Dec 02nd, 2014 - 11:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0Take note Argentina: it's called self-determination.
Dec 02nd, 2014 - 11:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0A nice change from the pre-1982 stance of these territories are an inconvenience, lets get rid.
Dec 02nd, 2014 - 12:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Looks like the UK at last looks after its responsibilities-hence the fact that economically, they will all progress.
Let's see the UK give a grant to help the Falklands build a permanent deep water port, rather than give aid money to governments that put it into Swiss bank accounts.
Can the runway at St Helena be extended?
it is just a meeting of money laundering centres.
Dec 02nd, 2014 - 12:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0terrorism financing centres, to be more specific.
and of course, the money laundering capital is...london.

Dec 02nd, 2014 - 05:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0POLLY is just sick to falling off his perch because TDC has no money to launder: TMBOA and her brood have nicked it all.

Dec 02nd, 2014 - 08:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“all of those twats should be in jail”
Timerman could always issue arrest warrants for them, like he has for all oil workers in the Falklands.
Please remind me again, how many oil workers in the Falklands have actually been arrested and jailed by Argentina, since 2010?
perhaps number 4 is hurt by the low standards of his own government,
Dec 02nd, 2014 - 08:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0compared to the high standards of the British,
and attacking us, is his only way of letting of steam..lol
no boludo 9, i recognize the low standards of “my own” government, of “my” politicians and all you want.
Dec 02nd, 2014 - 09:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0you are the ones who completely lack of self-criticism.
not a surprise since you have to have a high iq to be self-critical.

Dec 02nd, 2014 - 09:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you open any newspaper in the Uk or watch any TV news programme you will see critical analysis of the government of the days actions. Some of it is high quality critique, others less so.
In Argentina if the Government had the same scrutiny, if the press had the same level of critical analysis...I wonder the result.
Probably nothing, as you say, one needs a high IQ to be self-critical...I actually think most Argentines love this corrupt bunch of thieves.

Dec 02nd, 2014 - 09:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the most popular newspapers, tv programs, radio programs, etc are those who oppose to the government.
no wonder you have never read clarín, la nación, etc., cause you're a monoglot .
but it seems you have never read english papers like the telegraph, and the most popular: the mirror, the sun, daily mail, etc, etc, either.
probably you think that that shite represents critical analysis.
Quoting an article from 6 years ago, is rather stupid.
Dec 02nd, 2014 - 10:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0For up to date financial management try this link:

Dec 02nd, 2014 - 11:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you don't speak Spanish you are a monoglot ? So French, German or Greek don't count as languages ?
If you live in Europe then Spanish MAY be useful for holidays but not much else.
It would seem that Prawn-septic @4 just googles his prejudices and then selects an article to fit them. Even if it an article from six years ago anf then prevents it as 'evidence'
Dec 03rd, 2014 - 01:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0He has form for this, and a little collection of them. The same links he uses everytime.......
He is just so jealous. He would love an invite to London.
*yawn*

Dec 03rd, 2014 - 02:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0“ thats why all the worlds rich want property and prescence there.”
what?
you mean russian mafiosi?
you can keep them all.
and it is LOSER, not LOOSER, you loser.
Who cares if they are money laundering. They're stil British.
Dec 03rd, 2014 - 05:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0Not Spanish.
Not Argentinean.
They don't need to speak any languages other than English.
English is the Lingua Franca of the world. It is the world's first global language.
English is the future language that EVERYONE will need to know to survive in the global economy. Speaking another language will a hobby for native English speakers. Unneeded but will make travelling more fun.
Another *yawn* for the Prawn @16
