Disclaimer & comment rulesThere has been a solution to the Argentine's obsession with the Falklands. It happened on 1982. Too bad they don't like it !
Jun 16th, 2016 - 09:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0Perhaps argieland would like to step out for Round 2? We have an airbase now. And enough troops (1,200) to hold it while 16 Air Assault Brigade arrives. Transported by the new fleet of RAF Voyager tanker/transports. Refueling squadrons of Typhoons on the way. Coastal bombardments of argieland by warships firing 28 shells per minute. The equivalent of more than three WW2 battleships. Bombardment of the interior by submarines launching cruise missiles.

inhabitants.https://www.academia.edu/17799157/Falklands_-_Some_Relevant_International_Law
All that bollo but no mention of discussions with the ONLY people that count i.e. the Falkland Islanders.
Jun 16th, 2016 - 10:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0I would also like to ask Ms Malcorra how any meaningful discussions can be held with the FI and the UK (if so desired by the Fi's) whilst their 'claim, to sovereignty is enshrined in their constitution.
Equally how does it affect the 'whole of the Southern Hemisphere - perhaps somebody should buy her a map. I assume her lack of knowledge of geography is just another example of the Argentine education system.
Surely the 'interests' of the islanders were made plain in the referendum or is she claiming that the FI's would be 'better off' as a province in the Argentine Southern Hemisphere Co-Prosperity Area
Deluded fantasyland believers the pair of them. Just the same as their predecessors.

Jun 16th, 2016 - 12:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hardly. I live there and can definitely state that ain't true.
“Malcorra said Argentina has reiterated its dialogue position with the UK on all issues relating to the Malvinas Islands, taking into account the interests of the Islands inhabitants and respecting their way of life.”
Jun 16th, 2016 - 01:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Taking into account the interests of the legitimate inhabitants, but not respecting them enough to let them have their say.
Anyone find it a teensy bit contemptuous and arrogant that they're reiterating a claim based on a lie, barely days after the Falklands celebrated their liberation from an illegal invasion and subjugation perpetrated by Argentina?
“We want an open, frank dialogue so as to work in an intense manner on the solution of the longstanding dispute over the Malvinas Islands”.
Yet you're still refusing to accept ICJ arbitration or drop your fake claims, which are the only solutions fair to all involved.
The ICJ is the only international group that has the right to decide sovereignty. If you refuse arbitration, it's not too much of a stretch to believe that it's because you know you'd lose, and a fair outcome would result.
As long as you insist on hiding behind a constitutional amendment made under false pretenses (I wouldn't even attempt to deny that if I were you), there can be no “open, frank dialogue”.
It's not us refusing good-faith, open dialogue.
Totally unfit to hold international public office.
Jun 16th, 2016 - 01:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The only solution that is achievable, fair, morally and ethically correct is unfortunately, one that Ms Malcorra and her minions would not find acceptable. What happens if the Falklands and the UK hold talks with Argentina and tell them the only solution on the table is the one that the Islanders choose, what then Ms Malcorra?.
Jun 16th, 2016 - 03:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What you really mean and the OAS, is to find a peaceful solution for the sovereignty handover. But like the rest of your cronies, you are too scared to actually say what you really mean, as it will highlight the colonial land grabbers that you really are.
If the UK leaves the European Union as a result of the referendum to be held in a few days then any support it has from the Union for its position on the Falkland Islands will disappear. The UK and the Falkland Islands will be on their own.

I suggest you read the above and you might change your mind. The EU has never supported the UK in connection with the Falklands; they refused to recognise the 2013 referendum and both France and Belgium gave support to Argentina during the Falklands war.
Do you really think that a European army, which I understand is on the cards, made up of among others Italians and Spanish, would fight to save the Falklands if it came to another war?
I suggest you take a look at Brexit the Movie which shows what a totally undemocratic mafia style organization is the EU.
Any sensible person and any person who loves democracy and their country (the UK) will be voting OUT. I only wish I could but I've been out of the UK too long.

Jun 16th, 2016 - 07:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina cannot take the interests of the Islanders into account because they are too dumb to work out what they are. As far as Argentina is concerned, the Interests of the islanders are Argentina's interests. Fantasyland, Imperialist delusionalists
Malcorra thanks OAS for continued support

Malcorra? Looks like John Prescott in drag and with the same interlect by the sound of it. Too beligerant and partisan to head up the UN.

Jun 16th, 2016 - 10:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0France supported the UK during the Falklands war, and if the other EU countries wanted the EU army to defend Mayotte, New Caledonia, the Canary Islands, Sint Maarten etc then yes they would have to be willing to defend the Falklands.
Skipi, don't forget Nauru and Manus.

Jun 17th, 2016 - 08:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0Brexit is led by a total buffoon - Boris Johnson, who is was not even born in the UK - he is a native born citizen of the the US of A.
It is amazing that there is little support for Brexit from the great majority of friends of Britain throughout the world, the Australians and Canadians for example. The World Bank is another example.
I have lived and worked in Europe and speak the languages of three of our European comrade countries and I am aware of the esteem in which we are held by the peoples of our fellow members of the EU. I also am proud of having served in the Royal Navy for several years.
Furthermore, the vile assassination of Jo Fox by a clear supporter of Brexit is, in my view, evidence that if Britain leaves the EU then we enter a dangerous and threatening time for democracy in our great country. Brexit is a mistake.
@10. Tell us about the European “support” in 1982. Which EU states continued to supply arms and munitions to argieland? France had to be threatened before it handed over details of the Exocet missiles.
Jun 17th, 2016 - 02:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@12. You should feel sick every time you look in a mirror or, for that matter, wake up. Your comment reveals that you have no integrity. A coward no doubt.
@16. Rubbish. See above for the French actions.
@18. You sound like a commie to me. (European comrade countries). A Putinist. 1700 successful years without Europe is overcome by 40 years of dictatorship, theft, victimisation, is that right?
Here's a bit of info. A number of EU members have exceeded the limits for their deficits ordained by the EU. Britain would be punished immediately if it did such a thing. For France and Portugal, amongst others, a “decision” has been deferred for two years.
The ONLY way is OUT. We have stood alone before. We can stand alone again. The only individuals that support remaining are namby-pamby cowards.

Jun 18th, 2016 - 10:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0Actually the UK *is* one of the countries exceeding the EU limits on deficits. I haven't seen any 'immediate punishment'.
From the EU website it says Euro member states can be punished with fines, and ”In addition, all Member States (except the United Kingdom), could see a suspension of commitments or payments from the EU’s Structural and investment funds.”
http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/economic_governance/sgp/index_en.htm
So the UK actually gets less punishment than other countries according to EU law!
Of course punishing a budget deficit with a fine is pretty stupid idea in the first place, which is probably why they aren't actually doing it.
And you do realise that Nigel Farage is the UK's biggest Putin fanboy right?
@20, 21, 22. As is usual with individuals such as yourselves, you seek to “win” a debate by ad hominem insult.
Jun 19th, 2016 - 01:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@20. I think you mean the local working men's club, don't you? Country clubs tend to be more courteous. I look at your “name” and it makes me think of the Gorn, the vicious reptile in the Star Trek episode “Arena”.
@21. John Nott! Probably the British individual who did most to bring about the Falklands War. Already negotiated aircraft carrier sales (give aways). At the root of the possible withdrawal of HMS Endurance.
@22. I'll lay odds that I have more knowledge and experience than you can ever hope to attain. Do you have some reason for assuming the identity of a dead man?
@24. So the UK opted out of the EU “Prosperity Tax”. Must make you Remainders really “mad”!
Regarding Farage, is he? I thought some Remainder would try a smear. But, if you did some research, you'd learn that he simply appreciated Putin's manoeuvering. A little different from being a “fanboy”. How far are you up the rears of Cameron or Corbyn?

Jun 19th, 2016 - 04:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, probably so but the rest of the cabinet must have agreed...even the Sainted Margaret.
However, that does not detract from the facts. What you are saying is that you have more information about France and the Falklands than someone who was directly involved at Cabinet level.
“He was widely criticised by the Royal Navy chiefs over the 1981 Defence White Paper for his decision to cut back on government naval expenditure during the severe economic recession of the early 1980s; the cuts originally included the proposed scrapping of the Antarctic patrol ship HMS Endurance and the reduction of the Surface Fleet to 50 frigates and from three to two Aircraft Carriers. He switched the resultant savings into nuclear submarines, naval weapon systems and air defence. He announced and took through Parliament the upgrading of the nuclear deterrent to the current Trident system.”

Not hypocritical at all!
“So the UK opted out of the EU “Prosperity Tax”. Must make you Remainders really “mad”!”
Why on earth would it? The point is you were wrong about the UK being treated especially badly by the EU. Generally the reverse is true, and the UK was able to opt out of Schengen and the Eurozone. We have signed up for other things you dislike because our politicians choose to do so.
Farage said Putin was the world leader he most admired, for the way he dealt with Syria (supported dictator Assad and ran a bombing campaign), or really I suppose for showing up America. He's also appeared regularly on RT news which is basically propaganda for the Russian government, and full of crazy conspiracy theories.
The UK will return the Malvinas within 25 years.
