    this is rather childish of the press to pursue,
    it was private between two people,
    but one should take note, never ever talk politics if the press are around
    or you will get ironed on..

    just a hot thought.

    Why shouldn't the Queen be allowed to be happy at the outcome anyway ?
    Total non story , like much of what Murkypress publishes .

    True, he was overheard him using his description of her obvious happiness at the result.

    WTF, did they expect they expect her to be, annoyed?

    The general consensus is that this could have been worse, I doubt much will come of it after Charles's recent reported comments comparing Putin to Hitler. Sometimes you just say what you feel.

    “It's unofficial, but the Queen 'purred' with happiness with the Scotland result”

    of course.
    she keeps 5.5 million people to pay her and her useless family for doing nothing.
    more or less the same situation with the inhabitants of the islets.

    Yep and there's nothing Argentina can do about it.

    Self determination baby. Eat it up.

    'God save the Queen.'

    Nothing like having a 'successful and respected constitutional monarch.'

    “”“”God save the fireman.“””

    do you have any of those in Argentina?

    (only asking as nowadays you never know.. they're either all ons trike or are like your navy: only exist on paper [ or unintentionally under-water])

    ---

    It must reallys ting the Malvos that they are going to ahve an ever more difficult time trying to persuade the world about the “bad colonisers UK” when there's these rather prominent self-determination referendi going on all over the place.

    Maybe Argentina should let the indigenous vote on whether they want to let all the colonising Euros and their squatter descendants to stay in their country?

    Nah.. silly idea... it'd be like Scots voting on whether or not they want to stay part of the Uk.. just HWO would do something as silly as actually let people show their right to self-determination like that?

    certainly not a coloniser nasty like the UK...

    All very interesting Anbar.
    However you dodge the question in several directions - colonialism, economy, the Scots etc etc.
