    As long as you are not seen as to militarise the south Atlantic, then CFK will not cry to the UN.

    Then let her cry!

    The only people who agree with her there, are those who would support her if she was telling them that the moon was made of cheese and that the British were secretly stealing it away bit by bit in rocket ships.

    Great too see them in the UK. Political suicide for any British government too sell out the people of the Falklands or Gib or indeed any BOT against their wishes.

    #3 I think Top Gear is very popular in Argentina. Wonder what they will substitute for the RG episode? I suppose they could do a special episode and take the Trolley Dolly for a ride up the Thames in one of those amphibious boats that sink - should make her feel right at home?
    Or, they could do something like a car powered jousting match, Clarkson vs Gollum, that would be fun?
    Or perhaps do a pie eatinng contest where the competitors are placed in a Mini filled with pies and they have to eat their way out. If the RGs chose Fat Max as their representative for that they would stand a good chance of winning?

    I am sure there are some civilised people in Argentina it is just a shame that the current government does what it can to inflame these groups of thugs and eventually they become the face with of Argentina to the UK.

    Given the idiotic Argentine attempt to film propaganda in the Falkland Islands before the Olympics, this stands in contrast as Argentina shoots itself in the foot and demonstrates that it doesn't qualify to govern their own country let alone someone else's.

    Argentina government films in Falklands - they show why they should not be allowed to govern the islands by disrespecting war memorials.
    BBC films in Argentina - Argentinians show why they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the Falklands by launching a violent racist attack on the presenters and crew.

    Just imagine if one of the Top gear crew crew was armed-then the stones would be replaced instantly by white flags.

    Defence Chief Fallon:
    Please take note that real peace in the South Atlantic means that the
    following is needed to protect the area against international brigands:
    -8 Eurofighters (instead of 4)
    -1 T-45 Destroyer (at least)
    Desire the Right- and God save the Falklands!
