Disclaimer & comment rulesPenguin awareness day? So the Anglos are only aware of penguins one day of the year? That explain a lot of things. Poor Warrah. Maybe they would have had a chance had there been at least “one day” back then where they were not cold bloodedly murdered by greedy Anglos.

murdered by greedy Anglos.

Jan 21st, 2015 - 02:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And all those cater to savage Anglo, EUian, and NorthAmoan foreign fiends. Not ONE argie engages in such activities, I don't know of any argie that hunts for fun.
Just like Nisman's gun, foreign. Everything foreign should be banned somehow it is never a positive thing, always negative. Speaks loudly about the rotten societies all these ideas and products come from.
@1, 4. I think you're missing the point. The Falklands doesn't have an argie awareness day. You don't need a particular day to be aware of vermin.
Jan 21st, 2015 - 05:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In argieland, there is no time to hunt penguins. Too busy hunting indigenous people, those who disagree with the 'government', those on the verge of exposing the 'government'. How nice it is for you to confirm your support for murder, cover-ups, lies, brutality, corruption, criminality, degeneracy, larceny, lunacy, mendacity and so forth. I am so looking foward to the year when your cesspit is exposed to the world for what it is. I expect your head to explode. A wonderful, useful by-product.
Oh, do please ban all 'foreign' products. Seen what your 'country' buys? Fuel, computers, heavy machinery, toilet roll etc. etc. etc.
“Penguin Awareness Day”
Jan 21st, 2015 - 05:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0says the useless government of the islets...LOL
“The Falkland Islands is South America’s most important penguin breeding site, but greed and corruption at the very highest level of government has resulted in the loss of over 5 million penguins. When a British biologist, funded by the British government to establish a penguin monitoring programme, began drawing attention to the disaster, he found himself at war with the Falkland Islands Government. For five years Mike Bingham and his family suffered police harassment, death threats, attacks on their property, and attempted deportation.”
“Eventually Bingham took the Falkland Islands Government to the Supreme Court for Human Rights abuse, and won. The Governor, Chief Executive, Attorney General and elected members of Executive Council were ruled to have committed acts of human rights abuse that the Supreme Court described as ”morally and constitutionally indefensible“. This is the story of the Falklands Regime.”

It's not a day where “we are aware” of Penguin's!!
FFS!!!
It's celebrating the awareness that penguins have!!!
You two are about as much use as a turd flavored lollypop. The day is to celebrate the penguin as a sentient being.
Please, try and keep up with the rest of the class.

The total population is estimated to be 2.23 million pairs and is increasing.[3] The largest breeding populations are on Crozet Island, with around 455,000 pairs, 228,000 pairs on the Prince Edward Islands, 240,000–280,000 on the Kerguelen Islands and over 100,000 in the South Georgia archipelago. Macquarie Island has around 70,000 pairs

Why, when you appear a sensible person on all other topics do you have to make yourself look like a cunt on matters to do with the Falklands?
You have been lied to all your life by what passes as a government in your country: do yourself a favour and read some internation books on the subject and learn the truth for yourself.
