It's the Falklands Islanders that should be complaining to the UN about Argentinas bullying of them!

Well Cameron should tell this Argie bitch to "Calm down dear, put the kettle on and make us a cup of tea."

What DC needs is comendere a British own plane and fly it between Chile and the Falklands and call it an "Aid flight", screw there ban.

Time to boycott Argentine goods in the UK? Their wine, meats etc? I think so.

They are just bullies.

looks like boycotting the wines is a good idea, they export a lot according to this:

The General Belgrano, an Argentine cruiser, was sunk during the Falklands War on May 2 1982.

Seems Argentina, is trying to play a war of names and words at the moment.

I wonder what would happen if the island was given to the islanders? Assuming that's even possible.

Then they could decide their own future and run their own affairs.

True, but that's unlikely.. Argentina is using political methods to bully the Falklands and the UK.

Maybe you could build a super airport in the south atlantic Alan, that could be used as a hub for Waitrose. ;)

A few polytunnels ought to sort most of that out. Perhaps a scaled down version of the Eden Project to provide them with bananas and the like.... :)

On a serious note a recent Countryfile from the Outer Hebrides, which has a similar climate to the Falkland Isles, was showing experimental methods of crop production in similar bleak conditions.

Obviously any crops that can be home produced would help along the sheep, penguin and fish diet.

Sorry, I wasn't quite sure. :)



If the oil becomes a viable resource then I'm sure they'll be able to grow much more produce on the islands. After all Iceland experimented in growing bananas using geothermal heating and greenhouses.*
