I wonder who on her staff came up with this witticism, and how long it took to do so.

PMSL - how did you actually get into uni? As the janitor? Are you trying to pull a Good Will Hunting?
Alicia Castro is one crazy woman not noted for a calm and collected personality,. Nor does she apologise. Mid term elections soon. it would not go down well if a diplomatic row developed with the UK and Ms Castro was asked to leave the UK. you can bet your life on sister-in-law has told her to make up or else!

Aug 22nd, 2013 - 02:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0Just for the record, Cameron is a lot of things, but he is most certainly not dumb.
She has just made it worse, her “denial” won't work as people are not stupid. We ought to stand outside the Argentine Embassy in London and demand her resignation. What a dreadful and appalling example of Kirchenismo!

Either apologise or don't apologise but don't say you're “sorry” but then turn it into an additional insult. Why on earth don't Argentina use professional diplomats who actually understand this?
So why didn't she mean to offend Cameron? The guy needs offending. He is dumb. The only reason that he's premier is because of Murdoch's support.

In Britain, the Labour party under Gordon Brown overspent (“invested for the future”) an enormous amount in its 3rd term so that we have run staggering deficits since 2008. Thus the British people kicked them out and are unlikely to return them in 2015. Nothing to do with Murdoch who if anything has done Cameron more harm than good.
These Argentine rats don't know whether to jump ship or stick their tongues further up Mrs Kirchner's a--e.

Aug 22nd, 2013 - 04:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's quite clear that personal offensiveness is all the rage in the Kirchnerite circle. It's a moot point whether this is part of a deliberate strategy to raise tension, or just a natural expression of character. But it will no doubt continue as long as there are Peronista and an electorate crude and dumb enough to applaud it.

Castro even states that UK public opinion is coming round to the view that the Falklands aren't worth supporting or protecting long-term: Galtieri and his drunken cronies where the other side of the world when they also came to that view; shes actually sat in London and is yet totally clueless about the country and politics she's paid ambassador to.

However, if Argentina (just like in 1982) tries to do something stupid, she will quickly learn (like Galtieri and his ilk) just HOW committed the people of the UK are to the Falklands.

I understand that she has been referred to as “the trolley dolly”. I couldn't understand this at first, and then I looked up “dolly”. Options: Dolly (tool), a portable anvil. Dolly (trailer), for towing behind a vehicle. Hand truck, sometimes called a dolly. Which shall we go for? I favour the first one. A thick tool.

@12 Anyone who has Kirchner, tinboy, PutridJelly, LaurenBeano, Tomato in their government has no room to cast aspersions.
@13 The honest answer is that I don't know. But the maximum number eligible to vote for a pope is 120. Somewhat LESS democratic than the Falkland Islands.
@17 But you don't have any money. Your “government” keeps saying so. Oh, I forgot. You lie. Continuously.
@19 But you have demonstrated the pragmatic purpose yourself with “exult” instead of “exalt” and “noetic” instead of whatever. It is there as a constant reminder of argie lack of education, inability, stupidity, mendacity, necrophilia (imagine sending a DEAD beat to London), puke, vacuousity, xenophobia and just plain YUK.
@22 All argies are rapists. No woman in their right mind would do it with an argie. If they could find “it”. It's the reason for so many shirt-lifters. Lucky for you!

Aug 22nd, 2013 - 06:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But what's notable is that you never say anything about CFK or Timerman or A_Castro, negative or positive.
You deflect around them on these threads, but commenting on them seems to be ...verboten.
How much do they pay you?
“I'm bored” - you say that a lot, yet you doggedly put in your 'hours' each day.
Oh, I notice that you do get 'long weekends' and National Holidays like “St. Martin's Day” off.
Is this a union position??

Aug 22nd, 2013 - 06:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0???? who did I mix up and how?
....well that was a lot stabbing in the dark.......all completely wide of the mark.....for example, state one instance of me supporting the RG Government.....just one ;-)))))

Aug 22nd, 2013 - 07:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So your Mam hasn't sent you to bed. I do like it when you post. Your Dad was/is a Brit. Apparantly the major aim of the RG govt. is to colonise/take the FI. Your posts support that. That to me is supporting the RG govt.
Reading some of my fellow Merosul /Mercosur member's postings on this subject, would anyone here disagree that it is better to win over an opposite willingly to your cause, than scream and insult them ?
Aug 22nd, 2013 - 07:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0At on time both the major Airlines and the Diplomatic Services of the world provided lessons in dealing with the public and being courteous in order to accomplish a goal successfully. I believe Ambassador Castro simply lost her temper in the emotion of the moment, or “ missed a few lessons ” when she trained as an former airline hostess.
Has A_Voice left the building yet?
Aug 22nd, 2013 - 07:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So we can talk about the article again?
I will say one thing about Castro, she keeps herself in the headlines. I'm not even sure if Australia has an Argentine embassy. If we do, it sure as hell isn't anywhere as near as exciting as their British one.
Spare a thought for those hard working, professional, career diplomats bypassed for such a plumb post. Not only that, have to see it going to a KFC cronie whose mentality and english vocab, is limited to “chicken or fish” type transactions. Ohhh, they just wasted theirs lives....

Troy Tempest ask yourself a simple question........why are you on this forum....the thought is for yourself...I don't require an answer!

So so predictable!
Aug 22nd, 2013 - 09:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0John Freeman is the UK Ambassador to Argentina now, is that right?
Aug 22nd, 2013 - 10:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If he shot his mouth off like this about Argentina and CFK, the Argentine government would take full anti-UK rhetorical advantage of it. And the Argentine populace would lose it.
CFK has published pro-“Malvinas” articles in UK newspapers hasn't she? Did Cameron's government ever do the same in Argentina?
Timmerman has thrown pro-“Malvinas” tantrums in the UK, has William Hague ever done this in Argentina?
Again, if this happened in Argentina, CFK and Timmerman would find this behaviour totally inappropriate.
They feel some entitlement to free expression when on UK soil but if the same happened in their country it'd be an egregious violation of their sacred sovereignty.

Any politician who does not have the sense to realise that in this modern age of instant communication, there is no such thing as an “off the cuff comment” has no business being a politician, because they are clearly unsuitable for the job!
Aug 23rd, 2013 - 12:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Someone should give her a dictionary and tell her to look up the meaning of diplomacy.
No chance is there that Castro could run for Argentine president is there?
Aug 23rd, 2013 - 02:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You can but hope.
Oh! Now there's a pleasing prospect.

They'd make a fortune if they could make her 'presentable'.
Diplomacy is the art of telling people to go to hell in such a way that they ask for directions. (Winston Churchill)
Aug 27th, 2013 - 11:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Unfortunately, Castro has left out intelligence, strategy, code of conduct etc. that “such as way” demands. She was instructed by CFK to ruffle feathers but is beginning to look like a plucked turkey.
A prediction:
* CFK out in 2 years, sovereign default and devaluation in 2.01 years, Castro out in 2.01 years, normality (of sorts) restored in 3 years.
Trolls (of both sides) I am amused by your online diplomacy. Long live the queen.
