Oct 04th, 2014 - 01:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I thought so too.
Obviously Mercopress feels differently. They must think the UK has undue influence in the region.

I think all the young women of TDC will be dismayed, he’s hardly a Bond, but will that matter as they are so desperate to leave the crisis capital of the planet?
Oct 04th, 2014 - 04:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Stunning looking women but they are not stupid; they know staying in TDC will see them grow old without having had any fun.
Who can blame them?

Oct 04th, 2014 - 07:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Currently in London there are many, many beautiful, educated young Argentines in London just trying to make a better life for themselves. The ones I have conversed with consider the Falklands question to be an anachronism of a previous generation.
They don't care. They are excited to be in London and aspire to be global citizens.
oh, btw, for other posters, we really don't care when they wear Argentine football shirts to the pub to support their team.
Lots of banter, yes. But in good humour.
We are certainly above stoning people.
It is more normal for the youngsters of all nationalities to go outside to smoke weed, get properly stoned and bond with each other!
Shhhhhhhhhhh

Remember when the Ira put a rocket into the front of the GCHQ building.

Oct 05th, 2014 - 05:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You mean the SIS building in Vauxhall, and despite being an anti-tank missile it did nothing but superficial damage to a superbly designed (if not ugly) building.
Remember in 82 when gun fire almost took out one of there warships? An anti tank missile would have probably collapsed the entire government.

Oct 05th, 2014 - 07:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0GCHQ is in Cheltenham. The IRA never attacked it.
Do your research before posting, you look like an amateur otherwise.
:-)))
Very well, Mi6 building Vauxhall bridge, South Thames, London.
Oct 05th, 2014 - 08:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Dissidents put an rpg-22 in it.
The intention quite obviously was not one of just damaging the building, but rather one of saying 'your intelligence services dont know half as much as they'd like to think'.

Oct 05th, 2014 - 09:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and. .?
so what? Ultimately they achieved nothing.
Rather moots your point somewhat. If in fact you had one.
Still amateur league I'm afraid. Don't give up tho!
The level of quality trolls is fading fast on this site.
Will you step up to the challenge?
Arf!
:-))))
@ 13 No Vestige of a brain
Oct 05th, 2014 - 09:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“ 'your intelligence services dont know half as much as they'd like to think'.”
Well you would say that as it also applies to you.
You continue to demonstrate each time you 'post'.

Oct 05th, 2014 - 10:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He is merely speculating.
Possibly Mi5 were expecting it and let it happen in order to whip up nationalistic fervour and win more money and powers from the Gov of the day?
Who knows?
When it to Mi5, we are all speculating.
I guess that is where their true power lies. In what we don't know.
Least of all last vestige of an informed comment. ..
:-))
Damn. So easily offended.

Oct 06th, 2014 - 09:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0No no no, that type of incident isn't worth a tripling of budget.
They took an explosive load to the face of their building.
