Falklands Referendum

[scotttswan]

You gotta love the BBCs forced 'blananced' views. Read the post by "
Anon, Port Stanley resident"


Hahha totally made up

Maybe its Alejandro Betts, 5th/6th generation falklander who Argentina wheel out at the un decolonisation meetings.

He helped the invading force pointing the finger at various people and then left the islands with the Argentine army abandoning his second wife and kids in the Falklands so he could take up with an Argentine woman.

I never knew him, but I did know his Chilean wife, and I can't much blame him for wanting to escape her. There's often a great deal of personal in the political. His daughter by his first marriage still lives in the Falklands, and she's a delightful person.

Such a coincidence! There is a slightly similar road sign in Port Stanley!

Is this really true?
That the Malvinas War Memorial appears to have been abandoned?

AGAIN, LOOK AT THE MAP AND TELL ME HOW THOSE ISLANDS BELONG TO THE UK

Look at a map and tell me, how Tenerife and the Canary Islands belong to Spain, how Hawaii belongs to the US, how the Galapagos Islands belong to Ecuador, how Guernsey and Jersey belong to the UK, (long list cut short) and why Greenland doesn't belong to Canada, why the Faeroe Islands don't belong to the UK, (another long list cut short).

Thats why I said "practically" and also talked oh the recognition the mapuches have from this government (ley de pueblos originarios) unlike the chilean government (they were in both sides of the cordillera).
