    Be fair, people. PutridJelly, with his bellicose, war-mongering pronouncements, needed to be put somewhere less embarrassing. Especially after his boats started turning over when the chewing gum came out of the holes. And what can we say about Rossi? Well, in the UK, Rossi's used to be very big in ice cream. But I'll need a better picture to decide how much resemblance he has to Mario.

    With regards to a defense minister, my questions are:

    1- what is there a need to defend against?
    followed by
    2-With what?

    @1 Beat me to it but I was going to say on the ship that rolled over whilst against the quay!

    Gone very quiet on that and the nuclear sub and the 10 fighter aircraft ALL made in The Dark Country (except for the engines, avionics, ejector seat and whatever they can’t copy / rob from some other design).

    Looking at that little lot you can see that Putridjelly really has been very successful: NOT.

    We can now look forward to all the prisoners being set loose; OH they already DO THAT whenever TMBOA needs a body guard for a speech.

    I wonder if Putridjelly will raise the bribe rate for the police to encourage them to help the tourists when they are being held at knife point by Gorgeous Toni and the Veterans (what a piss take) on their cruise ship.

    LOLs

    Just a normal reshuffle of the cabinets, everyone rearranges the furniture now and then. Makes the house look different, still the same house though.

    CFK is a bit busy,
    -corruption charges
    - subjugate previously independent Judiciary
    - prevent Freedom of the Press
    - airline initiative stalled
    - Argentine ”Research” vessel provocation ends with Argies submitting to Falklands authorities

    A nice grassroots perspective from SE England
    On YouTube - certain to brighten Thinkedover's day.

    So how long before the PNA patrol boats start sinking while tied alongside? The only plus point that I can see is that they don't have anything larger than a 1kt boat and only five of them, so when one does it'll be a bit easier to refloat than a 4.1kt destroyer...

    Loved the video, very focussed young man with a great speaking voice.

    We, the Falklanders and the Brits will never be able to convince the argie trolls of the facts concerning the Falklands because of the Peron indoctrination that pervades large sectors of the Argentine society as well as all the trolls.

    So, what do ‘we’ do? We need to ignore TMBOA and all her crooks and support the Falklanders in what they are doing now and having great success at: telling the world the truth.

    The ridiculous C24 committee will not be disbanded despite the fact that they no longer operate by the UN Charter: but they are only of interest to the likes of the argie trolls, no other country outside of SA apart from the whack-jobs like Iran, N. Korea and the other allies (ha, ha, ha) of The Dark Country have come out in support.

    It is to be regretted that Obama cannot come off the fence but he is a lame duck President anyway and will be finished for good at the end of this second period of dithering.

    “So, what do ‘we’ do? We need to ignore TMBOA and all her crooks and support the Falklanders in what they are doing now and having great success at: telling the world the truth.”

    This is the best possible result of CFK's policy of spreading Argentine lies about the Falklands history/the Islanders , that FIG are (at last) doing, something about it like the Gibraltarians, ie firing fs at the C24 and presenting their side of the story, without false fanfares.

    It's an ill wind that blows good fortune.
