They will be arrested as soon as they set foot on Argentine soil, not much danger of that I think!

But but but where does it mention Malvinas? English squatters go home! You are nothing but rubbish colonialists and pirates. You don't belong in South America!

Sorry but I told Sussie, Marcos and Think that I'd cover for them while they went to a pot bashing rally to demonstrate about the shortage of loo paper.

Chuckle chuckle

They must be building some huge prisons if they are going to arrest every single person who has worked for or in the Islands Oil industry-they must have a huge bureaucracy just to issue the arrest warrants.
