The BBC has refused to apologize to Argentina over a Top Gear special filmed in the country. The show's stars and crew had to abandon filming last month amid angry protests over a car number-plate that appeared to refer to the Falkland Islands War. Read full article

Nov 01st, 2014 - 04:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0I hope BBC airs lots and lots of footage showing the juvenile reaction of Argentineans over a simple number plate.
“ ...a fair representation... ”

Nov 01st, 2014 - 08:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0Asking for an apology about a number plate (was this actually a legit Argentine number plate and if so why do the Argies allow it to be in circulation?) and not apologising for criminal damage caused to the BBC is another indication that Argentina never seem to 'get it'.
Nov 01st, 2014 - 09:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0The airing of Top Gear is going to really backfire on Argentina, especially when Clarkson and co add their commentary-hope his comment about 20 year old Falkland veterans-you do the maths is made, and hopefully when some of us posters have time then a letter to Clarkson about a documentary on 1833 will really make the Argies wish they had laughed off the number coincidence and if they felt so strongly, that it was deliberate, they could have taken the piss out of the top gear team.
If an 1833 documentary is aired, then Argentina's propaganda will melt into obscurity.
It has provided us Brits with much ammo, again highlighting that Argentines are great acting as a mob when there is no effective opposition but when there is, cue the white flags.
And they concentrate on complaining about things they cannot change yet fail to influence the things they can.

Arg just don't get it do they?

The final 2 paragraphs of Danny Cohen's letter are the exact opposite of an apology :

I do not support the Cristina government at all but I really find it hard to accept the BBC statement that the number plate - H982 FKL - was a 'coincidence'.
Nov 01st, 2014 - 11:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0@23...Me, too, but the controversy has created a lot of hype for the show...which no delights the show's producers. I don't support the actions of the Argies but the Top Gear people responsible for using this plate are also aholes.
Nov 01st, 2014 - 11:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0@23 Pytangua
Nov 01st, 2014 - 11:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well only the Argentinians seem to think that the number plate refers to the Falklands War...a bit strange really because don't they use a made up name for the Falklands instead of its real name?
Regardless of whether the number plate was a coincidence or a prank, nothing about the behaviour of the Argentinians...including their government and ambassador...is what would happen in a civilised country.
But the world is now going to see just how uncivilised Argentina is...and it will have a big impact on how the world perceives them, which will in turn affect tourism, just at a time when they are desperately cash strapped and in need of every dollar that tourists bring.
But what can you expect from a country that doesn't plan ahead, lives in the now and never thinks through the consequences of their actions.
They may have scored one or two brownie points among their domestic audience, but outside of Argentina they have lost and are still losing ground in just about every area.
And now their credit rating for bonds has been moved from 'C' to 'D' as in default.
But they only have themselves to blame.
US Airforce clearly knows nothing at all about the UK.... has he really been claiming to have served in the UK???
Nov 01st, 2014 - 11:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Orange parades in England..ppffshh...

Nov 01st, 2014 - 11:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0He said he hasn't seen or read anything that indicates it was a deliberate act. Why, do you know for certain that he HAS read or seem something to that effect? If not, then why accuse him of lying? He hasn't stated a personal opinion about whether it was likely to have been deliberate or not - merely that he was told it wasn't deliberate and nothing he has seen or read has challenged that. What else can he do, decide everything on his gut feeling?
In any case why on earth is this such a big deal? The BBC were in the process of giving your country fantastic exposure - the TG specials are broadcast almost everywhere and always make the backdrops look fantastic. All you had to do to get your good publicity was not attack them or run them out of the country. But no, even that low bar was still too high for Argentina. And all over a numberplate!

3) Anyhow, we have more tourists down here than our infrastructure can handle...
I'm positive though that that Top Gear show will deliver its “Fantastic Exposure” to the “Right Kind” of tourist whilst the “Bellend Loving Wrong Kind” will, as always, continue holidaying in Sousse, Alanya or Sharm el Sheik, swallowing the food and drinks their friendly Muslim waiters spit on...

Nov 01st, 2014 - 01:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Drumcree conflict or Drumcree standoff is an ongoing dispute over a yearly parade in the town of Portadown, Northern Ireland. The dispute is between the Orange Order (an Ulster Protestant, unionist organization) and local residents, who are mostly Catholic and/or Irish nationalist. The residents are currently represented by the Garvaghy Road Residents Coalition (GRRC). The Orange Order insists that it should be allowed to march its traditional route to-and-from Drumcree Church, just outside the town (see map). However, most of this route is through the town's mainly Catholic quarter, which is densely populated. It had marched this route since 1807, when the area was mostly farmland. The residents, who see the parade as sectarian, triumphalist[1] and supremacist, have sought to ban it from their area.[2] The Orangemen see this as an attack on their traditions. The “Drumcree parade” is held on the Sunday before the Twelfth of July.
There have been intermittent violent clashes during the parade since at least 1873. The onset of the Troubles led to the dispute intensifying in the 1970s and 1980s. At this time, the most contentious part of the parade was the outward leg along Obins Street. After serious violence two years in a row, the parade was banned from Obins Street in 1986. The focus then shifted to the parade's return leg along Garvaghy Road.
Orange walks are a series of parades held annually by members of the Orange Order on a regular basis during the summer in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and occasionally in England, the Republic of Ireland, and throughout the Commonwealth. These typically build up to 12 July celebrations which mark Prince William of Orange's victory over King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. Although the term 'march' or 'parade' is widely used in the media, the Order prefers terms such as 'walk' or 'demonstration'.
malparidos..
I was brought up a Catholic in England. This behaviour is in Northern Ireland because there is loud minority who believes they are Irish. The Orange order is a Calvinist organisation which believes the Calvinists best interests are served in the UK. They are bigots and we English whatever faith finds them offensive. But please remember the type of Protestant is different depending on what part of the UK are in. Calvinists are only large in numbers in Northern Ireland and Scotland. Both countries are similar culturally.

@3, 22, 23, 24, 30, 31. Poor little kiddies. Where's the argie apology for invading British territory and occupying it to the detriment of the legitimate inhabitants? Where's the apology for starting a war? Where's the apology for killing 255 British servicemen and 3 Falkland Islanders. Where's the apology for 200 years of lies. Where's the apology for a colony trying to claim a proper nation's territory? (Argieland not a 'country' until 1858 when recognised by spain). Where's the apology for the failures to comply with the UN Charter and international law? Where's the apology for terrorist activity on the South Sandwich Islands and South Georgia? Where's the apology for the improper and propaganda trespass on the WW1 Falklands Memorial? Where's the apology for all the lies told to the UN? Where's the apology for the current argie economic war? Where's the apology for all the argie threats? Where's the apology for its genocidal history? Where's argieland's apology for existing? Would 48 Trident missiles with MIRV warheads effect an improvement? What's wrong with a Trident with 14 MIRV 100 kilotonne warheads? Bit of math. One missile = 1,400 kilotonnes. 48 missiles = 67,200 kilotonnes. Might be an idea to be polite. There are very few people in Britain who have a problem with anything that might happen to argieland. Excellent place for a space defence to divert an asteroid. But, since it's been suggested, Chubut would be an ideal location on which an asteroid could be crashed and then have nuclear missiles rained on it. Nothing human there anyway!

I cited that in my post. I will admit I haven't driven it, or been there. Under the present circumstances, why would anyone ?
But I have driven our BR 116 many times, North to South, and no it quite well including the cities along the way. Friendly people, good food and good music, with no rock throwing mobs along the way, beating drums, flying flags, and otherwise acting like the brown-shirted Sturmabteilung (SA) of that famous Bolivian Army adviser, Ernst Rohm.
So can you admit you have never been on the BR 116 ?

Argentina can't hide the fascist actions of its mob violence of supposed veterans that hadn't been born. But with a bread shortage and the circus losing its lustre, I suppose there is little for most Argentineans to do.
Interesting that Top Gear is now in the Top End!
What has outraged me is the New South Welsh number plate that obviously makes fun of the 243 people killed by Japan's first bombing of Darwin in 1942.

V obviously rhymes with 3 and so it says N-BR-243.
Now I'm unsure what the N-BR stands for but as soon as we do, then we'll commence the stoning.

Argentina has never said sorry for attacking the Falkland islands or for laying all those land mines. They have never even helped de mine the area or even say where the mines were laid.
Its a pity the Vulcans stopped at the airport, at the time the mainland was worried we might visit BA, perhaps we should have
Never half do a job as it always comes back to annoy you. Next time, its ashes and rubble
@88. Don't you get it? Argies exposed to the world as warmongers. Argies exposed as liars. Argies exposed as effluent. Argies exposed as unsuccessful thieves. Could British troops get a better press than the ability to slaughter crap in 54 days? Why did we take 11,313 cowards as prisoners? Isn't the purpose of the war to kill the enemy? I can see why argieland is annoyed. Not only leaving 11,313 cowards alive to claim benefits, but also taking them back. Now argieland celebrates LOSING a war. How sick can you get?
Nov 02nd, 2014 - 12:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@94. To be fair, I understand that argieland originally offered. Problem was that argieland and Britain had different ideas about methodology. Britain thought it was appropriate for an adequate number of argies to hop across suspected minefields. Several times. Britain was also keen on planting several hundred British mines just to be sure it was fair.
Good on the BBC, they did the right thing.
Nov 02nd, 2014 - 12:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It has already been pointed out that the plates were not a reference to the UK's liberation of the Falklands. Even if they were, Argentina's response was totally uncivilised and uncalled for.
I seem to recall that barely a couple of years ago, a member of Argentina's Olympics team was filmed running across the WW1 Memorial on the Falklands. This footage was included in an advert with a quote along the lines of “To compete on British soil, training on Argentine soil”.
This was essentially calling the Falklands “Argentine soil”, which is undisputably a lie. And yet, no apology was made by Argentina, since they still insist on making their fake claim to British soil.
When Argentina has apologised for their attempted usurpation of British soil in 1833, the subsequent illegal invasion and occupation in 1982, their constant lies in order to push a fake claim to British soil *and* that advert, then they may attempt to claim the moral high ground.
Until then, neither the high ground or an apology for Top Gear are on the cards.

“”“So the comment @26 about Religion isn't a big thing in the UK is ludicrous.”“”
Nov 02nd, 2014 - 07:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So ludicrous its true...
of course am sure that you, as somebody who doesnt live in the UK, know far more about the state of life over here then any of us who do live here do.
Being (supposedly) Argentine, if your opinion isnt factual you can simply change history so that it is (at least within Argentina)..everywhere else, will, of course, continue with the facts.
I know its hard for all you RC folks to grasp but religion just isnt a bi thing anymore... i'm sur eyou can dig up the odd fossil or three who think it is, but the facts remian that most of the UK population are “christian” only so far as they arent anything else and went to a nominally CofE school.
At the rate Jedism is growing it will outstrip practising Christianity in the Uk within 11 years...and that isnt because Jedis are growing at some phenominal rate, its because practising CHristians have never been fewer and are shrinking in numbers all the time.
Unlike your South American RC fanatics... get ready for it.. religion just aint a big thing.
(Which you would know if you actually knew anything about the UK or had ever lived here).
WHich is why when you got an Argentine Pope, and every Malvo was screaming for him to demand the Falklands, pretty much the whole of the UK shrugges its shoulders and went “Who gives a shyte what the pope thinks?”

Britain “potentially” owes money because it's economy has over-achieved, it's GDP growth has exceeded expectations, through making the difficult decisions which France (and the UK Labour party) said wouldn't work.
Somehow Thunk believes this is political capital...shows how desperate he is.
Britain has no debts to the Eu, as no payment is required until December, and even then there is time to appeal.
Of course Britain will, and always does, pay its fair share...Argentina NEVER does, because their governments are inherently dishonest and corrupt.
