Falklands. It seems like a real world power...
Dec 18th, 2014 - 01:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Here's some statistics…
Falkland has been in Mercopress 142 times in the last three month, Brazil 38 times.
Population ratio of one to 61,000. To equalize proportions Brazil should have appeared at least 2.3 million times.
Hmmm…Is this a paid PR stunt or simply paid advertisement? Fortuna IS a big company AY?
Anyway Good luck Ian! At least 3000 people trust you!
so, a social worker is the director of health, huh?
Dec 18th, 2014 - 03:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0no, you dumbassholes, the director of health SHOULD BE a medical doctor, got it?
and then they ask why the fuck the do not have a ct scanner, a magnetic resonator, a psychoanalist or a dentist...LOL
hillbillies all of them.
Shut up Paul and go find a job. At least this guy has one.
Dec 18th, 2014 - 04:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How would you know how medical systems work in developed countries? You have dogs sleeping inside the hospitals in Argentina.
Argentina's infant mortality and HIV prevelance are higher than the UK and your life expectancy is lower.
Seems you might want to look at your own crap health care system before trying to tell others how to run theirs.... especially as theirs works BETTER.
Why would they need a psychoanalyst?. All the nut cases are in Argentina
Dec 18th, 2014 - 06:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0with that criterium of hiring a social worker as a director of health instead of a sanitarian doctor, it is not a surprise that england has the worst healthcare system in europe and one of the worst in the western world.
Dec 18th, 2014 - 10:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0it is just a 3rd world country, but located in europe.

Dec 19th, 2014 - 12:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0You really are a complete idiot. Why would you think we don't have a dentist? We have two, who provide free dental care for everyone. And we have a consultant psychiatrist who sees patients on a regular basis.
And why would you have a doctor as the head of a government department? We have a Chief Medical Officer to look after the medical side. The Director of health and social care manages budgets, staffing, policy implementation and reporting. It's not a medical job. It can be someone with a social services background because it's a social care department. I don't see why you're finding that difficult.
You're so dumb you're hilarious. Are you sure you aren't on our side? What you think doesn't really matter, but it is very funny and entertaining. Carry on.

That's it Paul. Keep logging in And ignoring your reality. The Falkland Islands are British and all you can do is squeal about it every single day.

Dec 19th, 2014 - 02:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0You have a job, and evidently, a very good education!
Pablo Peronist Puppet CabanaBoy once said he was “studying Architecture” - though I wonder what that means!
He certainly is not one of those “sensitive ” artist types, and his all-round knowledge outside of his Villa Miserables ghetto, is abysmal.
I don't see any questing, searching, mind.
Nor do I see any indication he has any formal education after the Primary grades.
He cannot state connected facts to draw a conclusion, and back it up with the required source material.
This bitter pseudo-intellectual cynic appears to suffer from a wealth of pretentions and no money or means to support them.
I'd say he's 'full of himself', but being 'full of sh!t” describes him better.
Pablo, why do you defend your corrupt government????
Pay your debts - deadbeat!!
Studying architecture means that as he worked in construction he had a chance to actually see some architects and now thinks that his skills transfer straight across. He showed his stupidity with this logic once before.
Dec 19th, 2014 - 05:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0Anyway subject change but same theme. How small is the world? I found a place to live in Mexico City and my new roommate's step son is now in Melbourne studying English. He will start his Masters in Architecture at my university next year.
Paul will still be unemployed.
What a bizarre world - freaky coincidences !!
Dec 19th, 2014 - 07:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Looking forward to hearing your impressions of Mexico City :-)
You DO know that Argentines like Pablo, will tell you Mexicans are inferior to Argies!!

I guess you don't want us reading that one, if it exists!
Could it be that you took some statements out of context, a biased source, or you just made it up??
You don't really have much of relevance to say, do you??
The best you can do is criticise spelling, after all we have said to you!
Skip is obviously using a 'smartphone' with 'auto-correct' - you've probably never seen one, let alone own one.
It looks like you are the one that could use an education, AND a bath - you REEK of indoctrination.

Dec 19th, 2014 - 05:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Still unemployed I see. Still showing how bad Argentina is with every post.
I mean it is impossible to argue that Argentina is better than Britain. So if Britain is so bad then Argentina must be truly awful.
Your country has FAILED! It failed to get the Falklands. It failed to invent some new economic system. It failed to prosper. It failed to give you a meaningful life.
Nostrils is clearly mentally unstable. Think attempts to use his comments like a scalpel and carefully chooses his topic. But you just rant and rave all over the place in a vain attempt to make the UK look bad. And all you prove is how jealous you are.
Instead of working you spend all day googling the UK. You aren't an architect and now you aren't even in construction. Indeed what do you do for your country?
Zip! Which is the culture that Peronism has fostered. You are a true Personist and Kirchnerist. You think deflecting fills a void. But it doesn't now does it Paul. That void can't be filled. It is a bottomless pit of hate, denial, jealousy, pain, inferiority and worthlessness. This “4th class news site” is the highlight of your day. You don't have money to do anything else. I mean, Jesus Christ, I'm a bloody poor student and living in another country for my summer.
Where do you think I should go for my July holidays? Yes even as a poor student and after travelling for 3 months, I will still be able to afford to go overseas AGAIN.
You'll probably still be unemployed because your economy is in the toilet and flushing hard with Russia and Venezuela. Mine won't be because it is a country that works. You know it does. Sucks doesn't it.... for you, you loser.
Troy you have to use one to know how unpredictable autocorrect is.

Dec 19th, 2014 - 07:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“I mean it is impossible to argue that Argentina is better than Britain. So if Britain is so bad then Argentina must be truly awful. ”
and who said that argentina is “better” than britain, you beaner?
we already know that you cannot spell a simple word correctly.
now we know that you cannot even read an article.
read the headline again:
“Britain 'worst in Europe' for child deaths”
“Britain's NHS - One of the the worst health services in Western Europe”
the key phrase is “IN EUROPE”, got it now, you brainless chilango?
and let me tell you something beaner, you dont know what the fuck is the peronismo, the kirchnerismo, the radicalismo, the pro, unen, etc.
you cannot define nor classify any of them.
the only ones who can be against kirchner and her crappy minions are us, honest, intelligent and sensitives argentinians, not you.
so shut your ass up.

Pablo, you dupe...
The Peronists and CFK, are manipulating YOU, and other idiots like you.
Her's the irony - every time you rant and rave against us, the UK and USA, and the Falklands, as the “enemy” and the cause of all your misfortunes, you show us and CFK, that they have tricked you.
YOU are so stupid, you don't even see it - and they get away with it again!!
So, who/what are you?
The “ Aryentinian People's Front APF” or the “People's Front of Aryentina PFA”???
From outside, Peronist, Kirchnerist, Radicalismo, Populist StableBoys... whatever..., you all look the same - quasi Socialist/Fascist, corrupt Populists.
You all defend the same actions, and you all point the finger towards an imaginary enemy.
There is a saying... “If it walks like a Peronist, talks like a Peronist...stinks like a Peronist... then it's .... ”
Well you get the picture. :-)
Why are YOU defending CFK???
BTW,
What is your point of comparing NHS to EU Health?? Idiota!!
...and thanks for admitting Aryentina is worse than UK !!!

no, you pelotudo, kirchner is manipulating you, band of paranoid 4th class plebs.
and being an isleter, it is not a surprise that you can´t differentiate domestic politics with a sovereign issue, you twat.
the “misfortunes” of argentina are the result of having useless governments.
nothing to do with the u.s. or the uk, at least in the last 10 years.
on the other hand, the uk has not enough importance to influence in any country.
the uk is only responsible of stealing a pair of islets.
that´s it.
got it now?
and a piece of advice, try to change that joke of “”smartphone“” you have.
it seems it is as dumb as its owner. LOL

Dec 19th, 2014 - 09:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0'Isleter' isn't even a word. I wouldn't mind that, except that you seem to be labouring under the illusion that you are smarter than other people here (and worms, and stones etc).
I have another question for you, since you obviously still need time to think about the last one; if the Falklands is completely rubbish, and the UK is utterly insignificant, then what are you even doing here? I have a theory that you actually have nothing to say, apart from juvenile insults. Why don't you go out and get a life?

Dec 19th, 2014 - 09:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am quite bright actually.
Did you know that a UK politician lost his job for calling someone a 'pleb'? And rightly so; insulting someone on account of the class that you think they belong to is not really acceptable in educated circles. In fact it hasn't been for several decades. All you're proving so far is that you fall below the standard required to be employed as a Conservative minister, and that isn't anything to be proud of.
Meanwhile, I think you should drop the whole 'islet' thing. It makes us think that you don't know how to use a dictionary.
Cheerio,
