Oct 25th, 2013 - 09:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Doesn't matter boys Mercosur still far bigger and far more industrialised and more technological advanced.
Oct 26th, 2013 - 12:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And Buenos Aires still one of the best cities in the world to live in.

Oct 26th, 2013 - 06:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The pupils who pass for a university on the Falklands can pick whichever one in the UK they wish to attend and I believe most of the costs are paid for by the FIG.
Here is a more likely view that people in BsAs have:

And that is from COHRE.

Oct 27th, 2013 - 02:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0.... ah yes, of all places they travel where ? ... thats right GB, jolly old England to be precise, further proof if needed that falklands is just some English squatters 12,000 km from home.
Speaking English, spending English money, representatives in English parliament, English queen, English names, English education, English laws, English food, English cars.... not really the makings of “a people”.

Oct 27th, 2013 - 05:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That is absolutely terrible, but did you notice a common theme?
All the “landlords” were Asian as well. They were exploiting their own kind, not the British exploiting them.
And since when did the slums in BsAs have water, electricity, automatic washing machines, new cookers, beds, etc?
Better not let the slum dwellers in BsAs know about Ealing and Slough (full of Asians) or they will want to trade up and come over!

So, answer me this: if you were to qualify for a university (ha, ha, ha, as if) wouldn't you want one of the six in the top ten of the world's best?
Then that is the UK. NOT BsAs, NOT Brazil, NOT anywhere else on the SA continent, NADA, ZILCH, got it now?
AND YES, the Falklands ARE a BOT! Didn't you know that? I thought anybody with half-a-brain would know that by now. Oh-Oh, I see the flaw here! I will let you figure it out why YOU DON'T know that.
Ha, ha, ha.
Exactly - not many people qualify for the top six universities.
Oct 27th, 2013 - 09:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Do you suggest that they all get into top ranking universities.
I doubt they do.
A university in any English speaking country, or foreign student friendly university, the world over would be just as good for most of them.
But they choose ... England.
Because... lets just be honest - they're English.
And playing the tired old British franchise/local branch game.
(most likely born in England too, parents probably from there, regular holidays there I'd bet)

Oct 28th, 2013 - 08:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0ANY of the red brick universities in the UK and MANY of the old polytechnics / colleges are FAR SUPERIOR to any “local” university from the Falklands.
But why shouldn't English speaking people go to England for a first class education.
Nobody gets one in The Dark Country according to the lovely young Argentine couple I met last season. The guy was a PhD in Electronic Engineering from MIT no less, well done to him.

Oct 29th, 2013 - 12:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0The people of the Falkland’s are British not English. Most were born there, some 9 generations ago. Their money is not English (there is no such thing) but Falkland’s. Their stamps aren’t English (there’s no such thing) but Falkland’s (the Falkland’s have been a member of the international postal union since 1870, before Argentina). The Falkland’s are NOT represented in the UK parliament as the Falkland’s are not a part of the UK. They have their own elected legislative assembly. The Queen is head of state, but so what, the Queen is head of state of Canada and Australia and 14 other realms. Not all the names are British, many are Scandinavian, and 25% of the population are of non-British decent. Falkland students don’t always go to English universities; some go to universities in Wales or Scotland. The islanders don’t need to travel 8,000 miles to go home, they’re already home.

Oct 31st, 2013 - 05:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nonsense, they're Britons on a strange squatting quest, absentee landlords, living there seasonally and using the old 'plant a flag plant, plan a people' procedure from Britains old empire.
Look up the stats for how many of them were actually born there, you'll see that by a long shot most were born in England or GB.
Of those who weren't, well they'll likely have English parents.
They travel home regularly to their family and for their education back home in England. Their money is owned by the bank of England. A stamp ? .. lolol... their attempt at a heritage/culture consists of a stamp. A stamp with an English womans head on it.
The non-Britons are brought in for the menial work and to try to hide that fact that its just a squat for some blueblooders to make money off fish stocks.
Its just a British outpost with a cover-story.
Thats why Britain...or more precisely London, England saw it for the embarrassment it was and tried to sell it off.
Oooh ..They have their own stamps you know.
