Falklands Group Reveals Details of the Life of “Veteran of the Malvinas” Alejandro Betts
Alexander Jacob Betts was never exposed to any danger whatsoever from other Falkland Islanders or Britain’s Armed Forces during the 1982 conflict. This has been stated by the Falklands History Group in reference to Betts, who was born in Stanley, and lived in the Islands until the end of the 1982 conflict, but who is now an Argentine citizen.

Well done, Falklands.
Jul 12th, 2015 - 04:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The true account of Betts' sentiments and actions, or lack of actions, needed to be recorded as a reference.
Hopefully, the Argentine media and veteran groups get ahold of this.
Anyone have their email addresses?
It's odd, but I am taken aback at the lack of malvinista on this forum!

Jul 12th, 2015 - 07:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Juan Fangio's body will be exhumed on August 7th, as part of a paternity suit investigation.
And we all know that Biro held a 1938 British Patent for the ballpoint pen BEFORE moving to Argentina, where the government took controlling interest in his company, in exchange for asylum for his family.
Oh, dear...
”“But these (unproven) claims of his have allowed him to portray himself in Argentina as a scholar and high-principled Argentine patriot, when the reality is that he is nothing more than a tool of the Argentine government and its international propaganda”

He took to lying and fraud quick enough, guess he made the right choice in throwing in his lot with the Argies. Square peg in a square hole.
Jul 12th, 2015 - 09:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Wonder if he will dare show his face at the UN again? The Falklands delegation should be prepared to expose him for what he is irrespective of whether he turns up again or not. A question for the C24. “This is the sort of lying toerag that argieland brings along to support its ”claim“. He's lied about what he ”studied“. He's lied about being subject to ”risk“ during the Liberation. He's lied about his reasons for leaving the Falklands. With reference to the judgment of the argie Supreme Court about what activities justify a pension, he's lied and thieved. Does he add anything to the argie ”claim”? He should add total disbelief about argieland. Would any normal state pay out month after month without investigating the basis for a pension? Isn't he actually being paid to come here (New York) and lie?” They could even mention that he has an address on his argie ID that he cannot have lived in since 1982, and that belongs to someone else. It would be an idea to compare him to William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw) and Vidkun Quisling. And mention that Joyce was executed by hanging and Quisling was executed by firing squad.

They only have a short time before the expanding male and female bellies mean that the 2 inch argie cocks can't reach. It's when argie “males” learn about shoving their pointless appendages into rear entry points. And so argies are “queer”. Why dress it up? It's not “gay”, it's queer. Something that no normal human male would do. But argie males like a deep prod into their fundaments. Worth remembering that exterminating perverts means that you get to heaven before the muslim perverts and keep them out. And the difference between argie perverts and islamic jihadist perverts is what...?

Jul 13th, 2015 - 05:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So, now we've got that out of the way, let's get down to dealing with the “obvious” sub-text:
1. How are Islanders “squatters”? You'll have to define the meaning of the word and in what kind of context you mean it.
2. “Illegal occupants”? How is this possible?
3. “Thieves”? What was stolen and from whom?
The problem for you, Paulie, is to stick to facts only.
Shouldn't be too difficult for a clever little guy like you. We've seen so much of your “work” on here, we can all ready guess the shite you are going to come out with.
Heroes don't run away from their families. Heroes aren't guided by their dicks. Heroes are the ones that don't sell out their country.
And last of all: A real hero wouldn't steal money due to real veterans. He is a proven liar, bigamist and coward. This man is by no means a hero, in anyone's book.
If this is the kind of person you idolise, you are an even bigger dick than I thought, but then again, you rarely surprise me Paulie.

The Argentine politicos “running” Betts have no qualms about it, but at election time, you are right - Betts“ veteran status ” will prove to be a political embarrassment for CFK's people - therefore they may suddenly have to distance themselves from him.
Does he get a pension from the UK ?
Filmus has encouraged him not to worry what the press say about him: he (Filmus) supports him.

When I read that being applied to a little turd like Betts I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of my chair. Your 'true hero' over the last 33 years has achieved nothing, fuck all, to help Argentina to achieve it's colonial ambitions in the Falklands and during that time has been defrauding your veterans pension fund. He's been wheeled out by your government as some sort of shining example to us and now we find out that as well as being a turncoat he's a fraud and a crook as well.
Christ! if that little shit's a hero to you then what's your definition of a villain? he'd have to be a veritable mountain of vice.

You don't either as you haven't answered the question-and you have been proved wrong on this many times.
“you are not very bright, are you”
I'll give you this, that's amusing coming from an braindead imbecile like you.
To many hours under a CT scanner have not turned you into an Argentine Joe 90, but have fried your brain instead.
“you dont know the definition of illegal occupants??”
Actually yes, illegal occupants= -Mestivier's men -November 1832 to January 1833 (not forgetting Mestivier was murdered of course!) and your wannabe amigos-landed April 1982-arses kicked out June 1982, (and some of your soldiers were murdered by Argentines, unfortunately Menendez escaped, just your lads who were staked out in icy cold weather, punished for finding food).
You say Betts was a hero-OK smartarse, which Falklands battle did he fight in and how many British soldiers did he kill ?
Real heros=Maurice Davies, Terry Peck, Vernon Steen, Trudi McPhee and the other Islanders I have unforgivably not mentioned-read and learn Paul, read and learn.
Luckily the Islands were only illegally occupied by brain-dead morons for a total of half a year.
@25: No, Paulie, I asked you to stick the facts. I suggest you take The Voice's link ( I know you love those) and read the facts. Not the facts spouted by you and your kind, but the real facts. RGland didn't even exist when the Falkland Islands were populated.
Jul 13th, 2015 - 09:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Squatters”: I know the meaning, but I don't think you do. Well, maybe you do, but you think that by appearing clever, you become clever. Nope, you're still a dick.
Thieves? As in what you tried to do in '82? No one stole a bloody thing from you. I think you ought to get out of Patagonia though, after all the Welsh were there way before you!!!!
You really are a prize cock!
I note you didn't deny what has been said about Alexander Betts. Is he really a hero?
Over to you Paulie.
FACTS!!! Come on. It's too easy. All you have to do is stop reading Government Issue, “we wrote it so it's true” shite and get with the real world and read FACTS.
If you can read, that is. ;-)

Can't help you on that one and as for “a person who occupies land without the consent of the owner of the land or without any other right in law to occupy the land”, back to my comment about the Welsh settlers of Patagonia. There was no one here when these Islands were settled. Vernet asked the British if he could set up a business, but he never settled the Islands. Which is what I think you may be alluding to.
Apart from that, Alex Betts? A hero? Come on, justify what you said.

Jul 14th, 2015 - 12:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ha ha! Another clueless reply from yourself:
“squatter: a person who settles on land or occupies property without title, right, or payment of rent.”
The British did not occupy the Falklands in 1841 without title-their claim went back (settled) to 1765-no Argentines on the Island in 1765 you dimwit.
The British had rights to be on the Island-they did not just turn up from nowhere in 1833 without a valid claim (by then Spain had dropped out and in 1863 saluted the Union Jack in Stanley (not Port Louis which equated to a drop of the claim they had).
Unfortunately, you morons can't tell the difference between Spain and Argentina, two different countries.
Payment of rent-? The Falkland Islanders currently inhabiting FIG housing in the Islands pay their rent.
That's three of your false assertions ground into the dirt and you are unable to disprove my assertions-so rather than waste your precious time-climb back under that CT scanner and fry your brain a little more.
“illegal occupier: a person who occupies land without the consent of the owner of the land or without any other right in law to occupy the land. ”
In 1833 the United Provinces were not the legal owner of the Islands, so the Irishman , Scotsman and South Americans (not forgetting a Jamaican, two Germans and a Frenchman, no English people were left in January 1833)who stayed on didn't need permission from the United Provinces of the River Plate (No Argentina in 1833, pelotudo).
Anyway, the best definition for illegal occupier and/ or squatter is the image of Argentine fascists on the Falklands in 1982.
Lets see, a man who walks out on his pregnant wife and his children to live with his mistress. A man who turns his back on his own people after showing his prior dislike for the Argentine people. A man who stands up in the UN and spouts lies without blushing.
