What di Tella wanted to offer would have got him and his team lynched in Argentina. At the last minute, they bottled it......... A rather larger chunk of Rifkind's memoirs will be in the Timeline update in around four weeks time.

Aug 08th, 2016 - 09:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What part of “These lslands do not belong to you”, don't you understand?
And so we hear “the Argentines demanded……”
Another RG favourite word, “demanded”.

The Argentine's take on de-colonialism is weird. They always insist that there should be an Argentine governor if they took over the Falklands yet that is a symbol o the f colonialism they pretend to despise. Yet their approach to owning the Falklands is based on colonialism.
