    “what it’s like to live and work so far from our home base in the UK”.

    Of course Mr Mike Green, you are very far from the United Kingdom because you are in a land that does not belong to you.
    Then they complain about the mention that the Argentine Constitution makes about the Malvinas Islands, while the United Kingdom constantly introduces changes violating all the provisions and recommendations of the international community.
    A country that claims to defend democracy and laws but refuses to negotiate with Argentina.
    Since 1833 you have not been able to negotiate with Argentina because you all know that you are in a usurped land.

    Stop lying , stop crying, stop moaning, the land is not stolen, it was British before you existed as a country, no negotiations necessary, self determination over rules any pathetic weak claim you have and number 2 only one outcome is acceptable to clowns like you, and that is never going to happen, Britain violates nothing, the rest of the world has no interest in your nonsense, finally you are nothing more than a sad troll. now go and play with the toys Santa brought you, and leave conversations and debates to adults,

    Poor old Malvinense 1833 has really got the blues.
    Can't ever accept tgat his country has a mythical claim over our British islands.
    Sugest you take another look at real history.
    Argentina did not exist in 1765 did they.
    They have been trying to land grab these islands for years.
    You will never succeed. We have constitutional rights that are enshrine in the United nations.

    He knows he has wasted his life on a pack of lies and it hurts like hell, how anyone could have believed the Military Junta in the first place beggars belief, but they did, now slowly but surely many Argentines now have realised it was indeed a loud of crap, a few thousand fanatics and so called war veterans who didnt even want to be on the islands and where desperate to go home keep the fantasy lie going, it achieves nothing, meanwhile the Falklands continue to prosper, the population keeps growing, the standard of living is high, Malvi has gone from a reasonable debater to full blown troll, which is really sad as he was the only Argentine that had and sense, Falklands independence 2033,

    Malvi,

    Could you tell us more about “the provisions and recommendations of the international community” that are being violated?

    Which provisions? How does one “violate” a recommendation?


    “A country that claims to defend democracy and laws but refuses to negotiate with Argentina.”

    Can you explain more clearly why refusing to give Argentina what it wants shows the UK is anti-democracy?

    The Falkland Islanders do not want to discuss transfer of sovereignty of the Falkland Islands.

    You are ridiculous to argue this shows the UK is not really a pro-democracy nation.

    Argentina, however, has taken land from Paraguay and Chile. Therefore, Argentina is not really pro-democracy.

    Makes sense, right?
