Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising
Anyone who fancies a laugh should read the piece the new Argentine ambassador has written for today's Torygraph:

Sorry, my mistake, I was more interested in why she even did it

Also it is the wrong newspaper in the first place!
Argentina is fast becoming a parah state now that they have angered Spain (who are with Argentina over the Falkalnds) over YPF

Well, she is the Argentine ambassador, it's her job to make her government's case to Britain. Unfortunately she doesn't seem to have realised that the British media has fairly comprehensively covered the story over the past six months and every British citizen who gives a damn has already gone off and mugged up on it. I doubt there are any aspects of the tale that anyone bothered enough to read her drivel hasn't already seen, heard or read for themselves.
The thing that struck me most about it, though, was it was just so amateurish.

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising
Just read on the press association that a TV advert is running in Argentina showing one of their olympic athletes training on a british war memorial. I'd post a link but I haven't got the hang of copying and pasting on this phone yet. I think they are bang out of order but rather than ban their team I hope we treat this latest attempt at brinkmanship with the contempt it deserves and maintain our dignity

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising
It's just so ... Crass. I can't believe this is what passes for statecraft in Argentina.

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising
On a more emotional note my parents are attending a reunion on the Oriana this morning for a meal and look round in honour of those who got in injured or sadly lost their lives in the Falklands war for seaman who served in The Falklands and my dad was on HMS sheffield when it was hit on that fateful day of the 4th of May 1982 .and l am so glad to have my dad around as he was injured badly in the war and and could of easily drowned.

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising
If Argentine are that bothered then why don;t they boycott the olympics?? Even if they took their South American friends with them it still wouldn't count for many athletes/medals
