Feb 05th, 2015 - 12:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Check those figures. 1,800 to 1,900 children being monitored. But only 80% of toddlers being monitored. 2,400 defenceless children being ignored by argie 'authorities'. And they're malnourished. Of course they are. 'La Presidente' is busy giving their food away in exchange for military equipment!

OK vestige, where in Britain do people NOT have access to clean water ?
Try something recent and not from the 19th century.
If you've ever traveled to the outer provinces, they're basically feudal states with a large peasant class working on farms. Its like going back in time.

I hope to never see it again.
the followers of the former argentine land robbers, who robbed the land from the indigenious people and put them in poverty and malnutrition and death have a big mouth regarding the falkland/malvinas islands.

Feb 05th, 2015 - 10:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm with Briton here. Please provide a link to any child death in the UK in the past 12 months that was from malnutrition that was caused by neglect from the UK Government, or from polluted water.
Argentina should be ashamed of itself. The people should demand that the government stops throwing away (and stealing) Argentina's resources and concentrate on feeding its own people - and that INCLUDES the Native Amerindians.
What a fucking disgrace, buying ships with food for China whilst their own children are starving to death. This is whilst their president is making pathetic jokes on twitter and pretending to be disabled for sympathy.
