Mar 18th, 2013 - 06:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 01. BK is that you showing your true colours?
Mar 18th, 2013 - 06:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 02. Are we looking at the same photographs? She looks wrinkled, and she has more slap on her face than a tart touting for business.
3. Neither the Pope or the Catholic Church has any sway in the UK. God's representative on Earth is the Queen of England, Defender of the faith etc...
4. Now that he is Pope, he has bigger fish to fry. The most he will do is suggest that the UK and Argentina talk, which is what we have been willing to do, only it's Argentina that refuses to do so.
She has ruined her country and now she is going to ruin the Vatican !
Mar 18th, 2013 - 06:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“I asked Pope Francis for his holy intervention in the Malvinas case ” The Pope intervening in the 1970s over the islands in the Beagle channel was firstly between two catholic countries, Argentina and Chile, and secondly he intervened because they were about to go to war!
Oh the original post 1 has disappeared, but I could've sworn it was BK despite his using a pseudonym.

Good points regarding the Beagle channel dispute.
Perhaps someone needs to remind the president of Argentina and the new pontiff that the dispute over the Falklands ended on 12 June 1982 with the Argentine surrender.
As far as Britain in concerned, there is no dispute.
If Argentina has a problem with that then they can take it to the International Court of Justice, otherwise she should STFU, and actually turn her attention to the fact that the country she was elected to President to run, is falling down around her ears.
The woman is a disgrace, what depths will she go to in hiding from her people the truth of her bad management of her Nation by keeping up the 'Malvinas'dispute. The Pope has much more to do than mess about with this woman's futile grasp on International relations, she needs to learn some grace from the Pope before she opens her mouth any more. Total and utter idiot. Can't believe that she has actually chose to speak about the Falklands thingon her first ever meeting with this 'man' who now leads the worlds Catholic Faith, what the hell he can do about it is anyones guess.

Mar 18th, 2013 - 06:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Lol.
Sincerely, Henry VIII and various glorious descendants.
Bring it on! I'd love to see him even try it, and as if the Roman Catholic church in Europe isn't already in enough trouble, the sort of humiliating foxtrot oscar that any such meddling will result in, will be something to behold and laugh about for years to come.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 06:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This exchange may well start a serious legal issue and rightly so. The Pope is an Argentine and because of that CFK has no legal right to ask for his intervention in the Falkland’s issue. Any democratic government will confirm that in this situation he would be required to declare his interests and politely refuse CFK's request.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 06:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is wrong and will cause serious world tension if he is allowed to intervene in what is a dispute that He has publically stated is one that favours the Argentine outcome. CFK is so desperate she will stoop to any low to try and get her way. I say to the democracies of the world do not allow this to happen.
A word of warning to “Pope Francis”. Approximately 2,000 years ago, Saint Peter was crucified upside down as he said he wasn't worthy to be executed in the same way as the Christ. Unless you are careful, the same could happen to you. As an indication of where you're going. You already have two known “strikes” against you. First, you're argentine. Second, you supported the junta and made no attempt to save brave priests. You are already 2/3 of the way to perdition and eternal damnation. In case you aren't aware, CFK IS the serpent.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 06:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well seeming as the Vatican cannot release what was said do you actually believe she asked that question she could say anything as the Vatican will never comment. She would stoop that low she is that desperate. Remember who we're talking about here TMBOA

Mar 18th, 2013 - 06:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This THING is a disgrace, it has prostituted itself around the world with its lies and propoganda and now moves on to The Vatican, to be Argentine I would be truly ashamed.

Mar 18th, 2013 - 06:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I expect the Pope will have smiled and shown her the door. He knows that even if he was stupid enough to raise the issue he would be slapped down. That wouldn't be a great start would it?
The woman is desperate and bonkers. Apparently her health is deteriorating fast, the reason she had to leave Venezuela before Chavez's funeral, and she is obsessed with this issue being her legacy. The Falklands will never by Argentine, so she will be remembered for her insanity about them, rather than any success.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 06:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Saw the meeting on TV ...
Mar 18th, 2013 - 06:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0CFK unpacked from a bag some urns, removing the bubble-wrap and passed them to the Pope.
This would be like the British Queen carrying half a dozen Tesco bags - 'bag-lady' style - and rooting around in them to present some 'family ashes' to the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Seriously, could you see our Queen doing what CFK did?
Perhaps the pope might lend CFK the SWiss Guard.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 06:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There's only 130 or so of them but I'm sure they would make a better fist of it than the Argentine forces in 82.
Pretty sure the Jim Bowen look-alike is now in a position to politely decline the offer, - He won't be giving a shit about the malvinas or her, or argentina - He's the pope now.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 06:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It was for mate' Geoff, cups and bonbilla. Argentina's version of you Brit's with tea. I am sure he drinks it.....served to him.....lol. I think it was her way of saying....“remember your roots, you are Argentine” as in her mind that will change things. A Pope has not come between two nations in 500 years and I highly doubt this one will change that.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 06:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So Elaine, what have you heard of her health, there is always speculation? I just assumed it was either her ego or not good with be seen with Ahmadinejad. Perhaps she did have thyroid cancer and they just told her ...“my bad” and slowly die. Another CIA assassination plot.
Absolutely disgraceful. How low can you stoop. It'll be interesting too see what fellow South American and Catholic countries make of her harassing the Pope about this issue.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 07:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, I hope you are right @ 18.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 07:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now that I have calmed down a little from seeing how crazy she has behaved and that the Pope must be above such things I supose all that has happened is that she has once again made a big fat fool of herself on the world stage. I would like to think that the Pope is chuffed that it is she who must now grovel at his feet and kiss his ring (arse).
“The Argentine leader recalled John Paul II intervention during the conflict of Argentina with Chile over the control of the Beagle channel”
Mar 18th, 2013 - 07:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0These two countries, before going to the Pope, went to the Queen of England to resolve this dispute, and Argentina refused to accept her resolution. Is that right?
Interesting composition of the 'delegation'. What is a longhorsemen's union?
Mar 18th, 2013 - 07:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This doesnt seem to be going down well with people. I'm afraid that her obsession is now starting to appear like an illness.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 07:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0General feeling is that she has embarrassed the Pope.
@19 It seems to be thyroid medication related hence her constantly being ordered to rest or not take trips abroad. It is not being controlled well as can be seen by her constantly changing appearance - she looks very swollen at times. I heard that her doctors said she could not stand in the extreme heat for six hours at the funeral, so she went home.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 07:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@22 I think two devoutly Catholic countries going to the Pope is somewhat different to the Falkland Islands issue. It will never happen.
You just have to laugh at this, now she wants an Argy and self-confessed malvinista to mediate in the alleged Falklands dispute, absolutely fu*king priceless.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 07:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Is this before, or after he issues a Papal Bull making goals scored by hand ball legal when it’s the hand of God.
Speaking of Papal bull, what’s this talk of the S Georgia/S Sandwich Islands?? I thought Pope Malv the 1st’s predecessor, Pope Alexander VI gave those Islands to Portugal in 1492.
Someone should explain to her about the Reformation, or better still King Billy.
The white smoke over the Falklands was a much purer white than the lighter shade of grey smoke over the Vatican.

Cant stand the catholic church (cant stand any churches tbph) but I almost feel sorry for this Pope.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 07:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0At least he had the good sense to get the dirtiest job out of the way first though.
It shows an appalling lack of understanding by CFK to assume that any Pope would be viewed as a good arbitrator in Britain though. Does this woman know no history at all?
I know that Argentina has been poisoning its children with revisionist history for decades, but don't they learn anything of use?
Britain isnt Catholic majority, we kicked the Pope out centuries ago and hes a frakin Argentine (even if only just) - how the heck will that be “neutral”.
She must be clinically mad...she's certainly clueless...and she's shown she is willing to prostitute herself to anybody and anything for a snifter at sezing the Falklands.
Thank God (haha) that Argentina has no military: this mad-bovine would've be ordering an attack already if they did have one.

You diminish our own troops bravery by ridiculing the then enemy... and many of the Argentine soldiers and airmen fought bravely and honorably.
(The Navy mostly did “Brave, Brave, Sir Robbin” acts though)
Regardless, if they had the capacity I have no doubt that mad-moo CFK would send them in again if there was even the slightest chance of success.

Actually, just because I have my pedantic head on at the minute, the Queen would have to offer herself the family ashes because she is Head of State and the Head (Pope) of the Anglican Church, but your point is made.
Francis needs to distance himself from this lunatic woman as soon as possible.
The 1st thing he should do is order the Catholic Church in Argentina to pull down those politicised posters CFK has put up. A Pope is not supposed to be political, he is apolitical, so he can appeal to all sections of Catholic society.
So he cannot be a Peronist, or a Marxist, or a Socialist, or a Conservative, or a Republican, or a Democrat, or a Fascist.
The minute he starts showing political leanings one way or another, his credibility, and by association the Catholic Church's credibility (what little there is left of it after all the scandal), is finished.

No doubt as Pontiff he will try to distance himself (as much as he can) from these earthly matters (and this distasteful woman), but from previous form we already know that underneath the new red socks and Papal gown, beats the heart of an Argentinian Malvinista.

Excellent proposal from the president of all Argentines.
Mar 19th, 2013 - 02:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Cristina Fernandez said he requested the “mediation” of the Pope to “achieve dialogue in the Malvinas issue”. And that the request had been made with “a double conviction”. The President recalled the moment “dramatic” and “terrible” in 1978, when Chile and Argentina “were governed by two dictatorships” and were on the verge of war over the sovereignty of the Beagle Channel. At that time, the mediation of Pope John Paul II allowed an agreement that was then “plebiscite in democracy.” Cristina Fernandez noted in this context that the only risk that exists today “is the militarization that the UK is having on the South Atlantic.” Consequently, “as Argentina is a peaceful country, all I want is to meet the many UN resolutions to sit down to dialogue: this is what we ask the Holy Father. His mediation to achieve a dialogue between the parties. ”It is recalled that some time ago Bergoglio said “Falklands ours.”
Further evidence that Argentina seeks dialogue and peace under international law and the resolutions of the UN General Assembly (2065) and the committee of United Nations decolonization.
World public opinion welcomes this proposal, because unfortunately UK remains committed to the power of weapons, violence and colonialism and imperialism of the 21st century.
Welcome then this contribution to peace and dialogue.
Why did she dress in black? It is a not a funeral.....besides she wants to make a political statement by asking to intervene in the Falklands dispute. That's a low down shame!

Even for you this statement must by now now have a “hollow ring” to it, as we say.
Events (or rather the lack of them) have shown that outside S America there is no real support for Argentina on this matter.
Inside S America support is limited to words only (and one meaningless gesture) in most cases, the only one willing to help you is now dead.
And this was before the referendum, now more than enough countries have, and will, accept the result to ensure that the Argentinian argument of an implanted population (always hilariously funny coming from an Argentinian, as the rest of the world knows well) having no rights in this matter, will never be accepted by the UN or any sensible country.
Even an Argentinian and self-confessed malvinista Pope, isn’t going to help you.
You should reflect on that!

Listen don't believe everything in the press. I was there at that meeting and I can categorically state that when the President of Argentina came in to the room Pope Francis strode right towards her and before she could utter one word pressed his right finger onto her lips and said “my dear Cristina” please don't speak of the Falklands in my presence don't you know that I am like a man walking against the tide“I am an Argentine” and no one trusts an Argentine. I heard her whisper in his ear No No I am not here to talk about the Falklands I am here to see if you have the keys to the vaults yet and if you and I could take a stroll and see whats in them. Pope Francis rolled his eyes and whispered back “for Gods sake woman let me get my feet under the table” before we plunder the Vatican vaults for the Motherland don't you know how long it has taken me to get to this position I have been planing this for quite sometime. And then Michael Caine walked into the room and gave a discreet little cough and he turned with a smile on his face and asked Michael if he had managed to get a few Mini cars. Don't worry your Poppiness I have everything in hand said Michael, and then he shooed Cristina to the door with the words” now get lost Doll I have far more pressing things to do than worry about a few little Islands that belong to my mate Michael's country.

The one certain fact is that Islanders are not afraid of the Argentines they are aware of them and what they could and have done make no mistake about that. Islanders are not stupid. When threatened we take action to inform others who come to protect us against thugs like the dictators of Argentina because if those thugs are not controlled be it the Falkland Islands or anywhere else in the world there would and is chaos.
Mar 21st, 2013 - 08:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0The difference of being afraid and smart is that Argentina is afraid to try another war to take the Islands because of world opinion and to be smart is that we Islanders and The United Kingdom government will inform the world what Argentina is up to so keeping the situation in a safe context.
The UK will continue to keep troops on the Islands so long as Argentine continues to sabre rattle. That is a fundamental world recognised right that Britain has to protect it’s subjects anywhere in the world.
So long as there is the likes of dictators like Argentina the Falklands will need to be military defended until that government gives up its ridiculous claim to our territory.
