Jul 18th, 2015 - 10:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0CFK works her witches curse.
Watch them work this to the nth degree
Jul 18th, 2015 - 10:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0The agreements should be 1/ Chubut given back to Wales.
2/'Argentinian' Patagonia given back to Chile
2/ TdF given back to the Falklands
Then- in the North - Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brasil can have their turn reducing the not very united provinces back to what they should be... a crappy little encampment of ratbags on the banks of the Riachuelo (which was the reason BA is where it is in the first place....)
I trust First Minister Jones will be warmly received when he pulls up in his official Jag. By the way it's an old G-reg - full plate is: G O TCHA

@4 Haha.
Jul 18th, 2015 - 11:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentines are such amateurs in the diplomatic game; so easily flattered.
So Buzzi has to repeat the Kirchner propaganda that Alicia Castro has done a fantastic job arranging for the Falklands to be handed over to blessed Argentina. Quite evidently Buzzi does not move in diplomatic circles in London where Castro is regarded as an absolute embarrassment, so much so that at government functions she is left fuming on the sidelines, the Buenos Aires pariah. Keep up the good work, Alicia. You are doing a wonderful job reinforcing the United Kingdom's resolve and commitment to keeping the Falklands free and independent.
Jul 18th, 2015 - 01:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Think - Hope you do get the chance to meet the Welsh Govt First minister - but keep to the agenda of why he is in Chubut!
Jul 18th, 2015 - 02:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you attempt to raise the F and M issue - expect a dusty answer- remember a lot of Welshmen fought and died for our right to choose our own Govt 33 years ago.
Have a good party - and I wouldn't mind a welshcake if any left over!
So the Welsh hanger-on is coming to celebrate 150 years of argies in a so called Welsh Community.
Jul 18th, 2015 - 05:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They are Argentine! End off.
Far to many leaks...lol
Jul 18th, 2015 - 06:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Question. Are these supposed Welsh, migrants, cowards, traitors, ignorant wankers or what? Let's take a look. Definitely migrants. Just like the spaniards. Just like those people that settled the Falkland Islands. Patagonia didn't belong to argieland when the Welsh landed. They had good relations with the indigenous people. Is there a record of resistance to the United Provinces scum? Nope. Cowards. Did they have any “values”? Not so's you'd notice. Did they fight with their indigenous allies? Traitors. Does being an ignorant wanker excuse your crimes? In reality, the Welsh First Minister should take the opportunity to disassociate Wales from these argies. More argie lies. They aren't Welsh.
Jul 18th, 2015 - 07:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And perhaps the Welsh minister would like to raise the subject of the Genocide of the Desert when the Argentinians slaughtered thousands of indigenous Indians in Patagonia. And he should also discuss the shameful and disgusting treatment of Indians in Northern Argentina. Corruptina Kirchner loves to portray herself as the great champion of human rights, squawking and shrieking about the horrors perpetrated on defenceless nations by her bogey countries, the United Kingdom and United States. Interesting, then, how she refuses to face up to the rape, enslavement and starvation of the Qom and Wichi indigenous peoples in Argentina.
Jul 18th, 2015 - 08:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0These have been treated like animals ever since the end of the War of the Triple Alliance in 1870 when Argentina annexed huge tracts of the Chaco from Paraguay, creating the provinces of Formosa and Misiones out of the stolen Paraguayan land.
The elected leader of the Qom, Félix Díaz, is now demanding basic human rights and the return of his people’s ancestral lands.
He and a band of supporters have taken their battle for justice to Buenos Aires where they are camping in the city centre.
So how does Kirchner respond, that woman of great principle, that self-acclaimed humanitarian, that fighter for social justice?
She ignores Díaz, refuses to meet him and sends riot police in the middle of the night in a thwarted attempt to evict him.
In 2011 her government backed a vote by the 50,000 Qom community to choose a representative for negotiations on the land dispute. Díaz won in an 80 percent landslide but Kirchner refuses to accept the result. As far as she is concerned, the overwhelming support he received did not happen.
She pretends the Qom problem does not exist.
Well, it does.
Instead of wasting millions of dollars brainwashing the Argentinian people into believing they have any sort of claim to the Falklands, which they don’t, Corruptina cannot hide from her own territorial disputes at home. And these are not just festering in Paragua
I hope the idiots don't bring flags with them and start to claim gardens in Cubut.

Sounds reasonable. applying Argentine logic
@4Lol-hope that is true....

“So the Welsh hanger-on is coming to celebrate 150 years of argies in a so called Welsh Community.

His party may not do so well in the Welsh elections, so a last stab at 'glory'
Typical Argentine screwed up mind set=
They are and want to be Argentine so let's call them Welsh instead.
The Falkland Islanders want to be British so let's insist they are Argentine instead.
What's the betting that Carwyn Jones will be asked to praise the Welsh Argentines that fought for the losing side in 1982, and will they be presented with more medals?
Come across this,
