Disclaimer & comment rulesWhy would we want regular flights to import a load of dirty covid-ridden Argies into the Falklands and ruin the glorious 40th anniversary of our Liberation? What's wrong Ferny, are you running out of lies to tell your people about why you can't access “your” land for your tasteless monkey dictatorship's annual celebration of invading a peaceful country to try and steal it back from 150 years of peaceful settlement? You and kentucky fried batface are just as bad and mad as Poo Tin.

However.
Kurepi Planters: Go F*ck Yourselves!!!
Springs to mind.
The pressure is mounting. Just four months to the victory celebrations and Argentina has not been able to railroad our plans.
Mar 02nd, 2022 - 11:36 am - Link - Report abuse +5If our elected government respects the islanders they will not contemplate any restarting of flights that include Argentina.
The Argentines have since 1999 abused the islanders in every way by visiting here on the pretences that they are visiting their war dead when really they are spying on us and then using that info in their propaganda campaigns against us.
The reality is that Argentina says we dont exist yet they want Britain to give them access.
I say we do exist and our MLA,s should uphold our rights to exist and tell the British Government that we run the Falkland islands affairs and that untill Argentina drops its claim and recognises us as a people, Argentina can go to hell.
Our country has survived these past two years without Argentine interference so it is proof that we dont need them.
As for international flights, is it not time that the international air authorities told Argentina they have no right to control over flights that deny only the Falkland islands such passage.
We should not give into their demands period unless these changes are made.
I Agree with “Falklands-Free”, the Islands MLA`s should use the Flight to get concessions from the Argentine Regime and Definitely No Flights this Year !! if the Islanders want to avoid any Hassle from Argentine Visitors.
Mar 02nd, 2022 - 11:54 am - Link - Report abuse +1I don't think any of us are really enthusiastic about having them visit before June 14th. They're bad enough tourists any other time, so this year they would be a royal pain in the a***. Sure, we've missed the tourist dollar but Argentines rarely spend much when they are here anyway. And the disrespect they show for our memorials is remarkable. I say we wait for a bit.
Mar 02nd, 2022 - 11:57 am - Link - Report abuse +2A compromise solution would be have flights that didn't stop in Argentina.

Why should flights between the South American mainland and the Falkland Islands be operated by Argentine airlines?? Most South Americans living on the islands are Chilean, and the Islanders are, for obvious reasons, not so interested in going to Argentina.
