    Ha ha.

    I bet even the trade union for Latino Spic dairy farmers didn’t expect to see such a mad cow. No wonder nobody trusts Argentina. Definitely several paddocks short of a farm.

    As usual CFK completely unrespectful towards the nitwits who in this case comprised this EUROLAT meeting which is a complete waste of time and money in the first place. Just an “outing” for those involved at no doubt their respective country's expense.

    The least she should have done is welcome those present and avoid turning the opening ceremony into a political arena for her to air her gripes against those with whom she is at logger-heads. Or say the President of the Republic and all those who are doing their best to take her to court to judge her on the corrupt actions she has been involved in, over the years.

    A sure sign of desperation to avoid being condemned for her ilegsl actions, as no doubt she rightly should be.

    Not to forget...

    Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary General of the UN said he said, during an interview with the newspaper Tiempo Argentino.

    Asked about Britain's lack of response to UN resolutions, Ban Ki-moon said: “I don't think the permanent members of the Security Council are violating relevant UN resolutions. The impression is that people living under those conditions should be able to obtain a certain level of capabilities so that they can decide on their own future. And this is the main criterion of the main organs of the United Nations. Achieve independence or have a certain government of their territories. I don't think that is an issue of abuse or violation of relevant UN resolutions” (For Ban Ki-moon, the kelpers should be able to “decide on their future” La Nacion, Argentina, 11 Nov 2012).

    Sometimes I wonder if the crazy cow believes a word she spews.

    The Falklands have never been part of Argentina. So territorial integrity is a complete nonsense.

    It is true that Spain had a colony on the islands, and when that colony failed, the Spanish people left and returned to Spain via Montevideo.

    It is also true that the Spanish colony was administered from Buenos Aires (much as Aden was administered from Bombay as a British colony).

    It is also true that Luis Vernet in 1828 set up a business on the islands in 1828, recognising competing claims on the islands asked both Britain and Argentina for permission. Its true he voluntarily left the islands.

    Its true in October 1832 Mestevier arrived on the SS Sarandi and claimed the islands for Argentina. Sadly, he was murdered by his own crew and his wife raped in front of their children.

    Finally it is true that the rapists and murderers (26 of them) were evicted by Captain Onslow of the HMS Clio in Jan 1833, and a thriving successful population have lived there ever since.

    Of all the Atlantic islanders, the territorial integrity question of the Falklands is simplest. They belong to the islanders.

    Missis K; ”because since we are coherent, we respect the principle of territorial integrity, across the whole planet“. Oef-Oef, Has K. something missed when she went to middle school about the country from the respectful man: Daila Lama? What we see here again, as often again and again, there where the money/power comes died the moral!
