Get back Margaret !!!

She was good until, she went a bit nutty with the Poll Tax.

The Argies are just looking to distract their citizens from the shit state Argentina is in.

The Falklands have never been a part of Argentina and as long as the sheep-shaggers who live there want to stay British, the UK will defend them.

The abundant fish stocks, huge oil reserves and dibs on the Antarctic have nothing to do with the Brits being down there.

It's all to do with the Islanders want to remain British. Honest.

Margie reminds me a bit of Obama. Almost everyone on the street seemed to hate her, yet when election time came she always won.

The Argentines apparently believe Obama is siding with them against the UK.

Hate to say, but it might be true.

The Argentines apparently believe Obama is siding with them against the UK.

Hate to say, but it might be true.

And that's what the Brits believe. Here's a quote from a columnist in the Daily Telegraph, a large circulation right-of-centre UK paper;


"The Obama administration’s decision to once again slap Britain in the face over the Falklands in the face of strong British objections is yet another insult to America’s closest partner on the world stage. When David Cameron meets with Barack Obama at the White House in July he should strongly object to the State Department’s support for the Argentine position, and make it clear that Washington’s backing for negotiations is deeply unhelpful and unwelcome."

Were I the UK I'd up and pull out of Afghanistan and move those units to the Falklands.

I would sincerely hope that should the shit start flying, Canada would side with the U.K. on this one. The Argentines could use another ass-whipping.

Call of Duty - Falkland Islands...

To hell with that, I want to see:

Call of Duty: Buenos Aires

1982 was playng nice. This time the UK should make it a total smackdown.

What goes 'baaa, baaa, baaa BANG!'

A sheep in the Falklands.

The Argies sowed 100,000+ mines indiscriminately, as in no maps, no planning. About 20,000 have been found and disarmed. The sheep are finding the rest.

Sheep curry is a staple of the Garrison. You just cook up the sauce and wait a bit for a sheep to land your way. Once you get the shrapnel and ball-bearings out it's pretty good.


PS Gunnair. Laughed my arse off at the COD-Falklands.....that would be a fun game though. The Argies put up a better fight than the media give them credit for and their air-force are bloody good and brave pilots.

The RN did a good job, but for all those being chest thumpingly foolish, let's take a reality check. The Argentinians did a lot of damage to a lot of ships. It took quite a while to recover.

[EyeBrock]

The chest thumpers have probably never seen a guy burnt to a crisp after an Exocet strike Gunnair.

People forget that nobody wants peace more than those who have seen war.

Wonder if the uber patriots still want to have their military rush out to a shooting war while they watch it on youtube?
