The release of further data from the 2012 Census shows that the Falkland Islands continues to work its magic on immigrants who may have arrived with short term plans but have settled for ten or more years and that the ratio of women to men in the Islands has increased considerably over the last four decades.

    “The results showed that 57% of residents consider their national identity to be 'Falkland Islander'; 24.6% consider themselves British; 9.8% St. Helenian and 5.3% Chilean”

    well well well, straight from the horses mouth a majority of the islanders class them selves as islanders with their own identity and not british, so much for trolls claims of the islanders “are all british”......
    .......are Australians british?
    .......are Canadians british?
    .......are americans british?
    .......are new zealanders british?

    no! but a majority are of british descent, just like a majority of argentine scum are of implanted Spanish colonialists, but do argentines see themselves as Spanish??

    However I can never get enough of reading The Falklands success and progress on mercopress as well as argentinas demise and constant failures.

    Argentina is a retard trying to find its mouth with a much cleverer ice-cream :))))

    The interesting thing about the Census results is that all the 29 Islanders of Argentine descent consider themselves Falkland Islanders and NOT Argentines!!!!!!

    Read it for yourself at http://www.falklands.gov.fk/assets/79-13P.pdf
    and you can ignore the spin.
    Note:
    Table 10(i) – Citizenship
    British and British Overseas Territories Citizens 2588,
    Other 237, (including 5 Argentinians)
    Total 2825.
    * 15 respondents left the related question blank but no one actually declared themselves to be a Falkland Island Citizen.

    Ah look - its the ThinkOverDOver puppet act back!
    Yea! we've really missed you.

    The ThinkSurfer side-show was nowhere near as good.

    PLEASE start up your own Sock-Puppet company, you could use Kickstarter for funding - I am CERTAIN there are enough of your fake personas and accounts to effectively fund yourselves....

    why you could have hundreds of backers instantly just by combining all your fake accounts!

    While the article is not trusted because it is the Penguins News, or of liars and gangsters, is interesting.
    Where are the famous “nine generations”? Disappearing?
    Cute puppet the population of the Falkland Islands Argentinas!
    As Timerman said: “the falklanders not exist.” A shapeless mass of mercenaries.
    LAS ISLAS MALVINAS SON ARGENTINAS: So, in Castilian.

    @11 - if the islands are argentinas where's your flag? Where's the population that speaks spanish? Where are the argentina flights to these islands? Jose, you're living in a fantasy world my friend. You should just accept the truth - I have a little song you can sing along with me so that you don't forget, after 3, 1, 2, 3 “Las Malinas son Gran Bretana's!” You get it now?

    @13. y yo quise decir......nunca van a ser islas Argentinas. Just simple brain washing that unfortunately has warped all sense of logic from an otherwise intelligent society. If I tell myself a million times that cfk is a natural beauty, it won't make it true. Forget the falklands myth, there are too many other things is Argentina you should be concerned with.

    What, the “milicos” of “Monte Agradable” base? Yes, they are pirates but the “government” of the islands and its people, too.
