Disclaimer & comment rulesThose boys have lain there at peace for over 30 years. Many of them remain unidentified because their fellow ARGENTINES refused to assist in identifying them on the battlefields to the British forces.

If they are to be exhumed - then sorry folks it is irrelevant what Arg or the Int Red Cross may say - that is Falklands soil and only Falkland Islands Govt can give that permission.and they will not be reburied there - they would be repatriated- Full Stop - end of.
I'm wondering what percentage DNA of the mad botox-riddled mutant is still human. It tells you the ghoulish mentality when they're willing to exploit dead bodies as a cheap political trick.
Apr 03rd, 2013 - 02:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0The UK and FI governments offered to repatriate these bodies years ago and Argentina refused, claiming that they were already buried on Argentine soil i.e. using them for political gain. To claim that it's anyone but their fault that the boys haven't been identified and returned home is sick and negligent.

Just because you stole the island 180 years ago doesn't mean you own it.
@Tubalcain Alhambra, ARE YOU STUPID?? The whole of South America is an inplanted population mainly European immigrants,what makes you different from The islanders??? FFS your Botox queen is called Kirchner where the hell do you think that comes from? get a grip with history

Apr 03rd, 2013 - 11:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0But, don't you worry, sonny. The future is CERTAIN. 100% certain. The Islands will remain BRITISH for the foreseeable future. Then, when the Islanders are ready, the Islands will be INDEPENDENT. Most probably including a defence treaty with Britain and a continued British military presence.
Be satisfied. You have somewhere called “Malvinas Argentinas” in Cordoba Province. It's all you'll EVER have. Get used to it.

Yet, I don't think that the islanders have any claims. The GDP of the falklands is 100 million and their defense cost is 90 million. They are just means to an end. The end being militarization of the south Atlantic, theft of resources, power projections(jingoism) in britain and perpetuation of colonialism.
Stop deflecting the facts.

It's hard to look at the “innocent falklanders” and see anything but colonialist aggressors. For a lot of people their wishes mean nothing more than a front aiming to legitimize a land grab.
So you will agree then that Argentines being born of Spanish pirates are no different?? they are inplanted immigrants from Europe

“... securing a base of operation to launch wars of aggression against mainland South America like the ones in 1806 and 1807 when britain tried to capture Buenos Aires.”
The attacks on Buenos Aires in 1806 and 1807 were launched from Soth Africa, not from the Falkland Islands, there has never beeen an attack on mainland South America from the Falklands, so your comment about “colonialist agressors” is really a bit ridiculous!!!!!!
@Tubalcain Alhambra here are a few home truths for you that unfortunately make you sound stupid.
Apr 03rd, 2013 - 02:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The European settlers who now populate Argentina – Italian, Spanish, German, Welsh – are the relatively recent inheritors of colonisers who quite simple exterminated the people whose land this was.” This process, which continued from 1820 to 1880, reached its apogee with what became known as The Desert Campaign of 1879, long after Argentina became independent from Spain.
Parris quotes the leader of the Desert Campaign, General Julio Argentino Roca, who later became President of Argentina and whose name and statues litter Argentina today as saying, “Our self-respect as a virile people obliges us to put down as soon as possible, by reason or by force, the handful of savages who destroy our wealth and prevent us from definitely occupying, in the name of law, progress and our own security, the richest and most fertile lands of the Republic.”
Referring to the claim that a civilian Argentine population was expelled from the Falklands in 1833, Parris says, ”It makes the blood boil to hear the current President of Argentina, in her recent letter to David Cameron, describe a pantomime skirmish involving a handful of people (most of whom stayed put anyway and kept their property) on some windswept islands far out into the ocean as having “forcibly stripped” her countrymen of their rightful land; and as being a blatant exercise of 19th Century colonialism.“ The hypocrisy!
Parris continues by calling Argentina the ”Rhodesia of the New World“ and asks, ”If Britain forcibly stripped Argentina of the Falkland Islands, what does Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner think the nation she leads did on the mainland? What words would she find for the cold-blooded and systematic destruction and total dispossession of Argentina's original population by the European invaders whose descendants' votes she now seeks?”
#16 Once again another Argie Troll that has been brainwashed from birth being fed lies which they endlessly repeat like demented robots. Short on facts, ignorant of history and full of shit. And, just like all the others they eschew living in Rgland because its an awful place to live your life.

Apr 03rd, 2013 - 02:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The list of names is also on file in Argentine National Archives.
As for plundering - can you tell me who controls the fishing and hydrocarbon zones around the islands?
Answer is Falkland Islands Govt
Who receives any licensing and royalty revenues form these areas?
Answer is - The Falkland Islands Govt.
Also Defence Costs are a bit out - you say £90million - actual last year was just over £60million
Also Which Country,s Defence Minister has stated in public that if the British Forces were NOT in the Islands - then his forces would re-occupy?
Answer is - Argentine Defence Minister Putrelli.

13 Tubalcain Alhambra who may I ask did we steel the Islands from. You answer that and maybe you have a case. I think you will find that Argentina did not exist when our people settled this land so not sure how you presume we stole it. further where did you steel your land from . Wouldn't be from the indigenous people by any chance . Do Not even attempt to educate us about who owns the Falklands until you have educated yourself who actually owns Argentina. Also the article says it all. All those unknown and known who are buried beneath British Soil should be removed and returned to the Country they came from in my book they had no right to be here in the first place because it did not belong to them no matter how you tell it. The Falklands belong to the people that live there who settled on them without firing a single shot in anger. Your lot well need I say anymore.
Apr 03rd, 2013 - 06:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Dig them all up, ship them back and let them do what they want with the remains. They shouldn't have been buried there in the first place and it would remove any reason for Argentines to visit the islands with their smug faces.
Apr 03rd, 2013 - 06:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Dig them all up ship them back and make sure they pay up front to cover the cost,if I remember rightly The Argentines even made it difficult to send the living back after the war
Apr 03rd, 2013 - 06:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I admire the UK and the FALKLANDERS for having put up with all the rhetoric from Argentina and not sinking to their level. The Argies if they want to identify their dead why don't they send specialists and repatriate them. Because Argentina states that they are buried in Argentinian soil. Therefore any British buried in Argentinian cemeteries ( Buenos Aires ) by inference are buried in English soil. Seems logical to me.

Apr 03rd, 2013 - 07:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They should be given a simple choice, repatriate them or they will be given sea burials. We need to start getting ruthless with these Argentines, I am personally sick to the back teeth of them.
Apr 03rd, 2013 - 07:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@16,19 One final response to you, Cain, before you are consigned to the trollpit. Can you explain why there are no British military bases on South Georgia or the South Sandwich Islands? After all, if one is going to “militarise” somewhere the size of the South Atlantic, doesn't it make sense to put in military bases across the area? It's not difficult. Argieland covertly and illegally put a naval base on the British territory of Thule Island. As for resources, do you have evidence of the “secret” British whaling fleets? In respect of fishing, why are accusations not levelled against Spain, Japan, Taiwan, all of whom fish in the area? And, finally, the matter of the “wars of aggression”. We British have been very remiss there, haven't we? We've been on the Falkland Islands since 1690 and all we've done is to mount two small landings. In the “invasion” of 1806, Britain landed 1,668 troops with 6,000 more in reserve at Montevideo. In 1807, Britain landed up to 12,000 soldiers. Contrast that with the second landing of British forces in Portugal in 1809. They went ashore and stayed. They freed Portugal from the French and then moved into Spain. More defeats for the French and the British moved into France. It was called the Peninsular War. Can you add the two together and realise that, in 1806/7, Spain was a French puppet with “possessions” in South America? Do you criticise the Allies for landing at Anzio in 1944 and driving on Rome? The comparison? In 1944, the Allies landed in Italy to fight the Germans. In 1806/7, the British landed at Buenos Aires to fight the Spanish. As they were entitled to do. The argie “slant” that Britain invaded argieland is a lie. Unsurprising, argies have been lying since the 40s. When Hitler told Peron he could have the bits of the British Empire he fancied.

The innocent natives that enslaved women and children?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19589019
”Of the 310 individuals from whom DNA was extracted, 249 (80.3%) were assigned to one of the founding native American haplogroups. This finding confirms the persistence at high prevalence of native maternal lineages in the rural populations of central Argentina”
Many native populations were preserved to this day.The country was very loosely populated in the first place and there was no systematic extermination, unlike the one that was carried out in Africa and India by the British empire. It's pathetic when the biggest colonial aggressors (UK) point fingers.
