Disclaimer & comment rulesThey never cease to surprise do they ? A miserable failure by a thoroughly disgraced and discredited government , a rusting rotting hulk abandoned since the war - so let's make it a National Monument ! A very fitting monument perhaps ? A monument that perfectly portrays a failed nation, whose citizens have consistently been betrayed by their leaders who have squandered the enormous natural wealth of the country. Yes, a useless, unsafe, rotting hulk is a very fitting National Monument.

Actually, I think it would be a marvelous monument to display the ignoble condition of their once menacing great navy — which today is a national disgrace!

You have to remember! This ship must be toppled in honor of the lives given to this meaningless conflict.

Malvinas are part of Argentina! This is not Calais!
Yep, the ship looks about ready to ‘topple’ all right.

UK diplomatic note to the UN, 27/1/2012
‘British sovereignty over the Falkland Islands dates back to 1765, some years before the Republic of Argentina even existed’.
‘The Islands have never legitimately been administered by, or formed part of, the sovereign territory of the Republic of Argentina’.
By the way, how far is it from Portugal to Brazil???
And Calais is French these days.
Well, at least you can see her. The British need glass bottom boats to see their ship from the Falklands war
