Bang goes that whole meme about the UK lacking influence and engagement because of the Falkland Islands.

Financial market is equal to speculation. Speculation is equal to the concentration of income.
I'm starting to feel sorry for Chile and Peru.

@2. Are there any mercosur Chevening scholarships? I can understand your comment. How is it relevant? Does Brazil have any finances? Apart from the corrupt type associated with Petrobras, most Brazilian construction companies, Dilma, Brazilian politicians, Lulu. Considering Brazil's most popular “sport”, who will Lulu be putting a contract on?

Brazil has the mior stock values in Latin America and one of the world's largest. The Brazilian technology is creating for the BRICS a financial institution that will soon replace the SWIFT in financial transfers worldwide. Brazil is creating in partnership with the BRICS a rating agency to replace the US agencies as business assessment tool within the BRICS.

The West will have to commit cannibalism if they want to maintain the status quo because it is more difficult to countries and people who want to support the Western lazy.

Brazilian stock market has been falling like a rock. Petrobras, Brazil’s largest company, with discovering upward of 100 billion barrels of offshore oil, is debt-plagued and struggling — it was recently downgraded to junk status by Moody’s Investors Service. Petrobras has had to sharply cut back investment and sell off assets. (Note: Dilma served as chair of the Petrobras board for several years.)

The top ten listed Brazilian companies on the market have lost an average of 18% in value over the past 7 months.

A text for those who can still think.

United States and European Union are destroying the world. We must stop them before it's too late.

Don’t worry, Brazil is not in the Pacific Alliance nor is any of the booming trade and prosperity likely to spill over into Brazil, and affect your socialist utopian dream world.

“The four economies represent 40% of Latin American GDP; a market of 215 million people; and half of Latin American exports to the rest of the world.”

And where is Mercosur in this?

Nowhere, nada, zilch, shit-out-of-luck, you get the rest.

Brasso. You are the biggest twat who posts here, even POLLY comes up with reasonable posts at times.

The British Embassy in Uruguay have just raised the number of under-graduates that they fund to Oxford / Cambridge for youngsters who show aptitude, intelligence and a drive to succeed.

The annual offer is always oversubscribed and the graduates overwhelmed with their BRITISH education and world-recognised BRITISH degree.

Bras/Toby always provide the most interesting links to “news” services. Ultra left leaning propaganda sites that have articles based on delusions and conspiracies.

To think there's actually nuts that believe this stuff is as scary as it is fascinating.

Yes, the inferiority complex of the younger generation of Argentineans is exactly the kick that Peronism needed to stay alive.

Does Argentina offer the equivalent to anyone, anywhere?

No?

Why not?

Too poor?
Too stoopid?
