Argentina protested to the UK last night over plans by a British company to begin offshore oil exploration in the disputed Falkland Islands.
Desire Petroleum is about to start exploration drilling off the coast of the remote South Atlantic archipelago. Their timetable is unclear.
'What they're doing is illegitimate .. it's a violation of our sovereignty, (FUCK OFF-ED)' Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana told reporters after meeting a senior British Embassy official. 'We will do everything necessary to defend and preserve our rights,' he added. Argentina's Foreign Ministry said in a statement it 'strongly rejects the United Kingdom's intention to authorize energy exploration and production in part of Argentina's continental platform.'
Argentina's Foreign Minister is talking BOLLOCKS. Quite plainly the reason we fought the FALKLANDS WAR where there were over a THOUSAND troops killed was because of the MINERAL RIGHTS. That war made Iraq and Afghanistan look like a picnic. There was no announcing the names of the dead before PMQs like there is now. They wouldn't have had time to go through them all.
Buy what would happen if ARGENTINA invaded the FALKLANDS TOMORROW. What would Jonah McSnot, the World's favourite son do? Would he send troops and if so what troops? Have we even got any ships left? Is there an Aircraft carrier? Would America and the Nobel Peace Prize Winner support Britain or Argentina. You know them where there's OIL INVOLVED! Would the EU and in particular SPAIN support BRITAIN? Where would Brown get the money from, we're bankrupt. Would we have to donate our precious metal to the state for melting down? Would they melt down metal fences for armaments? Would that ARGENTINIAN RESTAURANT IN GLASGOW where you get an amazing steak have to shut down?
GETS YOU THINKING THOUGH!

Well DL, the Labour Government has allowed us all to be disgraced financially so it will be no surprise if we are also shamed militarily and diplomatically.
I have no doubt that we will try to buy the Argies off but if they have any sense they will insist on hard currency not Mr McSnott’s dodgy home made notes.
Stouters, What we should do is to tell the bastards that we're not going to take any shit this time and they start their nonsense again we're going to nuke Buenas Aries. At least that's what a strong government would do. This bunch will let them in to do what they want. The place has cost us a fortune and we need to recoup some money a bit like the way the English have robbed Scoland's oil.
Argentina should have been bombed without us going anywhere near the Falklands - they soon would have come home.
I bet the Falklanders are setting up ack-ack guns and long range weapons to blow up Jonah should he try to visit.
DL,
Down here in Ra Falklands as I write. Don't worry the Argies are no threat and having been to the museum today, Im convinced they have no legitimate claim to the Malvinas; well no more than England has over Scotland.
Unlike 82 there is several 1000 war hardened maniacs couped up here who are battle trained to the max from The Stan an Iraq, Id like to see them try again, this time the reception party will be a fuckin mare for the poorly trained and equipped feckers.
The locals are more hardline than ever and like us Scots they have a right to self determination uner the UN charter, QED not even God can stop that!

Daisy, I'm glad to hear it. I thought that must be the case. But where would Brown get the money from to fight another war? I hope we're going to get some return from the Falklands at some stage because it must be costing us a fortune.
I was glad to hear from you as always as you usually give a different perspective but did you have to post 3 times. I thought I had a bus party in! :-)
Headson, sorry missed you there. Yeh I don't think old Jonah would be welcome in the Falklands, they're bound to be arch-Tories after Maggie's daring deeds. If Jonah landed the island would likely sink!
