May 05th, 2016 - 05:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0If Malcorra wants to do some confidence building on the “Malvinas Issue” then she will find a lot more of her audience in Port Stanley rather than wasting everybodys time in London.
May 05th, 2016 - 06:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0How strange that the article said 'and again pointed out that ”Argentina is open to talk to everybody“' Last time I heard the RG government wouldn't talk to the Falkland Island Government which means there won't be any shift in the current position. The Falklands will remain British and the Malvinas will still be a mythical place.

Ps...:

Ooops!
Just another Rift to develop between the two countries. Clumsy weasel words in an attempt to disguise the real intent. One of those MOU efforts so popular in some quarters.
May 05th, 2016 - 08:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Actually I have no issue with Malcorra. I find her quite competent and feel sorry that she still has to represent the Malvinas Myth, but am thankful that it is deprioritised.
May 05th, 2016 - 09:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Even this government is beholden to a stupid constitution. They just don't let it overrule the country's interests.

“Pending issue”?? Argentina has been saying that - with gaps - since 1833.
May 05th, 2016 - 10:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0Must be getting rather dog-eared by now. LOL
The present RG regime has to give lip service to the myth if they want to stay in power.
May 05th, 2016 - 10:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0Otherwise would be a bit like an Australian politician saying 'Gallipoli? It was 100 years ago... we lost... get over it...'
Not going to happen...
No time for these people. we should now be putting pressure on Argentina to stop with this silly nonsensical claim They need us and our friends to get their county back on track and that should be made very plain to them that unless they put pen to paper revoking every single word of the claim. Or they can carry on wallowing in the same kind of crap they have been wallowing in for the past 70 years with help from us who can make it even worse for them.
May 05th, 2016 - 10:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0”Argentina is open to talk to everybody“' - except Falkland Islanders as they don't really exist - a non-people who do not have the right to self-determination - apparently
May 05th, 2016 - 10:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0If she brings up the matter of the Falklands/Malvinas on the occasion of her visit to London she should be directed immediately and politely to the self governing British Overseas Territory a couple of hours flight to the south east from Bs As.

Please use the correct terminology.
It's for internal consumption, she can say whatever she wants to in terms of what she would like to discuss. But in reality she will probably insert a sentence somewhere, to someone and say they had a very constructive discussion with a view to moving forward. None of which will be reported or minuted by anyone else but the official Arg. Gov. press. Just to keep the sheep happy.
May 05th, 2016 - 12:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@4 Tinkle, you misquoted me again. Shame on you.
May 05th, 2016 - 01:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And you persist in most other errors as well. How very argie of you.
”Argentina is open to talk to everybody“
May 05th, 2016 - 02:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Is pretty unequivocal.
Thus they will be up for talking to the duly elected representatives of the people of the Falkland Islands.
Again worth reminding folks that the UN recognizes the right of self determination as fundamental and this applies to any people or Population , they use the term interchangeably.
discussions we are going to hold, but I'm not forecasting anything spectacular,
May 05th, 2016 - 07:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0who are they holding talks with,
what are they hoping for,
why not take it to the ICJ,
or do they really believe they are going to come away from Britain with billions in trade deals and the Falkland's thrown in for good measure,
they are even more deluded than CFK was.
The UK will return the Malvinas within 25 years.
May 06th, 2016 - 12:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0Good to hear Hepatia. As it will still be 25 years next year I guess the Falkland Islanders can sleep easily.

May 06th, 2016 - 08:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Same old, same old. The trouble with all these malvinas Muppets is that they present what they want to happen as fact. But that fits in with the overall malvinas myth. Once they started telling fibs there was no turning back.
How would Argentina feel if a neighbouring country declared that Argentina belonged to them, gave it a different name, tried to use force to gain control of it and then continued to harass, embargo, bad mouth and try and delegitimise the Argentine people and their right to exist?
Then they would have a right to complain.
One problem there ...

I Think that...:
If a non-neighbouring country declared that a part of Argentina belonged to them..., gave it a different name..., used force to gain control of it and then continued to harass, embargo **, bad mouth and tried to delegitimise the Argentinean people and their right to exist..., Argentina would fee exactlyl as it feels today about our Malvinas Islands...

The malvinazi-fixation might be a “pending issue.” But my impression, from a distance, is that there is no clinic in London for such derangement.

Actually, there are/were several spellings. The original was Goorka.

After the Independence of India the Indian Army Gurkha units changed to use the old spelling “Gorkha.”

Now you have done it. Don't even Think about mentioning thhe Kukri - Oops whats that smell?
May 10th, 2016 - 10:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0An old Mercopiss story on Gurkhas and Argies in 1982 . There have been other stories in the Argie press about the terror in some of their units on hearing that the Gurkhas were “heading” for them. Good psyops, actually.

Have they located the secret grave with the thousand Gurkhas buried in it yet ?
May 11th, 2016 - 03:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@49 I seem to recall comments that the Gurkhas were monumentally annoyed that they were not allowed to take part in combat operations on land during the Falklands war. But that doesn't keep the Argentine rumour mill from the usual flights of fancy. I heard one argie say that the Gurkhas were sent ahead of the other UK units as carne de cañon when assaulting argie strongpoints because the “ingleses” were too cowardly to do so on their own.
May 11th, 2016 - 06:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The argies went so far as to develop and distribute to their media a list of the names of Gurkhas that were supposedly killed in the war but never recognised by the UK casualty numbers. A closer look at the Nepalese-sounding names reveals that they are things like place-names in North Korea and the Philippines, and the Nepalese themselves can't seem to identify any unaccounted-for Gurkhas. Fits in nicely with the argie claims that they sunk the carrier Invincible and discovered oil on the moon.
The argie capacity for invention in story-telling, whether in military matters or economic statistics, is certainly greater than their war-fighting prowess.
“Fits in nicely with the argie claims that they sunk the carrier Invincible”
May 12th, 2016 - 12:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Like the Super Gauchos that were supposed to be sent to the Islands to combat the Ghurkas. Corned Beef Kate said they had longer knives than the Ghurkas-must be true, a mate of mine heard her calling the task force to urge our 'brave boys' to turn back or be massacred by the Super Gauchos.
My theory is that the Super Gauchos wanted to go but Galteiri didn't give them horses that could swim across to the Islands.
Argentina: the North Korea of South America.
