They can complain all they want , even celebrate every day of the year, even do their own name changing thing and it wont make a blind bit of differance. We are forever British and that's the end of it.
The Falkland Islands already have names and we intend to continue using them.

Poor old Taenk really gets really sarcastic when a genuine born and bred Islander (indigenous) has a say. Always refers to British implanted.
Mar 31st, 2022 - 09:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He could not be further from the truth.
There are over sixty differant nationalities living and integrating on the islands who all came here by their own free choice. They are not chained and are free to come and go as they please. Do happens they have decided to make it their home and raise their own families.
But it is quite interesting how Taenk accuses us of being implanted when every Argentine was an implanted person by the Spanish, but that's ok because they dont recognise that fact.

Anyone interested in what the UN says about the Falklands system of government?
https://falklandstimeline.files.wordpress.com/2022/03/un-working-paper-falklands-2022.pdf
” A chief executive is appointed by the Governor in agreement with the Executive Council to serve as head of the public service to implement policy. Questions of policy are considered by the Executive Council, which consists of three members of the Legislative Assembly who
are elected annually from their own numbers, in addition to two ex officio members, the Chief Executive and the Financial Secretary, who have no voting rights. The Attorney General and the Commander of British Forces in the Islands have the right to attend meetings of the Executive Council but not to vote. The Governor, who is appointed by the United Kingdom, has ultimate responsibility for matters including external affairs, defence, internal security (including the police) and the administration of justice. Under the terms of the Constitution, the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly, may make laws for the peace, order and good governance of the Territory, while full power to make such laws is reserved for the British Crown. In addition, the British Parliament has unlimited power to make laws for all its overseas territories.”

The only pirates in the area were from :

Including David Jewett, and Louis Vernet
Think- I ,mentioned Cruise Missiles as your numpties in TDF called what the RAF has here- Missiles- they are as you know- -short range self-defence ground launched anti-aircraft missiles - not what one nomally calls missiles- ie the offensive ones.

Apr 01st, 2022 - 04:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Since Argentina has twice used undeclared military interventions, contrary to international law. Their message is abundantly clear, if you should recommence such activity; you’re going to get severely spanked. Seems to be a pretty effective deterrent, in keeping the area peaceful.
Funny. Argentina, an immature, inexperienced child, went against the grand master of war.

See Trimonde is here. Wonder if he has managed to answer my questions to him on another thread. The one with all the crap yet hides behind his mother's skirt when afraid to answer questions.
Apr 02nd, 2022 - 01:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0yes Trimonde....failed recovery operation....
Apr 02nd, 2022 - 07:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 092 days in 1832
73 days in 1982
The sum total of Argentine occupation of the islands.
Admittedly the 1832 number is dubious as the crew of the Sarandi murdered the governor, Mestevier and then raped his wife in front of their children, so does that count as Argentine occupation without a governor...? Ask your academic friends....
hehehe
Monkeymongrel, The islands were already Argentine from the moment Spain laid claim to the uninhabited archipelago several years before it or England set foot on them. It is Britain who has never seized wanting to take them, to this very day through each one of its actions, by now using an installed political shield population and by always exploiting their defenseless predicament, bulling around the place its presumptuous contemptuousness for others. If you had a clear grasp of the island's entire history in any normal human global capacity, and you were not a fascist blinded by selfish self centered narcissistic ill-patriotism, you would understand this.
Apr 03rd, 2022 - 08:41 am - Link - Report abuse -2Trimonde , you are off again on your fantasy world order. Spain never claimed any part if the Islands. It was France who had the first settlement in the place known as Port Louis at the same time Britain was established at Port Egmont.
Apr 03rd, 2022 - 10:08 am - Link - Report abuse +2France and Britain were at odds and eventually France decided to leave. They however tried to get one over the British by offering the settlement at Port Louis to Spain. Not the entire Falklands as you think.
Then Argentina years , even decades later wanted independence from Spain who at first for many years ignored you.
You then finally got independence and assumed you also got the islands.
History shows there was no gift of the islands to Argentina at all. So as I have been asking you on other threads, give me the absolute written verified proof that Spain handed the islands to Argentina. Remember that Spain never actually ever owned the islands and technically neither did the french. Their occupation was brief and in defiance of Britains claim in 1592.
So produce the legal document otherwise shut to hell up.because you are talking a load if crap.
“Now using an installed political shield population”
Apr 03rd, 2022 - 10:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0There was an Island population long before there was a UN Charter predicating self -determination.
“UN Charter; DECLARATION REGARDING NON-SELF-GOVERNING TERRITORIES; Article 73; Members of the United Nations which have or assume responsibilities for ..peoples have not yet attained .. self-government recognize the principle ..b. to develop self-government, ...” October 16th,1975 The ICJ presents its advisory opinion on two questions concerning Western Sahara; “The validity of the principle of self-determination, defined as the need to pay regard to the freely expressed will of peoples, ...” The Court also states; “The Charter of the United Nations, in Article 1, paragraph 2, indicates, as one of the purposes of the United Nations: “To develop friendly relations among nations based on ...the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples . .” This purpose is further developed in Articles 55 and 56 of the Charter. ...the subsequent development of international law in regard to non-self-governing territories, as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, made the principle of self-determination applicable to all of them”
Judge Dillard, .. adds; “ .. it is for the people to determine the destiny of the territory and not the territory the destiny of the people.”
I'll answer both, but I'm not going dwell on something you should already know by now. Why do you think France yielded to Spain's rights to the islands by turning in their settlement to Spain for a modest symbolic sum of money? Why do you think Spain later had to fight the British off the islands in 1771? Spain, unlike England, was not about attacking and robbing territories from other Empires. That was Britain who was always going after Spanish colonies all over the continent, Jamaica and other places in the Caribbean, Central America, Hawaii, Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Malvinas included. This part of the world had already been claimed by Spain and Portugal, plus England also had agreed through treaty to not lay claim to any adjacent islands off South America. They were Argentinian not because Spain needed to “officially bequeath them”. Did Spain officially bequeath Buenos Aires to the Argentinians? Malvinas had been incorporated in 1776 to the administration of the La Plata Vice Royalty whose capital was Buenos Aires, later they continued as part of Buenos Aires in the United Provinces. Argentina came into independence with the islands already part of its jurisdiction. Clearly you have both been educated by the voice of the British narrative, one which seeks to extract all aspects that even remotely tie the islands to anything that can be seen as Argentine legitimacy in its claim, and, you are very well versed in it I see. Too bad its merely partially, very partially true.
Apr 03rd, 2022 - 02:21 pm - Link - Report abuse -1Concerning the United Nations, it was Britain's idea to list the “situation with Argentina” in the group of non self governing territories, not Argentina's idea. And there's a reason for that. A cheating reason. Britain defined the conflict with Argentina as its own situation regarding the Falklands, and in doing so cleverly eclipsed to territorial dispute with Argentina with a normal colonized territory situation, which it is not. The Islanders are not colonized, they are British people.
“Why do you think France yielded to Spain's rights to the islands”
Apr 03rd, 2022 - 02:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Apparently due to the Pacto de Familia, which means Spain’s claim is later than the UK’s.
“This part of the world had already been claimed by Spain and Portugal”
Whatever the Pope and a couple of his parishioners agreed too, has no
bearing on other parties.
“Eclipsed to territorial dispute with Argentina”
Sorry bud no such thing now or ever, under international law.
Trimonde you sure can make a lot of stuff up. You need to publish said documents of ownership by Spain in 1776 which clearly states that the Falkland islands was included in these claims . Then go on to explain why the French occupied them then offered to sell them to Spain. If Spain already owned them they had jo need to buy them.so somewhere your interpretation is rather off the mark. But then we expect that from you.

Apr 03rd, 2022 - 03:04 pm - Link - Report abuse +1You are talking nonsense. I know the islands total history very well.
Spain landed in Mexico too...why is that not part of Argentina? How about Madrid? Do you claim that?
The Spanish inhabitants of the islands left via Uruguay, not Argentina....odd if they are Argentine? By your logic the islands are Uruguayan...hand them over...hehehe
Spain claimed Texas....is that Argentina.
I knew once the 1832 farce was proven a lie, you'd move to the equally ludicrous “inherited from Spain” farce. What about South Georgia....Spain was never there!
So, no inheritance from Spain...no 1833 ursurpation...want to go onto the next fantasy around Vernet? Or are you done?
I will laugh at “Spain didnt go round stealing others land for their Empire” for a very long time.
Chuckle.
