Some Argentine relatives “ were collecting stones ” no doubt stealing the FALKLANDS piece by piece.
Mar 31st, 2018 - 07:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0When are the Argentine going to apologize to the islanders for their illegal invasion on the 2nd April 1982. All of this panders to their belief that they were fighting some sort of holy war. Nearly 36 years ago they did not want to know the veterans or the fallen much less venerate them. Today they are all heroes and the fallen have taken on a near saintly status. They are now martyrs to be avenged at some time in the future. We should not be having anything to do with a nation that wants to force itself upon the islanders, a nation that does not recognize the islanders or their rights.

Apr 04th, 2018 - 11:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0England has no territory called “Malvinas”. There is a “Malvinas Argentinas Partido” in Buenos Aires Province and Malvinas Argentinas, Córdoba, neither of which have any connection to England. However, Spanish penal colonists in South America are welcome to note that England and the English have a history, dating back to at least 1588, of massacring Spanish criminals. And the penal colonists have yet to be held to account for their hundreds of years of crimes against humanity.
England will return the Malvinas within 25 years.
