Mar 06th, 2015 - 10:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0it is like asking a bunch of squatters if they want to remain in the illegally occupied house.

@2. Two fatuous ignoramuses.
Mar 06th, 2015 - 01:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Article X of the Treaty of Utrecht 1713 ceded Gibraltar to Britain IN PERPETUITY. Given your lack of education and intelligence, that means FOREVER.
Hong Kong had to live with the FACT of a lease and that ceded territory could not, realistically, be supplied. Nevertheless, the British government managed to get China to accept Hong Kong as a Special Administrative Region.
As for Chagos, it's a nothing. Africans, Indians and Malays. Who have received millions in compensation. The problem will be resolved quite soon. Can't have much longer to live!
Wonder how argies justify the millions of indigenous people that they murdered and continue to murder? It used to be with rifles against spears. Now it's poor healthcare, poor diet, targets for federal 'police' and so on. Yep, I saw a report of an 'incident' indigenous child knocked down and killed by a federal cop. When the mother rushed out of her hovel to protest and grieve, the cop shot her. And what cop gets away with, others do as well. And 'incidents' never get reported. Or it's 'suicide time'!
“ As for Chagos, it´s nothing.Africans,Indians and Malays”...Sounds like

The Economist (http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2015/02/european-economy-guide) not only suggests that Spain will grow 1-1.9% but suggests that 12 other countries (including the UK) will grow at >2%.
Not to mention the current unemployment situation...

Mar 06th, 2015 - 04:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and who the fuck cares about a treaty signed by two drunk kings 300 years ago, you imbecile?

Mar 06th, 2015 - 05:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Exactly. The only thing that matters is the right of self-determination which has been given to both Gibraltar and the Falklands by both the United Kingdom and the United Nations.
What certainly doesn't matter are the ~50 year old claims of a modern day wannabe colonial economic basket case of a country to inheritance from their former overlords which was never granted.
Paul the wanker @ No: 2. When you say squatters, do you mean like all the Europeans who fled to the land now called Argentina? I don't remember your Nazi ancestors giving the indigenous people a choice, do you?
Mar 06th, 2015 - 07:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's hard to take a hypocrite seriously, let a lone a complete and utter wank stain.
6@ supports Spain,
Mar 06th, 2015 - 07:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 09@ supports Argentina,
they must be cousins
probably met in the same cell as well.
@9 Mr Wanker, and your sock puppet - by your logic the country you squat in thats existed for about 150 years doesnt belong to you either. Hand it back to the Mapuche who were there for thousands of yesrs long before you useless squatters. They will doubtless make a better job of running it too. Bahahaha
Mar 06th, 2015 - 08:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Top Gear, Top Gear!
Oh, is that like the sort of commitment we have had for the last 340 odd years!
Mar 06th, 2015 - 08:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Spain should learn from their own history.
When your Empire is a shadow of its former self, you tend to hang on to what is left.
@9 Well said Pauly, who cares what happened 300 years ago, just like the events of 1833 don't matter anymore. Argentinian double standards at it's best. LOL
Mar 06th, 2015 - 08:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“The Treaty of Utrecht doesn't matter because that was a long time ago, but the Malvinas belong to Argentina because the British took them from us a long time ago” said the retard Piggy Pauly
By the way, the Argentine garrison was rightly evicted in 1833, but like i said that doesn't matter, ours and Gibraltar's indisputable claims are based on modern principles like self determination and democracy, unlike Argentinas or Spain's.
Argentina or Spain,
Mar 06th, 2015 - 08:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0has not a clue what self determination and democracy
even look like,
that's why Paul and his other CFK poodles just say any old rubbish.

says the pork...lol
lets see if you understand a thing or two, pork
1 argentina exists as an independent (you dont know what the fuck that means, eh?) since 1810.
now do the maths: 2015-1810= 205 years not 150, you retarded pork.
and the mapuches, dear pork, are chilean indigenous.
our beloved indigenous, many of them killed by los mapuches, are the onas, ranqueles, pampas, tehuelches, etc.
porkshite:
history: FLUNK
maths: FLUNK
go back to that joke of community school.
The mapuches are Chilotes? Bahahaha.. Do they have Chilian passports? The Mapuches of that era were wanderers, they were in and out of what you now call Patagonia for hundreds of years before you squatters ever got there. Off you go back to Spain where you can join the 50% unemployed! Or, you could perhaps slither into London, loads of burger flipper vacancies there :-) You might even qualify for a tea boy vacancy at Fosters! You can watch Top Gear on Dave every day then…

Mar 06th, 2015 - 10:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0so we have porkshite who does not know a shite about history and maths, and now capitan pelotudo who does not know a shite about history and geography and logic.
lets see imbecile, the argentine patagonia was inhabited by other indigenous, not the mapuches.
have you ever in your fucking life read something about the expansión mapuche, you illiterate isleter?
how the fuck could they be wanderers when you have...the cordillera de los andes, you retard, with heights of 6000 and 7000 meters?
it was a serie of invasions, you retard, called expansión mapuche and araucanización.
no doubts you are a product of pork stanley community school, no?
LOL
As an RG numbnut you have no knowledge of the history of what you call Patagonia before you all arrived from Latino land! Fortunately we, the British were here hundreds of years before your ancestors slithered in. You are squatters. Your country was only successful when we were running it. Now its chaos! You admit you are the product of a third rate technical school in the sick man of Europe, that qualifies you for tea boy in a minor UK Architectural practice. However we dont want you sullying our scenic and wealthy Falkland Islands.
Mar 06th, 2015 - 10:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@19 Nothing to say about your hypocrisy you idiot? Just admit you are wrong.
Mar 06th, 2015 - 10:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0imbeciles 20/21
Mar 06th, 2015 - 10:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0again you illiterate islanders, you dont know what the fuck the patagonia is, who were the local indigenous in southern and northern patagonia, who were the local indigenous in chile, you dont even know that argentina and chile are limited by one of the tallest cordilleras on earth.
so, you´d better return to your usual tasks of collecting sheep droppings, shoveling guano and stuff.
2015 Gibraltar is British.
Mar 06th, 2015 - 11:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 02015 Falkland Islands are British.
Doesn't matter what Paul or sunshine or Spain or Argentina say or do..... they can't change that fact.
@22 No you retard I was referring to my comment at 15, but I doubt you have anything interesting to say anyway.
Mar 07th, 2015 - 12:50 am - Link - Report abuse 02015 Gibraltar is British.
Mar 07th, 2015 - 01:48 am - Link - Report abuse 02015 Falkland Islands are British.
Nothing any Argentine says, or does, will ever change those facts.
They really can't handle being so unempowered, or being so wrong.
Ahh well! Let them twist in the wind. Fools. The damn fools.

Mar 08th, 2015 - 06:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Do you really think that anyone in the EU, (except a few, rich eco-tourists), cares about Patagonia?
You are so parochicial.
Just so you know, the world does not revolve around Argentina.
I imagine this news, (Noticias), is like living in the 15th Century,.
One day you will discover that the Earth is not Flat, the malvinas do not exist, and that Catholicsism is mere superstitions.

Sr Margallo said he had spoken with Philip Hammond, his UK counterpart.
“He expressed his view I expressed mine,” said Sr Margallo repeating the thesis that the airport was not ceded under Utrecht. He said that Spain could not accept anything that would “recognise British sovereignty” over the isthmus. But he pointed to Basle like agreements between UK and Spain.
“Spain is very willing to look for a solution to this issue…a joint use of the airport by UK and Spain” he declared.
and said the proposal had been well received by EU partners as well as Ukraine
