or perhaps having to endure watching the gang rape of his wife???
It seems awfully harsh, that your government (or more accurately the government of the United Provinces) would select heavily pregnant women as part of a 50 strong militia to set up a penal colony...
I also don't see any record in your “National Archives” of 1-2 month old infants being part of the group that left in January 1833.

England's INVASION of Argentine territory indisputably with Argentine authorities there, with a flag flying at Puerto Soledad (the Argentina of course).
If these events had not occurred, there would be no ugly kelper but only Argentines as in any other part of our country.
Also here's a tiny sample of Argentine Malvinas born long before they began to get the okupas sent from London, of course, then take over our islands. Also those okupas are only 1000, make no mistake, the other 2000 can not even be considered Argentine by Argentine law. Only okupas.

Feb 01st, 2013 - 02:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0AND
The diary of Vernet's wife proves that Vernet knew the Islands were not Argentine when he took his workers there, and his getting papers for his workers from the UK to allow his workers to live on the islands should give even the most stupid person a huge hint as to who Vernet considered to control the islands.
In the days of wind powered ships and basic communication methods the 'Argentine' soldiers and their hangers-on only lasted 2 months before being evicted by the UK. Again, even the most stupid person should be able to grasp that if Vernet had made any sort of claim for 'Argentina' (as he did - at least in the diary - in 1829) from the start of his venture, his stay on the island would have been very, very short or even not have happened.
I'm afraid, if you look at the historical documents, and are capable of even the slightest critical analysis, you will have to conclude that Vernet was at least a migrant worker in British territory and you could even go as far as an immigrant to British territory.
Oh, and just for further notice, if you are going to quote me: don't actually type the opposite to what I wrote in your quote. It makes it really obvious that you are a liar when people have to 2 posts to compare ON THE SAME WEBPAGE.
It also makes you look really stupid.

Feb 01st, 2013 - 02:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0I was not talking about Vernet but if that's the point ...
Vernet, a German immigrant to the Rio de la Plata, with Pacheco asked the central government of Buenos Aires land concessions for exploitation in Soledad Island was granted, and also was given the title of Political and Military Commander all the Malvinas Islands in 1829 (from the English for these Argentine beaches, no news, because recognizing the Spanish sovereignty, the very pirates had retired in 1774). They are known all measures adopted after Vernet enforce laws against Argentine sailors who came and fished on the islands (field no one got in until the arrival of Vernet). This means that fully exercised the attributes of his office. For example, the illegal fishing boats catch Americans involved, as I remember, the only time that Argentina severed diplomatic relations with the U.S.
After Vernet preferred if this or any other sovereignty in the islands, is absolutely irrelevant. An individual can not decide the sovereignty of a part of the national territory and, therefore, if it existed, has no value. Could be Vernet, Juan or Pedro would be the same.

@153 José Malvinero: Glad you agree. Then CFK and her hangers-on were full of shit at the UN C24 when they claimed Argentina's claim to the Falklands was from 1829.
Already British territory. The UK claim did not expire in 1774, just as the Spanish claim MAY not have expired in 1811 when they evacuated to Montevideo (although some say it reverted to France at this point).
Either way Spain only gave up its claim in 1836, so you have been caught writing lies again.
@155: Argentina (in whatever form) has proven throughout its history that it will do and say whatever it likes, no matter what the reality is.
With this in mind your statement, “The government of Buenos Aires could not take the actions you took in the Malvinas if it not belonged” can be viewed as complete drivel.
Well done. Your help in pulling apart the Argentine Malvinas myth is really appreciated.

Feb 01st, 2013 - 06:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0On one hand you say that you cannot be an islander if you are not born there.
Then you agree that no Argentine has ever been born there
So there has never been an Argentine Islander...
You then say, well there would have been if it weren't for Jan 3rd 1833, when the 50 murderers, rapists and mutineers, who'd only been there 2 months were removed by the crew of HMS Clio.
In the grand scheme of the Americas, and the removal of indigenous people, by both Northern and Southern Europeans....it's not really up there is it?
2 months...50 people...already murdered and raped....most of them European...not a shot fired.
Sorry mucker....don't feel too bad about that one.
Perhaps the 900 deaths on your conscience in 1982 should weigh more heavily.

@171 Kind of you to ask. Sadly, I don't subscribe. On the other hand, I will take the opportunity to highlight that the wider public (after all we are the audience for this stunt) has still to learn just who it is that is recognising and supervising this consultative Referendum of yours. The FCO doesn't count (how droll I am).
Feb 02nd, 2013 - 09:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0Further, whilst I normally don't double post, you may not have seen this cracker from Exco.
Finally, a late paper was submitted requesting that funds previously allocated for observer costs for the forthcoming Referendum be reallocated to cover additional administrative costs. EXCO paper 205/12 had previously requested funding for 'covering the cost of the observers, their travel, accommodation and subsistence'. As planning for the referendum has progressed it has become clear that it would be inappropriate for FIG to fund any aspect of the observer mission, hence the redirection of this funding.
With just over a month to go it finally dawned on someone that paying the expenses of observers was inappropriate. Amateurs..
That was very rude of me with the toilet humour, please allow me to apologise.
Feb 02nd, 2013 - 09:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0I am very sorry Mr President.

No information whatsoever for us, the wider public (“after all, we are the audience for this stunt” :-) about who those ”International Independent Observers” are.
No reservations in any Malvinas homestay, hostel, hotel, lodge, motel, remote house or settlement for any ”International Independent Observers”……
Neither any reservations on LAN for any ”International Independent Observers”……

(How troll we are)
There! Much more truthful and most certainly more accurate.
@189 Let me take time out of my busy evening to explain. It's a play on the word “count”, because that's what one does with a Referendum; one counts votes. However, as any representative of any country or territory with HM the Queen as Head of State could hardly be described as independent, the FCO can't supervise it. It wouldn't count i.e. it wouldn't be correct. Very subtle, understated and mildly humourous, as is poaching it from another poster and layering it with an ironic touch of one's own.
Feb 02nd, 2013 - 06:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Were one a troll hunter of any merit one would point to the following inflammatory, extraneous, and off-topic comment as being the real work of a Troll and a not at all droll one at that:

Now having got that clear, why not review your own post and see if it identifies you as JB-like “more Troll than droll” too?
It seems strange that Jacoba Timerman , (Hector Timerman`s father ) was tortured and imprisoned in Argentina for his support for human rights, a quality his son seems to be lacking. Jacoba timerman born in Ukraine emigrated to Argentina 1928. H.T. is a 1st. born Argentinian trying to move 8th. & 9th. generation Falkland Islanders. The man`s an idiot !

@195 It's JB and his parvenu cronies' way of sharing their good fortune with those Islanders who have been there from birth and are still there. He wants them to vote YES, and this is just a bit of fiscal encouragement to believe that things can only get better by staying the way they are.

I think it is hilarious when Argentines deduce that the UN resolutions requesting the UK and Argentina talk imply that the UN charter suddenly does not exist.
Feb 03rd, 2013 - 10:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0People in the foreign office seem to be scared of these resolutions but they quite clearly state that the Islanders interests are taken into account.
Therefore, Hague is 100% correct to invite MLA's along to view their interests as the indigenous population.
Hague is also complying with the UN Charter, of which all the points even territorial integrity, if this is examined properly, support the Falkland Islands.
Therefore Timerman's rejection of the chance to talk is against his favoured resolution which was made null and void by 1982 and resolution 502.
Hopefully by now, the sleepy MLA's will have acquainted themselves with the history of the islands from 1765-1820 and thereon which seem with careful analysis from many of the informed posters on here, to refute Argentinas claims.
I realise the claims are farcical but like some posters here, I think the MLAs (and the UK Foreign Office) should waste no opportunity to counter the Argentines when they misquote history, especially relating to 1833.
Full credit though to the MLAs who are getting out in the world to get their viewpoint across in the subtle way they are expert in.
