    I wanted the people of the Malvinas to lose this vote. I think being administered by a collapsing South American State with a heavily made up laughing skull as El Presidente would serve them right for being so hideously British and white.

    Buy my books please.

      Dear True Face of Labour,

      It is ‘La Presidenta’, don’t be sexist in your use of the colonial Spanish oppressor’s language, re-education sessions for you.

      Fraternal Regards,

      Dame Harriet Harperson, Peoples’ Commissar for Equality.

        I am full of remorse for my bourgeois error comrade – I will work even harder to make other peoples lives a misery in order to make restitution for this heinous crime against wimmin.

        I would also like to stand and take the opportunity to say I think you should be El Presidenta of this still-hideously white country which has not yet been fully diversified. I will work tirelessly towards that golden dawn.

        Buy my books please.

            They are just over subsidised scroungers.

            They are not even British. They are Falklanders.

            If any group of scroungers have a referendum to say they are British, do we have to support them?

            How much is this costing?
            Stop this nonsense and vote UKIP.

            Flemming was quite an interesting guy, I’m more impressed with his ideas on war surgery. However, he did cock up the discovery of penicillin.

            What about Logie Baird. Didnt really invent the television did he?

    And yet the British people are denied a referendum on whether we want to be ruled by an equally corrupt morally bankrupt monster called Brussels. And the vague promises of a referendum in 2017/18 is a load of crap, if Cameron was serious he would set one up to coincide with the EU elections in 2014. But then again Cameron has always crowed about how loyal he is to Brussels and the idea of political union and direct rule from Brussels, does it seem remotely likely that a supporter of Brussels and the EU would allow the UK to leave the EU let alone offer a vote?

      You miss the point. There is vast oil wealth under the Falklands -soon to be exploited. The Falklands are likely to repay us handsomely for our protection.

      Why else do you think the Argentine Christina, who has run her country into penury, worse even than gordon did to us, wants the islands? Nothing to do with her dodgy grasp of history , just plain greed.

          There’s enough oil under antarctica to power the world for another thousand years.

            I Don’t know if it’s a thousand years, but there’s certainly enough to power the world for 300 years in existing reserves. Frankly, if we are still dependent on fossil fuels by then, we will deserve to go back to the dark ages.

    When will we English get a parliament of our own so we can have votes on what we think is best for us without intereference from people from other nations – ie. Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland? Until we get one we are denied the self-determination the Falklands people enjoy. Rights enjoyed by people all round the world but not the English.
    It would be good to see some international figure ask Cameron why he denies the English a parliament and a exclusive vote on their own future.

    What are we to make of the fact that the leader of the free world, Obama, says he wants Britain and Argentina to negotiate over the islands, completely ignoring the referendum results.

    Since the British claim to the Falklands pre-dates both the foundation of the USA and Argentina, perhaps he would encourage American Indians in both countries to have a referendum to see if they want all the European settlers in those countries to return.

    It seems to me that the Malouines belong to the French

    France established a colony at Port St. Louis, on East Falkland’s Berkeley Sound coast in 1764. The French name Îles Malouines was given to the islands – malouin being the adjective for the Breton port of Saint-Malo. The Spanish name Islas Malvinas is a translation of the French name of Îles Malouines.

    Wiki

    “In 1765, Capt. John Byron, who was unaware the French had established Port Saint Louis on East Falkland, explored Saunders Island around West Falkland. After discovering a natural harbour, he named the area Port Egmont and claimed the islands for Britain on the grounds of prior discovery. The next year Captain John MacBride established a permanent British settlement at Port Egmont.”

Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…

“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”
