    I didn’t find it pointless. The meetings held during the minister’s short visit were worth while for him and us. He’s attending the chainsaw massacre inauguration shortly in BA. Imagine the mileage you deadbeats would all try to make of it if he hadn’t been here first.

    I found him to be full of sincerity when delivering his speech at the reception and afterwards during the conversation I had with him. Another decent man made of the same stuff as Lindsey Hoyle.

    What are the official languages spoken in Brazil, French Guiana, Suriname and Guyana most of the Caribbean, Belize as well as the Falklands?

    Except of course, the Islanders have no real sovereign right to the Islands, came to the islands unlawfully, and have zero right to have any decisive say over a territorial dispute that concerns London and Buenos Aires . But ... other than that, no one is denying their feelings or their own personal right to have a homeland or a country. The problem is that cannot be the Malvinas Islands until Argentina and Britain resolve their conflict over said archipelago.
    .
    Clearly history however has constantly shown simple and logical facts such as this has never stopped countries with military expansionist ambitions to USE MISS EDUCATED PEOPLE for the purposes of substantiating their supposed reasons, and pick bullish fights they feel certain are capable of winning in order to have their way against those that won't have the capacity to defend themselves from their thieving will.

    A world of thieving liars is what we are.

    Pat, the Islanders have all the rights.

    Only they can decide their future.

    Argentina is irrelevant.

    The matter was settled long ago - 1989. When Menem withdrew the question from the General Assembly of the United Nations.

    Yes Trimonde, Argentina are a bunch of thieves and liars,, they stole the whole of Southern Argentina from the natives and lie through their teeth about the Falklands, clearly history has shown what the implanted stock of white people have done on the whole of the American mainland continent, lied cheated Pillaged raped murdered and stolen, often with the backing of men in dresses praying to an invisible man in the sky,

    The politest answer to your dribble is that it bears no resemblance to actual fact.

    They stole all of Argentina from the natives, who they put to the sword in the process.

    But this appears to be ‘legal’, to TitMond.

    ‘pick bullish fights they feel certain are capable of winning in order to have their way against those that won't have the capacity to defend themselves from their thieving will.’

    Err, like the conquest of the Desert and ‘a handful of savages’?
