Well done, Royal Navy. Again! Much respect to the officers and crew of HMS Lancaster, “The Queen's Frigate”! Sixth drugs seizure, eh? You need to be careful. Otherwise the only “war” you will be involved in is the drugs war. Wouldn't want that. You might miss out the next time the argies row out to “sea”. I put “sea” in inverted commas because its something that argies can only dream about “sailing” on. But they do have excellent submarines. They have a new design. It looks like a destroyer!

Wrong headline. “Corrupted Argentina”. Or, possibly, “Long corrupt Argentina”. How much drugs money does CFK have? So much easier to promote drugs use amongst criminals and queers!
