The next president of the Republic should be kept appraised of such matters, but must be left in no doubt that the “English” Turnips, will not be contributing to his campaign fund. El Turnip in Chief is entrusted to ensure that the heir presumptive properly advised om matters of finance.
Mar 15th, 2013 - 10:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0One thing about South Georgia that does surprise me is that Argentina hasn't decided to rename the islands in their usual charming way (not thinking of the whole series of names of Stanley at all (Puerto Soledad, Puerto Rivero, Puerto de la Isla Soledad, Puerto de la Islas Malvinas, Puerto Argentino) about which I'm sure there was an undertaking signed back in 1994 about using the right names for places. Just another Argentine “agreement”, and we're all used to seeing their life expectancy whizz by...

@6 Argentina does have various names, but they show little in the way of originality. The South Georgia group are called Georgias del Sur. The South Sandwich Islands are called Islas Sandwich del Sur. Possibly more “interesting” is that South Georgia Island is also called Pepys Island (San Pedro in Spanish). But how about the origin of the names. South Georgia was originally named “the Isle of Georgia” in honour of King George III. The South Sandwich Islands were originally named “Sandwich Land” in honour of the 4th Earl of Sandwich, then First Lord of the Admiralty. It's quite amazing that Britain could discover and claim these territories in 1775 and that argieland thinks it could “pop up” and claim them in 1927 and 1938 and get away with it!

@9 It's because their demi-god Adolf promised them to Peron should he win the war. Upsettingly for Peron and his current followers, Adolf didn't win the war and so they didn't get the islands, making them resort to incessant whinging.

@12 Peron was a fervent supporter and follower of Hitler. He based his entire political strategy, including that of territorial nationalism on the works of mussolini and hitler after being wined and dined by them in Europe. Your current political parties are all fervent 'Peronist', therefore aligned to a political ideology that is factually 'hitlerist'. It is widely known that Hitler informally promised the islands and lands to the Argentines if they won the war.
Mar 15th, 2013 - 03:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You emptily accusing me of mentioning Hitler without actually understanding the reasoning behind why this is a valid association, is in itself flawed.
Get over it, I just did.

He still has never explained how the 59 people from the UP (in his National Archives) who arrived in November 1832 and were evicted in January 1833 (after mutiny, murder and rape....my, they were busy) constitutes:
“the original population”
“the Argentine population”
“the Argentine Authorities”
Or any other of the weird and wonderful names the Malvinistas come up with. enter descriptions are
“mutineers”
“murderers”
“rapists”
“militia”
“deportees”
“vagabonds”
“conscripts”
So, to refresh the actual historical events
The British, in (ADD “response to”) a blatant act of 19th century colonialism, evicted the (United provinces militia, murderers and rapists) Argentine authoties (who'd arrived 2 months previously) and supported the small civilian community for the next 180 years.
