    Someone is worried by the look of it.

    Surely, even an old commie like Vasquez isn't that stupid to have authorized this foolish act.

    I wonder how many extra votes Pou will get due to this?

    “What is surprising it that they also dismantled and took all the security system both inside and outside the building”.

    Makes you wonder why was the system so easy to disarm?

    More blatant corruption and dirty tricks. Just makes the Gov look worse, probably boost the ratings of Pou.

    I can see Mujica holding up both hands with the “V for Victory” sign and declaring “Yo no soy un ladrón!”

    @ 2 Polly
    “and (SIC) why don't you go back to your wonderful england (SIC) then?”

    Why should I move, I live in Uruguay?

    No, the real answer is to get rid of the argie scum by the policia shooting them in the process of them committing crimes or sending them back to argieland after branding them with ‘culo’ on their forehead.

    They wouldn’t get back in then, would they?

    @ 10 ilsen

    Haven’t had chance to talk to my favourite political ‘watcher’ but hopefully next week. :o)

    ALL the criminals here in B.A. are from:
    1. chile
    2. paraguay & perú
    3. uruguay & bolivia.

    luckily all of them will be deported from now on, so you have to expect a rise in the criminal rate there.
    still, mvd and pde are much safer than london and their jihadists

    ALL the criminals here in B.A. are from...
    Why is your Vice - President being investigated?
    Why is Cristina's banker being investigated foe all those shell-companies in Nevada?
    Why is everyone involved in trading the 'blue' is officially a criminal?
    Why does Argentina continue to make criminal, colonist claims on the Falklands and the Antartic?
    Truly, Argentina is a Nation of criminals.
    Sad really, no wonder the world considers them a joke nation.
    A particularly crap joke that a 5 year old might tell.

    Any feedback on why you have a parallel exchange rate and proper countries don't?

    i was talking about common criminals.
    cristina, boudou etc are even worse than that.
    the good thing is that we can recognize it, while you bunch of brainwshed islanders think that cameron, thatcher, blair and morgan the pirate are heroes.

    Glad to see that you admit your elite are crims.

    Why is everyone involved in trading the 'blue' is officially a criminal?
    Sounds common to me.
    You are all criminals if you buy the the 'blue'.
    Are you not?

    Common as muck, as we say in your beloved British Isles...
    :--)
    Are you going to reply on the other threads, or go shit-surfing instead?

    And it is Mrs Ilsen to you, young man. Do try to address your betters in the correct form.
    bloody natives...

    An atypical break-in. Local thieves do not take so much stuff, they steal just money and easily sell-able goods.
    On the other hand, government's agents are too old (60+) or just useless for this kind of task.
    Perhaps the authors were foreigners, sent by a “friendly” country to “help”.

    One begins to wonder if “paulcedron” is another name for the idiot child Tobias ??? they seem to be of the same mental age. IV.

    Morgan the Pirate IS a hero. You, on the other hand, are an Opus Dei crypto Fascist. I do hope this clears things up for you. ;)

    good to know you recognize your heroes are basically pirates.
    they would be execrated in any decent country.
