    You're completely missing the point.
    It's not that we want to be British; it's that we don't want to be part of Argentina.
    Most people here see themselves as Falkland Islanders before British. The only way we can get to stay Falkland Islanders is by being a British OT.

    Not allowing a small population to be subjugated by a hostile foreign power is rational in the civilised world.

    Oh jeez, they must bore the pants off everyone. Do they not realise that the Falkland Islands just aren't at the top of everyone else's agendas. I'm sure Uruguay might be a little more concerned about their 50 million in frozen imports in Argentina.

    They just look sad and pathetic, you can almost hear the others sniggering behind their backs.

    Wait don't all the regional summits in South America spout this nonsense on a regular basis?

    So how can this be considered news?

    Why is Timerman happy? None of the so-called support from CELAC, UNASUR, MERCOSUR has EVER put Argentina any closer to sovereignty.

    Or is is happy because he thinks this routine 'annual' announcement will distract the Argentine population from the fact that inflation is rising, the Peso is falling, the BCRA reserves are plummeting, there is no power and that their President is extremely conspicious by her ABSENCE?

    Most non-South American nations call for talks, rather than an actual support of the Argentine claim. Simple solution: if any Commonwealth nations in the region go against the wishes of the Falklanders, boot them out the Commonwealth.

    This article partially highlights the hypocrisy of Argentina, and its claim over the Falklands.

    For so long, Argentina claims it only wants the resumption of negotiations, and nothing more. Even declaring that its own Constitution (stating the full transfer of sovereignty to Argentina is the objective) is not its end game. They merely want to sit down and talk, how unreasonable is that they ask. If that is the case, why is Timmerman happy at CELAC declaring the Falklands Argentine? That is their end game. Their declarations of 'peaceful negotiations' is a guise for their real intention - the colonisation of the Falkland Islands and its people.

    Secondly, how can Argentina mention its attitude of the Falklands and its people, and then discuss “human development, economic equality, political rights, I mean a more fair society” in the same breath? Timmerman, Argentina and the Argentine people should really hang their head in shame.

    Honestly, how can you talk about equality and human rights, and then say... the people of the Falklands have no human rights (because their wishes contradict our own ambitions). Ludicrous.

    How many countries, summits, conferences, organisations have you arm twisted into signing something regarding the mythical Malvinas, for absolutely nothing to come of it? I mean nothing whatsoever. You have spent years repeatedly doing the same thing, over and over again and you achieve nothing. Are you not embarrassed ? Do you not have any self-respect ?

    Hurray. Oh wait...

    Where are the interpol warrants against Falklanders for telling the truth about the Indec inflation rates, stealing the glorious Argentine Reich's resources, the ultimate crime of saying “no” to them? Oh yes the same place where the extraction warrants are in Iran for the AIMA bombing that the little kapo is so proud of. Where is the LatAm's coalition of the willing ready to “liberate” the Islanders from their right to self-determination that we all hear off all the people in the world to which it doesn't apply doesn't apply to them. Oh yes, in their bases, in their harbors, doing... not so much. Where are the lawyers helping the poor sad sniveling little Timerman, the man too afraid to sit with two. 2. TWO!, this many: **!, elected representatives of 2500 of so people who said “no” to him but happy to sit with murderous antisemites who host holocaust denial conferences to sweep the murder of his own citizens, and fellow Jews under the rug for some trade dollars with his case to the ICJ that he never brings? Come on guys, not even that? I'd think that would be easy with the old tried narratives we hear over and over here go... Oh yes, they are quietly working with their counterparts in the Islands on quiet deals.

    All that support. All that affirmation. And no traction whatsoever in any of the venues where it counts.

    Yes, yes, all of Latin America is behind Argentina, that's pretty much where you have to stand to laugh behind its back.

    I'm curious. WHY are they holding this “summit”? Aren't “summits” supposed to be conferences? Why travel all the way to Cuba when you already know the results? Sounds like a taxpayer-funded jolly to me. Looking back over CELAC's history can tell us a lot. CELAC only started in 2010. It was formed out of the Rio Group and something called CALC. What is it about these southerners that they have to keep reforming and renaming things. The question that has to be is asked is; who cares? Lovely that the “summit” will declare the region “a zone of peace”. Naturally, that will not apply to argieland that will continue waging an economic war in breach of the UN Charter. Does that mean that these “organisations” are formed on the “gang” principle? Get all their pals and those they can bully together and call it “representative”. There are 33 states in CELAC. And the two countries they are trying to bully, Britain and the Falkland Islands, are going to be worried? Neither of them get worried about the 193 members of the United Nations. Why would a little sub-group be a concern? The British garrison is still in place. HMS Clyde is still on-station. HMS Richmond is still around. So is RFA Black Rover. I could mention the Royal Navy's nuclear powered submarines but it's not allowed. However, the Royal Navy's ballistic missile submarines are probably within range. Actually, they are probably within range when they are “alongside”. And thus argieland's posturing is exposed, yet again, as pathetic. The argie air force (the FAA) is a considerable force. It has 14,600 military personnel. That's for 77 aircraft that “might” be able to fight. The argie air force has an “order of battle”. It's “Run”! The argie navy is equally formidable. It has 42 vessels. 17 of them are believed able to float. That doesn't include submarines. They daren't sink. Sorry, dive. Seriously, I've looked through the list of CELAC members. Not one of significance.

    19 Stevie: about as democratic as kicking Paraguay out of Mercosur. The big difference is that they had every right to change their government and do what they wanted but y'all booted them out for not towing the mercosur line, whereas a nation's action resulting in a commonwealth nation being usurped by a scumbag nation like argentina is indeed decent grounds for being suspended from the union.
    Anyway, the last report by Freedom House gave Argentina marks of 2 all round whereas the UK achieved 1's so stick that in your land stealing pipe and smoke it.

    How strange Argentina say's one thing then the actual people Argentina are speaking on behalf of say the complete opposite as in 2012 below.

    When foreign ministers of the 15-member countries of CARICOM and the Dominican Republic met ministers of the British Government in January this year at the biennial UK-Caribbean Forum in Grenada, they collectively and rightly agreed: “To support the principle and the right to self-determination for all peoples, including the Falkland Islanders, recognising the historical importance of self-determination in the political development of the Caribbean, and its core status as an internationally agreed principle under the United Nations Charter”.

    A second good reason not to support Argentina is that the facts of British settlement and sovereignty over the Falklands are well established. It is important to appreciate that an existing UN resolution on the Falklands does no more than call for negotiations to find a peaceful settlement to the dispute over sovereignty. Where the problem arises is: if both countries claim sovereignty why would either of them want to negotiate over what they consider to be their legitimate right? In any event, Britain has exercised sovereignty over the Falklands since 1765 and, properly, if Argentina disputes such sovereignty, it should take the matter to the International Court of Justice for arbitration. Argentina has declined to do so, while Britain has indicated its willingness on several occasions.

    Those are reasons of principle and law why Caribbean countries ought not to support Argentina in its claim for the Falklands. By themselves they are solid and overriding reasons.

    But, if economic self-interest were also to play a part in national decision-making on this issue the following points are worth bearing in mind: Commonwealth Caribbean countries earn far more from exports to Britain than they do to Argentina; Britain is a far bigger aid donor to the Caribbean than is Argentina, and British a

    @50 Stevie

    Stevie, while the debt is indeed staggeringly large, the real issue is both the willingness and capacity to pay. Many countries allowed themselves to be seduced by the easy and abundant credit available to them from the mid-nineties until it couldn't be sustained anymore.

    Britain and Argentina are two of those nations. They have handled their responsibilities in very different fashions. Yes the I.M.F.'s contribution was clumsy but it made no difference in the end. Yes the vulture funds are greedy, amoral bottom-feeders but they've been around since the American Civil War, a fact Argentina was perfectly aware of when Carlos Menem was buying elections in the nineties.

    Britain is learning from it's mistakes. Argentina is refusing to acknowledge it made any mistakes in the first place. It's just as likely 'unborn children' will be grateful to their elders for teaching them the necessity of fiscal discipline. What will Argentina's 'unborn children's' verdict be?

    What about LATAM compensating the native Amerindians for nearly 400 years of looting, rape and murder?

    You really are a hypocrite.

    The Falkland Islands are British. You can have the mythical Malvinas.

    Isn't it extremely hypocritical of Argentina to demand someone else's land and homes whilst sitting on land stolen from other people?

    #68 maybe he can undertand with this.

    What exactly has Britain done that's so awful?

    Genocide.

    Modern Britain was founded through the systematic erasure of indigenous culture and language. The English rounded up natives, seized their property, and forced them to relinquish their heritage and take on British language and culture as their own. Anyone who dissented faced extermination. This practice began in Scotland, Wales and Ireland and soon spread all over the world, where the British Empire plundered natural resources and enslaved native peoples then left without building the stable infrastructure or governments necessary for self-sufficiency.

    Malvinas Islands 1833 anyone ?

    “The word Celt is the Anglicised form of the Greek word Keltoi, which means ”the people who are different.“

    ”The name Κελτοί Keltoi and Celtae is used in Greek and Latin, respectively, as the name of a people of the La Tène horizon in the region of the upper Rhine and Danube during the 6th to 1st centuries BC in Greco-Roman ethnography.“

    ”The Celts (/ˈkɛlts/, occasionally /ˈsɛlts/, see pronunciation of Celtic) or Kelts were an ethnolinguistic group of tribal societies in Iron Age and Medieval Europe who spoke Celtic languages and had a similar culture“

    ”Celt is a modern English word; its first attested use is in 1707, in the writing of Edward Lhuyd,“

    ”According to the testimony of Julius Caesar and Strabo, the Latin name Celtus (pl. Celti or Celtae) and the Greek Κέλτης (pl. Κέλται) or Κελτός (pl. Κελτοί) were borrowed from a native Celtic tribal name.”

    Argentina is the only loser country here.

    The Falkland Islands community PRE-DATES (that means it existed before) the Republic of Argentina.

    Everybody knows this. Argentina is a wannabe colonial power. A never was country, that destroy's itself very regularly, and is considered an international pariah.

    Venezuela might be you immediate future, but your real future is Somalia.

    Argentina, the ONLY country in the world that is heading full tilt into becoming a 3rd world country, whilst the 3rd world countries are getting their acts together and developing into 1st world countries.

    No wonder you are so angry. No wonder you are so desperate. No wonder you are so delusional.

    And your LATAM 'brothers' are circling like vultures, waiting for you to implode into civil war. Then they'll send in 'peacekeepers' in a LATAM can solve it's own problems, and then they'll take whatever they want from you.

    And deep down inside you know it to be true.

    Here is the last few gasps of a dying government. Your President has probably already fled. And your government squanders your money on useless things. And you're so stupid that all you can do is stand by and applaud them for doing it.

    HOW DESPERATE CAN ARGENTINA GET??

    Now restricting Internet shopping on international websites

    NORTH KOREA ANYONE

    ”Even as it seeks to regain access to international capital markets, Argentina imposed new restrictions on online shopping on Wednesday in its latest attempt to curb capital flight and prevent a possible balance-of-payments crisis.

    Anyone buying goods through international websites such as Amazon.com must now sign a declaration and produce it at a customs office, where the packages are collected. In addition, Argentines are only allowed to buy two international items annually, free of tax, up to a $25 total. Beyond that, they must pay a 50 per cent tax.

    Jorge Capitanich, the head of Argentina’s cabinet of ministers, said the measure was to defend national interests by substituting national production over foreign goods. “We must ask ourselves if we want Argentine industry, Argentine workers,” he told reporters.

    Tough times for consumers in Argentina. Thanks to a 35 per cent tourist tax, many are swapping the white sands of Uruguay and Brazil for local beaches during January’s summer holidays (though the head of the federal tax agency found his way to a five-star hotel in Rio).

    And now carmakers have begun to release prices under the impuestazo, a whopping new tax on top-end models.

    In another move to protect dwindling dollar reserves it uses for debt payments and energy imports, the government slapped a two-tier tax on luxury cars. It hopes to cull demand, force dealers to reduce imports and halt the narrowing trade surplus.

    The measure hit consumers this month. It levies a 50 per cent tax on cars worth more than 210,000 pesos ($30,000 at the official rate, which is 62 per cent lower than the black market rate) and 30 per cent on models valued at more than 170,000 pesos ($25,000).

    The result? Enrique Vitale, a sales executive at a BMW dealership in Pilar, just outside Buenos Aires, told beyondbrics that no cars have been sold there yet in January (compared to more than 20 in October).

    As manufacturers experiment with the tax in a bid to keep the market active, prices of some models have rocketed. A Honda Accord V6 is listed at more than 700,000 pesos ($105,000), nearly double what it cost last month. The price of a BMW 328i has risen by 64 per cent to $117,000.

    Argentines are used to eye-watering price tags. Government restrictions mean there’s a near ban on importing iPhones (though the vice-president was caught tweeting with one). Most people escape to Miami to buy them and

    @38 Iraq wasn't “subjugated”. Hussein's Iraq was defeated. Then the victors stepped back and let Iraqis sort their country out. Offering assistance as necessary.
    @43 I've pointed this out before but you were too crass to accept it. British war debt to the U.S. at the end of WW2 equates to the current debt. It was paid. The UK never went to the courts to evade repayment. It just paid. How many judgements against argieland? There are over a hundred in the U.S. alone. That's why the UK has credibility and argieland has NONE.
    @54 Why would England be handed over to Celts? In case you don't know England comes from Englaland. Otherwise Angleland. BUT genetic analysis shows that the majority of English people have a considerable Celtic and Brionic component.
    @58 No, we borrowed considerable amounts of money to pay back the U.S. for lending us the stuff to defeat three tyrannies. We made a mistake. Should have made argieland look like Germany.

    You should try some HISTORY. Not the “we are victims” crap your government feeds you. Here's a thought. In 43 AD the Roman Empire invaded Britain. It continued to occupy until 410 AD. That's 367 years. Post-industrialisation things would move quicker. Why are you still whingeing? In 1066 we had the Norman Conquest. By 1072, we were back to normality. We didn't like it but we didn't whinge. We got on and worked things out. That means you're crap!

    it is the necessary condition to start solving it.
    but it is not the kind of situation, you deluded islanders think.

    now when you see this group of brainwashed plankers, thinking that the uk is some kind of super power, when 1/4 of its population starves to death, or these ignorant islanders thinking that their future will be assured because they will discover oil, all you can feel is a mix of sadness and revulsion.

    surely they will end whining like llanitos because of the banning to dock their ships in latin american ports.

    and the response of cameron will be to send some warships to show their “power”.

    Don't understand your point.....how can they be Swiss when the Swiss did not exist then...?
    ....the tribe you are referring to are the Helvetii...

    “The Helvetii were a Gallic tribe or tribal confederation occupying most of the Swiss plateau at the time of their contact with the Roman Republic in the 1st century BC”
    ”The name of the Helvetians is first mentioned in a graffito on a vessel from Mantua (c. 300 BC). The inscription in Etruscan letters reads eluveitie, which has been interpreted as the Etruscan form of the Celtic (h)elu̯eti̯os (“the Helvetian”), presumably referring to a man of Helvetian descent living in Mantua.“
    ”In his Natural History (c. 77 AD), Pliny provides a foundation myth for the Celtic settlement of Cisalpine Gaul in which a Helvetian named Helico plays the role of culture hero. ”
    ...like I said Celts or Kelts.....
    Who mentioned the Picts...I didn't...Picts is... a description (painted) not a tribe...the tribe is likely the Caledonii...
    ...Gaels...Celts...Brythonic... Brittonic.....all “Celts”...all related....same people different term...

    Stevie

    Your understanding of macroeconomics is laughable....it's almost childlike in its poor quality.

    I will try and explain it in simple terms.

    Person 1

    Lives a £2m house, of which he owns £1m and has a mortgage of £1m. He earns £300k per year. He has paid every mortgage payment on time, every time.

    Person 2

    Lives in a £400k house, of which he owes £100k mortgage and earns £60k a year. He also has never missed a payment.

    Person 3

    Doesn't own a house, lives in a squalid dump, has stolen, lied, and has a shameful credit history and nobody would lend to him in a fit, and his only income is what he can beg.

    By your childish analysis, Person 3 is richest as he has least debt, person 2 is next richest as he has a small debt/debt to earnings ratio, and person 1 is skint.

    I know which one I'd rather be...and I know which one you are!!! Seems we are both happy.

    Britains assets more than cover their debts, I fully support the current governments moves to reduce it, however to compare our legacy to our children with yours Stevie.....hahahahahah...yet more ignorant hogwash from the boards deluded racist.

    Never mind Stevie...stop talking about Britain...(oops sorry, England) you aren't worthy to you racist loser troll....PMSL.

    Well, ALL the Brits and ALL the Yanks are putting a debt on their kids for all eternity, so says Stevie Supa-Tupa © Troy Tempest 2014.

    But wait, how can that possibly compare to what Sup-Tupa’s mom and dad did to him?

    THEY ran off to Sweden where Stevie grew up hearing of heroic tales of the Tupas and how HE could one day lead the final revolt that they had to run way from? Ever since the poor guy has been torn into pieces between his sensible wife who, looking to the kid’s future, doesn’t want them ending up in Uruguay, no job, no hope, only Pepe’s Social Inclusion handout to keep the wolf from the door. She also likes the new clothes that Stevie buys her: no Chin crap for her and the kids like they have to buy in Uruguay!

    But Supa-Tupa longs for a new Uruguay or brotherly love with Argentina and Brazil and only dumb aresd ex-Tupas in government positions! A pizza parlour owner now Director of Toxicology, a drunk (and personal friend of Supa-Tupas) in charge of Uruguay’s Armed Forces (now thankfully “resigned” but he has his compensatory “Medal” from TMBOA for NOT fighting in the Malvinas because he was in prison.

    This nonsensical world awaits us when Supa-Tupa announces his discovery of FREE ENERGY!

    And that is without all the lives of all ages blighted by Military Rule which came about DIRECTLY from the stupid actions of the Tupamaros.

    Firstly, I am glad you acknowledge Argentina is in a bad position, and I hope others like you are able to exercise your democratic right to fix it. good luck...it will be tough, but good luck. I don't support your isolationist route...but anything is better than current. I appreciate your attempt to split nationality from government.

    I am not sure where you get the idea that 1/4 of Britiah people are starving to death. That is not accurate...it would mean 15 million people...odd idea.

    I can also assure you that the Falkland Islanders have already discovered large amounts of oil, and have a plan to exploit it, Sadly, this plan doesn't utilise Latam ports. Once oil is in tankers, it really doesn't matter where it goes...but I understand that the main destination is planned to be Cape Town 3800 miles from Stanley.

    There will be no British warships threatening force in Latin America, I don't believe this has happened for 200 years. The only British warships in the South Atlantic are for defence of the Falklands, and or survey vessels. I'd be interested if you had examples of where Britain has militarily threatened anyone in South America if they didn't do business with the islanders.

    British politics is far from perfect, it had a God awful government under Gordon Brown who wasted billions, however, as you know, it is important to separate government from nationality.

    Actually, I read the propaganda link posted above...and it says Britain owes £19,000 for every man woman and child.

    Even your imagined number of £3 trillion is £50,000 per man woman and child.

    I have two children...so, according to you, I am leaving them a legacy of debt of £100,000.

    Ok...but if I were to die tomorrow....I'd leave them an inheritance of between 5-10 of that...so I have tried to understand your point of wanting me to explain what exactly?

    Indeed, if my mother were to sadly pass tomorrow, I'd also inherit many multiples of my share of the debt...

    To chance the subject slightly and a question for you Falklanders.
    In 1982 during the invasion of your islands , a delegation of Anglo argentines visited your islands to persuade you to accept the fait accompli of your islands as part of the Argentine Republic
    I can't find a link as to who they were.
    Can you help?
    I surmise a lot of them, apart from Bettsy are posters on these blogs and probably still have UK passports as a bolt hole.

    about the oil, it reminds me of that people here in argentina, who think we will be rich because of one of the biggest shale oil fields in the planet.

    about the warships, it seems to me cameron loves to send warships to places where there are diplomatic issues, but not military risk at all, i.e. gibraltar, falklands.

    There is a whole world of difference between living under Oxfams poverty level...and starving to death. Finding life a daily struggle for some is not having enough for all Six Sky Sport HD channels....the welfare state in the UK is one of the most generous in the world.

    I disagree that the Sealion discovery in the Falklands is comparable to Argentine shale deposits, firstly as offshore development of naturally flowing oil is a mature science, and Premier oil have both the funding and intentions to do it. At the moment nobody has any idea of the recoverable reserves in Argentina, or the economic model to do it...apples and pears by comparison.

    I disagree with your view about the Falklands. In the last 12 months your defence Minister has stated that Argentina cannot recover the islands whilst the British defence is there...what do you suppose that means?

    Your posting THAT link? Numerous trolls have posted the link to THAT site over the years. A site that is completely biased, uses ONE real example of a British service person committing a crime - a crime for which they were arrested and PUNISHED (they seem to fail to mention that), and then the rest of them are MADE UP. BOGUS. LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES.

    Lies and propaganda from your friendly muslim extremists (you remember them, don't you? The ones you're terrified of). The pictures they use are 'stock' photos taken from various wars - most of them Iran/Iraq, Lebanon or Bosnia, and go all the way back to the 70's.

    They are not photo's of victims of the British Army or the US Army. Straws...grasping...comes to mind.

    You'll really have to do better than that, won't you?

    Your hate filled, racist little post is about as accurate and as INDEC statistic.

    By the way Stevie, in case you haven't noticed, the British Army AREN'T in Iraq any more, and haven't been for years.

    You really need to keep up with the times.

    The Falklands are British. They will remain British until the people there wish it to be otherwise.

    Argentina can go and whistle at the moon for all the good that their crying, lying, crawling and begging has done on the international stage.

    Oh, and Britain always pays its debts, that is why it has AA+ rating. Argentina on the other hand, never pays its debts which is why it has junk bond status, and may even lose that 'prestigious' rating soon.

    @Stevie
    Simply repeating the same point over and over doesn't make it stronger. In the UK, the economy is growing, unemployment is falling, the deficit is falling and its rate of decline should now start increasing accordingly, wages will rise again when productivity starts rising again. We've had some shocking deficits of late but started from a very low debt level (% GDP) so are unlikely to get into real trouble as evidenced by our low bond rates and bond insurance rates. Mortgage debt is different, if you have a good job then you buy a nice house and pay off the mortgage over many years. Early on it looks like you are in massive debt but set against your earning potential over 25 years it is perfectly sensible for the vast majority (speculators aside). So now that has been clearly explained to you perhaps you will consider how futile it would be to play the “pay your debt” card again, especially while Argentine Finance ministers & lawyers fly to first world countries begging to be let off paying their debts.

    You don't even read people's posts before you reply. Nowhere did i say the debt was falling, i said the deficit was falling which means that the RATE of increase in the debt is falling. Total debt is rising for now but at a slower rate year on year which means that once the budget is balanced then we can start paying debt down. If anything i have said above is untrue then the markets will already know and be punishing us with high bond rates and bond insurance rates. Are they?

    You lack of basic economic understanding is astonishing, unsurprisingly your view that the “uk will default” is not shared by any major financial institution or credit agency, and is at odds with the 100% record of paying 100% of every bond every time on the day it was due.

    No, it's not ok to kill children.
    So stop doing it.
    Stop inventing excuses as to why you should be able to legally kill children.

    As for your kids, they don't represent the majority of the Brits that will end up paying the debt. You are one of the few that made money on the blatant theft.
    Nobody expects you to pay anything as you prefer to loose your loves before your money.
    I was referring to the ones that will, as always, pay for you lot living above your means. Not your kids in particular, there's a great possibility they turn out to be weasels like you and therefor let somebody else pay...

    I see Stevie...yet more clueless shit from you.

    The National debt (which you seem to think is owed to foreigner..because you are thick) is mostly owed to UK pension funds, who have invested in the Uk infrastructure for a small but safe return over many years.

    You think that most people won't inherit more than £20k in the UK from their parents...see Stevie you are thick as shit...the average house in the UK is about £160k...representing the majority of the Uk population will in fact inherit much more...and guess what..those that don't won't be paying of any legacy debt.

    I am sorry your macroeconomics doesn't get that the debt is minuscule compared to the inherent wealth...unlike you country that has no inherent wealth and therefore has to default and beg international markets for bailouts and reduced payments.

    I note your insult aimed at my children...further example of your scum behaviour.

    However Stevie, you are far more guilty of the deaths of children than me...I am again sorry you don't see this.

    Uruguays 3rd world infant mortality, that you do nothing about, Uruguays impotence on international aid, Uruguays impotence on humanitarian aid...Uruguays. Impotence on tackling genocidal dictators....

    20k?
    You think that covers it?
    Lets do the maths...
    20e3 times 60e6 equals 1.2e10.
    The debt is at some 1.5e12.
    That's about 100 times the amount.
    So, in order to have the debt covered, EVERY Brit, young and old, needs to posses some 100 times your 20k.
    Or to put it in perspective, because you are right, the majority of the debt is to pensionists, every Brit is getting conned for about 2M pounds, more or less depending on their age.

    Nothing you say about me will change that fact, but you have my sympathy, as I understand you have to say something...

    From your own article:

    Further down you can also see the average house owned by average Joe has a value of 140k, in average.

    That would leave an average of 64k to pay of your debt because nobody is interested intime average houses.

    Stevie,
    All debt is relative and can only be judged against future earning potential. So whether a debt is big or small depends on your ability to service it and eventually pay it off. For sovereign debt you can look at a country's i) bond rates, ii) bond insurance rates and iii) credit rating:
    High, High, Junk would be very bad
    Low, Low, AAA is very good.

    Stevie...

    The UK debt would be covered many many times over on your scenario..so there is absolutely no need for everyone to sell their houses or cash in their pension..It is yet another retarded comment from a brain dead moron.

    The UK debt has to be managed. Repayments have to be repayed on time every time in full. That way the credit lines are always there...Guess what, repayments are ALWAYS MADE ON TIME EVERY TIME.

    So, what would the government do if it ever looked like a repayment was due, and there were insufficient funds to pay..??

    It would increase taxation (and access a teeny tiny % of the equity I have described...so yes it would target those who can pay

    Or, it would reduce spending, thereby using existing taxation more effectively.

    I cant believe you need this explaining Stevie...a 5 year old knows it.

    of course increasing taxation and cutting services are not popular, and a good government finds a palatable balance to service the debt (make repayments) whilst keeping taxes as low as possible, and maintaining as high level of service that it can.

    Britain has plenty of cash to pay of its debt tomorrow. It has no need to do this as it can service payments and still get better rates than virtually every country in the world.

    If it was truly a risk of default, then rates would increase, and the government would need to raise taxes or reduce services to improve its credit rating.

    So..owned Stevie...dont bother responding with the same shit...you are an clueless imbecile.

    To be honest, unlike the “killing children” in Iraq mantra...where Stevie knows he is being an obnoxious twat....I genuinely believe Stevie was clueless about how a national debt works.

    I think he believed that Britain owed someone (maybe China), £1.2 trillion, and they were knocking on the door for repayment in full tomorrow, and Britain couldn't/wouldn't be able to pay.

    Poor Stevie, never mind he has had a free economics lesson...although he'd never admit it.

    Britain has leant itself £1.2 trillion, the vast majority invested in sensible infrastructure and services for the benefit of future generation. Those who loaned get a very very safe investment (predominantly pension funds) with a small interest rate return.

    The idea of passing that debt through generations (Stevies first trolling attempt) is only relevant if taken in context of how much equity is also passed through generations. In the case of the UK it is a massive positive balance.

    The idea of the UK defaulting (Stevies second trolling attempt) is also ludicrous. The UK is actually protecting its credit rating and it's low cost of borrowing through a period of economic downturn. It could have reduced borrowing by raising taxes or cutting services further, it has tried to find a happy medium. Perhaps Stevies beloved Scottish socialist PM would have done it differently.

    So far, Britain has always made its debt repayments on time, every time, protected its credit rating and therefore it low borrowing cost, and kept taxes relatively under control and services at a standard most countries would love to be at.

    Compare and contrast to anywhere in Latam...or even the Latin countries in Europe.

    Sorry Stevie...but you haven't a clue...you have shown you haven't a clue with your inane questions and trolling responses.

    1) you are a muppet troll on the wind up
    2) you are incapable of learning

    Seems a trait in your country

    It's funny, the money I borrowed from a bank for my mortgage...they are interested in...am I paying them back exactly to the penny what I said I would, and I am interested in the interest rate they agreed to charge me being maintained.

    In “Stevie world”...they should be sending me a letter every week demanding the entire balance....which of course I could pay, by selling the house...as my equity greatly outweighs the debt remaining...

    Oddly, though the bank doesn't do this.....I wonder why.

    Now, should I die tomorrow, (actually life insurance would cover it, but for arguments sake) my children would inherit both the mortgage and the equity....Stevie doesn't understand this...poor Stevie.

    So...based on debts being viable based on interest rates being maintained and payments being made on time....the UK has an impeccable record,

    It has made every single repayment on time and in full (oddly doing exactly what Stevie requests...which is paying our debts)....and in return the credit markets offer us some of the lowest interest rates in the world.

    Of course, all this is news to Latam. They have an appalling record of paying any debts, and therefore have only access to massive high interest rates, or in the case of Argentina...no access at all.

    Poor Poor Stevie...his “new politic” for which he thought he was going to win his second Nobel prize...is actually the trolling babbling of someone with less understanding than a 5 year old....or average Uruguayan.

    Oh dear Oh dear.....what a silly turd...and a racist...poor Stevies imaginary children..they must be so ashamed.

At least in their Spanish-language version, Mercopress usually lables as “Falklands/Malvinas, although the ONLY acceptable lable in English is Falkland Islands, and in other languages of EU, ”Falkland” + something for Islands) is lable as set for most EU except for Spain (Malvinas) and France (Malouines).

    It's called paying if the people doing the lending (not you) are happy with the terms.

    Oddly nobody who lends anything to Latam are happy with the terms, hence the punitive rates they charge, or the complete avoidance as with Argentina.

    “US dollar with no cap in Argentina: climbs 3.4% in a single day”

    Argentina can't manage its own affairs, and yet their foreign minister, Hectoring Hector, is out there trying to tell other countries how the world should be run.

    Stevie Stevie Stevie...youdumbfuck!

    Apparently, according to you “trhe UK debt is 1.5T external and 3T to the pensionists.A total of 4.5T”.

    oh dear oh dear oh dear Stevie...are you really that Stupid...have you really such low IQ?

    The UK National debt is about £1.1bn

    This debt is not “external” the VAST Majority of it is internal.

    It is owned by private pension funds, and is entirely a mutually beneficial relationship.

    Every month “the masses” of the UK population put money into their private pensions. The pension fund holders need to invest these billions every month. Some of it will be invested in stocks and shares (BP, Shell, HSBC) aome in government bonds. A nice mix of risk and reward.

    The lowest risk and thus lowest reward are UK government bonds as they offer a low rate of return BUT ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS pay.

    A massive risk reward would be a Latam bond...as its russian roulette whether you see a penny or be accused of attacking their sovereignty unless you accepted 1p in the £.

    So...the vast majority of the UK debt is owned by UK citizens, happy to lend the government money to invest in UK infrastructure.

    The remainder owned by foreign investors inUK bonds, is again because those investors are looking for a safe low return on investment.

    Now...as far as the debt to “pensionists” is concerned...that made me laugh a lot...are you suggesting we pay this debt??? LOL

    Stevie...this is a theoretical number. This is based on all the people currently employed in the public sector have a guarenteed final salary pension.

    Some of these people are not going to retire for 40-50 years Stevie...pmsl

    It is a future liability which can be offset by the taxation these self same people will add due to their employment and the value they will add to society.

    I am sorry you though there were loads of 67 year old plus folk that the government owed trillions to. poor poor thick Stevie.

    We are not agreed at all Stevie, as I have no debt...what weve established is that I (through my private pension fund) have loaned the UK Government through its bonds some money for which it will return a small amount upon maturity.

    I as the owner of the fund am happy to loan at the agreed % and the government is happy to pay at the agreed %, so there is no shitter at all.

    The governments actions to reduce the deficit (not the debt) is to ensure that they can continue to borrow from me at the favourable % rate.

    Sorry this isnt the same as international hedge funds banging the door down and trying to seize UK asset..but there you go.

    Talking to you does make me feel better about myself Stevie..thanks...because it is glaringly apparent that i am better than you in every single way...LOL

    I am quite happy to talk about the poor Stevie..

    Lets try the poor in the Phillipines for example...we sent million of $ of aid and military support in their hour of need...you sent nothing.

    Lets talk about the devastation in Indonesia after the Tsunami...we sent billions of dollars of aid....you sent nothing.

    In the UK there are tiny levels of true poverty, and these are the unfortunate few who have fallen through the welfare system...because the money you begrudge them (the UK debt) has been used to help them...

    In Uruguay the money that may lift the massive number of genuinely poverty striken has been stolen by corrupt government officials and waster.

    Dont try and use you communist bullshit here Stevie...look at the countries that have kicked communism into touch...seem to be doing much better now..

    You and people like you CREATE poverty Stevie...and your jealousy of those whove near erradicated it is palpable.

    Never mind...if talking racist ignorant shit on the internet will help Uruguays poor ...you continue...

    That would leave, according to you and your sources, some 60k in average to cover the debt (what about those who lives in a rented flat?)

    Stevie...truly you are really thick.

    Let me spell it out to you one last time...try and concentrate..I know basic maths is beyond you.

    The national debt is predominantly a deal between UK Private pension funds and the UK government.

    We (the UK people) lend the government money...based on a return.

    So, in essence there is enough money in all the UK Private pension funds to service the UK debt. THIS MONEY IS NOT AT RISK...its our money!

    your ridiculous lunatic thick as shit argument said ...you are leaving a debt burden for you kids or some such dribble...THIS IS BULLSHIT...the asset discussion proved to you beyond any DOUBT that our kids are being left far far more in equity (possibly 10*) than they are in debt.

    You comment about someone in a rented flat just shows how UTTERLY UTTERLY clueless you are.

    i am sorry you cant understand this and think there is a debt collector coming for £1.1 trillion

    We are the fucking debt collector and we want the money over the next 30,40, 50 years based on the returns we have been promised.

    The government has always met these returns and we are happy with them.

    I take great interest in that the Summit is going to declare that the Falklands are Argie property - because they are like 300 miles off their coast?

    If that is so, then Cuba is US property since that little island is only 90 miles off Florida's coast.

    Stevie

    I posted the link in response to your ridiculous mantra

    “you are leaving a debt for your kids....blah blah puke”

    It proves, you were talking shit and “our kids” will inherit far more equity than debt.

    Ridiculous mantra destroyed..part 1

    You next ridiculous mantra is that we must “pay our debts”

    I pointed out that the vast majority of us are the people who loaned the money, to the government on an agreed rate of return. The last thing we want is early settlement..we want the return we agreed at the start.

    Ridiculous mantra destroyed...part 2...and proving you a clueless imbecile

    You then seemed obsessed with pensionists...and that we owed them 3 trillion

    I pointed out that what you are calling a debt is a future liability for people who are not currently pensioners but will be in maybe 30-40 years time...just as there was a liability on all those who a pensioners today...30 years ago. All of them get every single penny they are due

    Ridiculous mantra destroyed part 3

    Of course soon you will return to your favourite mantras:

    Stop killing kids in Iraq. I have pointed out both that there are no longer UK troops in Iraq, and that the absence of military intervention in Syria is sadly leading to greater infant death tolls.

    Ridiculous mantra destroyed part 4

    And of course my favourite:

    I hate the English, but not the welsh, scottish or Irish, because of the military intervention in Iraq and the UKs debt.

    I pointed out that both Prime Ministers during the military campaign in Iraq were Scottish, as we're both Chancellors, as was the Press/spin doctor most associated with David Kelly. Also the Uk debt crisis was caused more than anyone else by the aforementioned Prime ministers and chancellors.

    Ridiculous mantra destroyed part 5....and proving you a racist as well

    It's been a fun week Stevie...what clueless communist/facist mantras do you want to spew next week? Continue to make yourself look stupid.

    Look at your debt now.

    It's higher than when we talked a few hours ago.

    Somehow though, it's getting lower in monkeyland.

    Mainly because the average Brit has a house worth 140k.

    See, I get your point, Monkey.

    You can stop running into your own fist now...

    You are a penis...probably looking for attention.

    The UK government debt has increased because UK pension fund holders have just lent them more money. Over the next many many years the government will return money, with the ore-agreed level of interest and indeed, borrow more money from the same and new pension fund holders.

    So long as it can maintain the low rate, and continue to attract UK pension fund holders investment...there is no problem if the debt is increasing.

    I know you don't understand...that is because you are thick.

    the risk is not of any default, the risk is that the bond market would demand a higher rate of return or look for a safer haven for the money (at the moment there are only a couple of countries with a better credit rating)....the government doesn't want the higher rate as it would waste tax payers money.

    We...the UK pension fund holders are predominantly “the bank”....we the UK population are debt holder ...the bank has plenty of money and the is happy with the rate of return....

    If the UK government believes that there is a risk of not maintaining the rate or the total it needs to pay in interest is too high..it will adjust taxation or spending to control it.

    I know you find these concepts hard to grasp, Stevie.

    I know you are used to Latam politics/economics where your dung heap nations owe foreign bond holders billions and then refuse to pay....I am sorry it is not like that here.

    I know you are used to Latam poverty and Latam corruption and try and make comparisons with the UK...I am sorry but it's not like that here.

    You are an ignorant troll Stevie, a racist ignorant troll...if that's the best you can make of your life...it's a pity...probably a top 10%er in Uruguay...but if I were you I'd find something more constructive.

    Perhaps try a bit harder at school

    Well now you understand that as one of the people who have loaned the government money...I don't wish for them to “pay their debts” at any different time and rate than we already agreed..

    You also understand that the debt is no more “ left to our kids” than anything else they may inherit....which is one of the richest nations on earth...of which the debt is a tiny part of the total equity which they will inherit.

    I am glad I have taught you something Stevie....perhaps if you weren't such a thick twat some of it would have sunk in.

    My guess is not...and you will be back trolling next week...with these, and a whole set of new ridiculous communist/fascist mantras.

    You poor (really poor) ridiculous fool.

    Glad he is happy, as that's the nearest he'll get to his colonialist aspirations.

    “99% of the population of “THE ROCK” in 1967 said they wanted to remain under British administration ... if a Referendum was to be conducted tomorrow the same result would come to pass.”

    If the people in the Spanish border town La Linea (de la Concepción) were allowed to vote in the referendum and to follow its result, you can raise it to 99.6% and the border would move up to E-15.

    “Malvinas: Timerman happy because region summit will state that the Islands are Argentine”

    Actually they won't. I 100% guarantee that the communique will not say that the Falkland Islands are Argentine.

    The summit will say something like:
    “CELAC members support Argentina's legitimate rights over the Malvinas, South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands and surrounding maritime spaces”.

    It is hard to find anyone who will disagree with that. Heck I totally support Argentina's legitimate rights over the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands and surrounding maritime spaces.

    However, Argentina has never been able to actually show any LEGITIMATE rights.

    The UN and even the ICJ totally supports Argentina's legitimate rights.

    legitimate
    /lɪˈdʒɪtɪmət/
    adjective

    1. conforming to the law or to rules.
    synonyms:
    legal, lawful, licit, legalised, authorised, permitted, permissible, allowable, allowed, admissible, recognized, sanctioned, approved, licensed, statutory, constitutional, within the law, going by the rules, above board, valid, honest, upright;
    antonyms:

    2. able to be defended with logic or justification; valid.
    synonyms:

    antonyms:
    invalid, unjustifiable

    Is it just me, or do all the above antonyms actually fit Argentina's claim better?

    I agree. It will be just more blah blah blah from Argentina. And CELAC will respond with blah blah blah and nothing will change.

    That seems to be Argentina's conundrum. Forever chasing a myth that it just can't get.

    While you were fighting them?

    Not very clever then were they?

    Getting out the white flag that is the most important piece of Argentine military kit would have been more sensible...
