Mar 26th, 2013 - 04:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0The referendum really has got them rattled, not a thing they can do but insist lol. just more of the same old story. Banksy cannot go against the fundamentals of the UN. Also I do not see what they are going to insist on.
Mar 26th, 2013 - 04:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0Banksy has already indicated that the UK is NOT in noncompliance to any resolution. I am more interested in his meeting with the head of the Decolonisation comittee, he has already indicated that its mandate has to be revised. There could possible be a major statement from Banksy coming after both meetings. Have a tendency to believe Timmerman won't be pleased. But as @3 said, they will put their own spin on it
@4 “not a thing they can do”

Mar 26th, 2013 - 07:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0Too right.
Timidman is on a fools errand. BKM has already put enough of his thoughts out in the public domain. Overhaul of UNC24, self-determination/self-expression., UK non-violation of an resolution. He's availed himself and the UN good offices and this meeting should be enough to tell Argentina they way things should be. Put up (go to ICJ) or shut up.
Marcos- do please back up silly statements with some reality? If the Referendum was Illegal as you lot claim-
Mar 26th, 2013 - 08:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0WHY are you making such a fuss about it?
Please answer this question
Am beginning to understand Timermans strategy based on @1 above. Marcos believes that because a meeting has been arranged to talk about the Falklands, it's a negative thing for the referendum, the FI, and the UK.
Mar 26th, 2013 - 08:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0So all Timerman has to do is to continually arrange meetings, make random statements mentioning the Falklands and he thinks he is somehow having a positive effect.
Keep it up Timerman, you're winning!
Trimmerman should just tick to usury like his pals. His diplomatic skills are nauseating.

What is interesting is that despite all these successes, the Falklands become more and more prosperous, and more and more detached from Argentina....it doesn't seem to be that effective.
Never mind..when BKM tells HT to FO today...it will be another “success”

And the C24 will say whatever CFK wants them to.
Publicly Timmerman will say something along the lines of “THe UN agrees with our position” in such a way as to suggest that Ban Ki moon supports them in everything they say.
Asked later Ban ki Moon will say otherwise and clarify that the UK is in no breach of any UN resolutions.

Mar 26th, 2013 - 04:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Let's get this straight. Tinbathman, supported by his bum-boys, is going to the UN SG's office to have another whinge. No doubt he will carry “proposals” from his “Head of State”. What's the offer from CFK this time? A double blowjob, an ass-shag and a straightforward screw for all members of the C24? In turns. Not that it's much of an offer. As “she” doesn't find enough “people” to give her what she wants on a regular basis. Meanwhile, does Tinbathman shag or get shagged? I favour the latter. Being a treacherous Jew imposes certain “obligations”. Getting your ass screwed regularly by anyone is one of them.
Mar 26th, 2013 - 04:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@5 Just as a simple question. As the cruise and nuclear missiles rain down, what is your “credible” response? In '82, 9 British nuclear powered submarines were off the argie coast. Unfortunately. their only armament was torpedoes. Now, in 2013, their armament includes land attack cruise missiles. Good for at least 1,500 miles. In addition,, the UK has a small number of other submarines. They can launch “other” missiles with multiple nuclear warheads. There is NO defence.
Contrary to popular belief, the United States has no control over these UK missiles or their warheads. That's why the UK “deterrent” is a UK deterrent. If the UK fires, that's how it works. Argies can “think” what they like. The U.S. cannot stop the U.K. And, in truth, the U.S. wouldn't want to. Let's face it. Shit is shit. And “argie” is unquestionably “squit shit”. Just look. Argies ARE squit shit.
So.. I'd like to watch the Timerman/Lyall Grant double bill tonight on the UN gogglebox but have no idea what 5.00pm and 5.45pm translates to in Europe. Can anyone do the math(s) for me..?

Revelation! Revelation!
@69 Don't knock it. This demonstrates the actions of “the world's greatest democracy”. In other words, “What's in it for us? Nothing? Sod it!” Look back to WW1 and WW2. Why did the U.S. get involved? In support of freedom and democracy? Not a chance. In 1917, the Zimmerman telegram revealed that the Germans had asked Mexico to enter the war, as a German ally, and attack the U.S. In 1941, the U.S. did nothing of significance until it was attacked by Japan. In truth, the U.S. acted in support of the fast buck. And do they milk it! Watch movies and the U.S. fought WW2 on its own. And yet on D-Day 6 June 1944, the Americans put 73,000 troops on 2 beaches. The British and Canadians put over 83,000 troops ashore on 3 beaches. And most of them, over 61,000, were British.

@74 Look at it this way. It's not a bad way to indicate that the USA is sitting on the fence (railings). And, with any luck, the railings will come back to bite them in the ass. I trust that the Falkland Islanders will always remember who their friends were and are. Did the Americans come to their aid in '82? No, they tried to play both sides. With all their military expertise and capabilities, they said that retaking the Islands was impossible. But Britain did it. And, in the following years, did they try any commercial ventures on the Islands? No. But Britain built Mount Pleasant, that doubles as the international airport, and Mare Harbour. Got involved in diversifying the economy. Still there. Still defending the Islanders. Still defending their land, their homes, their lives. And what do they have to pay? Nothing. Can you, or anyone, imagine the USA doing any of that out of the goodness of their hearts? And THAT is what people all around the world need to understand. The USA said it couldn't be done and the UK did it. The UK then did what the USA would never do. It put in time, effort and money to turning the Islands into a self-sufficient economy. Because we are responsible. Because it was/is RIGHT. And we can do without American PR.
