    “Argentine Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman said he must be doing the right things regarding the Falklands/Malvinas issue because the Foreign Office prefers to talk to members of the opposition.”

    WTF?????

    This guy is a weapons grade idiot!!!

    I am stunned that the man can be so proud and happy that he is a total failure at the job he is supposed to be doing.

    Timerman, you are a complete moron!!!

    I, for one, agree with Hector. He is doing exactly the right things to ensure the Falklands will never be Argentine.

    @3 - ha ha nothing like a good bit of sarcasm :-). Timmyman really is a plonker. Danger Mouse is sadly ashamed of Timmy once being his trusted side kick.

    Poor, poor, poor Penfold.

    Next weeks complete and utter lie from El Timmy Penfold de Robber will be the world supports Argentina and that Venezuela is the cradle of hope, justice and peace to the world.

    These guys are complete crackers. Surely the UN must have a mad house they can put these guys in.

    TMBOA must be so proud!

    Falklands will never belong to anyone else except the islanders and stupidity of this magnitude by Gollum guarantees it.

    With a foreign minister like this twit it is not wonder Argentina has such a low standing in the International community.

    He must have received a pat on the back from Maduro.

    “ as our policy towards Malvinas is not just this government's it belongs to all Argentines”

    Every single Argentine?

    Another outlandish claim from a guy not in grasp of reality.

    “I’m proud to hear a British official would prefer not to speak with me”

    But you keep insisting on dialogue(-except that for dialogue,Argentine style-read monologue).

    ”If they choose other political parties as their ideal negotiators that means we must be doing something right”,

    This statement is simply too funny for words-so Gollum wants to discuss the Falklands with the UK.
    Because Gollum is a berk the UK don't want to speak with him-that's going to get the dialogue he wishes?

    That's his definition of success?

    @2 HansNiesend

    The above completely vindicates your analysis of how Gollum has done his best to effectively ensure that life carries on in the Falklands as usual.

    12. I think he looks like Mr Potato head. He has absolutely ruined what little shred of dignity Argentina had in the USA. They've been blackballed for years. They can't get an appt with anyone meaningful at State or Prez.
    Silly people they should just close up the Embassy and send everyone home. If not for all of the illegal Rgs here they'd probably do it.

    A snivveling kapo who will happily talk to homicidal antisemites who murdered Jews in Buenos Aires for a few trade dollars, but too weak and cowardly to talk to two peacefully and democratically elected representatives of people he wants to goose-step all over.

    Yup, all this administration can do is make anyone who comes after them look better.

    I suppose it would be too much to ask if one, or more, or the argie arse-lickers that get on here could contact Gollum the Simple Pimple to inform him of exactly how he is viewed. It is true that he has been incredibly successful in portraying argieland as the place of origin of an incredible number of bungling buffoons. That's good. Many countries must be grateful that argieland has taken up their quota of bungling buffoons. The Simple Pimple and the Turgid Tramp must have a lot of fun dreaming up their next blunder. How they must laugh over those pictures of a Royal Navy fleet submarine taken in the River Clyde as “proof” of the militarisation of the South Atlantic. Then there's the giggle over the Pimple proposing to spend US$1 million on his daughter's wedding reception in Uruguay. I also found it quite amusing to watch the bandy-legged Turgid Tramp trying to give Prime Minister Cameron a brown paper envelope. Were the contents prints of the various non-binding resolutions? With a US$1000 bill between each sheet? Then there were the hugely-successful argie objections to the Falklands referendum. No doubt another one of the Pimple's bright ideas. Thanks for the publicity! Oh, I nearly forgot to mention how Gollum scuttled out of the Foreign Office at the mere thought of having to meet two Falkland Islanders. Keep it up, Gollum, you're doing great!!!!

    Why don't they put dear old Hector in charge of Argentina's basket of staples so that they can estimate inflation?

    Where is their chief Malvinista, the one with the new office appointed by KFC?

    The best thing they could do with Gollum would be to stuff him and put him in their Malvinas museum! He would then be just as effective!

    Dear,
    Argentine Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman

    There are very few certainties in this world today,
    And many lies spoken by bullshitters like you,
    But may one inform you of some of these certainties.
    1, the Falklands are British, were, and is, and as long as the islanders freely choose so, they will always be
    2, Argentina, have never had them, administered them, and never will,
    3, you are almost bald, revealing that common sense left you donkeys ago.
    4, and you are very short sighted, deluded, and like playing follow the leader.
    5, you leader is abt to be removed from office as soon as the next referendum is over.
    6, Great Britain, will always defend the Falklands against greedy bullies like Argentina.
    And as long as you have a hole up your jacksy, you will always lose.

    Yours
    The British people on behalf of the islanders..

    Timerman has just revealed to the world that the Argentine claim about wanting negotiations is a lie.

    As has been said many times before the Falklands issue is simply used by CFK as a distraction whenever the country is in crisis.

    Without the islands she'd have nothing to distract the people and would very quickly find herself scrabbling aboard a helicopter with an angry mob hot on her heels.

    Argentines stated policy:

    To “regain” the sovereignty of the Falkland Islamds

    Timmermans progress on this: Absolutely Zero.

    Argentinas actual policy:

    To hide their economic incompetence behind a nationalistic fervour of ignorance based on fairy tales from 200 years ago....and be happy clapped by Malvinasta cretins..knowing full well they have no claim

    Timmermans progress on this...Achieved

    So yes, he should've happy.

    So, just to sum up;

    A senior (Argentine) government minister is proud of the fact that a relatively junior foreign (British) government minister would denigrate him publicly.

    Timmerman calls first for dialogue but when snubbed in favour of the opposition he claims this as proof of success in his job!?!?!?

    Where does he live, Narnia?

    “”“”Timerman has just revealed to the world that the Argentine claim about wanting negotiations is a lie. “”“”

    Yeah... its a statement of almost unbelievable stupidity by Timmerman.

    So now not only do they not accept tri-lateral negotiations, they are now happy not to talk to Britain either.

    Dumb, and dumber.

    1st laugh :: “I’m proud to hear a British official would prefer not to speak with me“.
    So Timerboy is proud to be relegated to 3rd plan...he's proud to be as useful as a fart on a curtainrail.....he should be left out of the equation alltogether.
    2nd laugh :: ”Timerman assured that the UK official’s statements were “mistaken, as our policy towards Malvinas is not just this government's it belongs to all Argentines and Latin Americans”.
    “Belongs to all Latin Americans ”??? Maybe Brazil should put in a claim for the Falklands as well....after all we're only a couple of thousand miles away....and probably sometime in the 19th Century, a portuguese sailor must have set foot on the Islands, even if for only 6 days....I “Think” I'll speak to Dilma...

    @34 Tarquin Fin

    Thank you. I do what I can...

    Personally I feel that most of the 'K-gang' live somewhere in the back of a wardrobe, many are obviously groping in the dark, some can't leave the economoc closet, and the rest are truly in in political La-La Land!
