They can place that on display along with all their other illegitimate claims.
Up with the fairies again!

A friend of mine here in Uruguay told me that when a workman tells you he will be there “Mañana en la mañana” it means “When hell freezes over”. I think this “legitimate occupant” will not be arriving until mañana en la mañana.

Feb 26th, 2022 - 12:24 pm - Link - Report abuse +2Always some new “interesting” stunts. What could they more “invent”? Appoint a “mayor” of “Puerto Argentino” (well paid for his non-work of course)? Issue number-plates for the vehicles on the F.I.? Build up a “shadow administration” for the Islands, sitting in Ushuaia issuing non-enforceable ordinances?
Feb 26th, 2022 - 01:56 pm - Link - Report abuse +2We are “Narnia”? Your country has royal pageantry and ridiculously adorned rituals being replicated since the16th century beyond even what Disneyland comes up with, of exorbitant costs, with jeweled crowns and rigidly impractical uniforms costing millions of euros which are absurdly too heavy to wear, weddings funerals and coronations that could forever feed the hungry and homeless children of Africa and Latin America combined! All while you dump every year millions of dollars into keeping the world at war, fascinated by the latest civilization killing weaponry your society's culture comes up with, still thinking of yourselves as a “Royal Empire” with more right to the world than anyone else! Oh, but “we” are Narnia! LOL LOL LOL LOL TRY AGAIN! lol lol lol

Feb 26th, 2022 - 04:57 pm - Link - Report abuse +4We are reminded that over 55 percent of the children in Argen-Narnia are currently living in poverty. Perhaps the monies spent on the phony Mock Malvinas Madness could be better spent on feeding its own.
Likely won't happen since the nARnia peso is crashing towards nothingness and inflation there in going to be well over 50 percent this year.
Better start learning the Mandarin of your new masters.

Feb 26th, 2022 - 10:37 pm - Link - Report abuse +3It is unfair to call Argentina “Narnia”.
If you follow the work of CS Lewis, Argentina is more like Charn than Narnia
“The early Emperors and Empresses of Charn were kind and decent, but through the passage of the centuries, their lineage devolved into one of malevolence, corruption, evil, and despair, seeing their subjects only as a means to an end”.
You are one of those “subjects” Trimonde, used by successive Peronist governments as a useful idio to parrot their propaganda as Argentina slumps further and further down the world league of GDP.
but of course if only you had the Falkands all would be better!!! LOL!
Monkeymagic, Trimonde doesn't read Lewis, he's too busy rereading Peron's old speeches. He seems rather like the subject of The Screwtape Letters.

Much of Argentina, especially in the southern part, there are descendants of English, Welsh, Irish, Scottish, for many years.
It must be remembered that many Argentine successes are also due to their collaboration, the English presence in the islands has given rise to development, conservation, so many rare virtues unobtainable throughout South America.
It is necessary to meditate on these details, for the empty bench could be a good idea invite to the same Council Members of the current government of the island to give lessons on how to govern a Country.
I can't imagine better management other than the current one, honestly. The golden years of Argentina was rich in the English presence and their collaboration, since 1982 we have lost the compass.
