The problem is not sovereignty, the problem is the racist immigration policy.

If Argentinians are being blocked from immigrating to the islands, then why should Argentina allow any trade???


When Britain stops blocking Argentinian immigration to the islands, then Argentina will stop blocking trade.
It's a shame, as far as I know Argentina actually has quite a few British roots too, there is a large welsh speaking community in Patagonia, I'm sure they'd enjoy a good ol' cuppa and a chin wag with the Falklanders.

Around 81 islanders are of Spanish origin
Around 18 are Japanese
Around 204 are either Chiliean or other.

The island hate Argentina following their illegal occupation of the island back in the 1980s, which to this day has left many beaches and fields off limits. It's nothing to do with what us in the UK think of it all.

I don't think having this on every border to the country is really helping the issue either

This isn't even about just UK and Argentina anymore, This is about Europe thinking they are still colonial masters over all of The Americas. North America, South America, and the Caribbean, Europe should have NOTHING to say to us anymore.

The Western Hemisphere is FREE now, get OVER IT!

The Falklands is in the Southern Hemisphere.

Silly boy the Eastern/Western hemisphere thing doesnt apply to us Brits, we made the damn lines up and are ballsy enough to straddle the divide between East and West. (The Prime Meridian which divides east from west in this man made constrict is in fact the Greenwhich meridian which flows through, yes thats right Greenwich London)

Go look it up, then away to your room wee man and study a little more, you have a nasty wee habit of engaging fingers before brain.

South America is actually more free than north America. Your country is beholden to corporations, and lobbyists, in a way that the left-leaning south of the continent isn't.

Look at the way Grover Norqvist has the congress by the balls, purely on the basis of a pledge he invented when he was ****ing 12 years old.

They are still corporations, and they still get to dictate to your citizens. The Koch brothers funded tea-party prove exactly that.

Those same American corporations ship jobs over seas, and take tax breaks from over seas too. Like John Boehner handing out cheques from the tobacco lobbyists, on the house floor.

The citizens united ruling actually has ****ed your country up even more.

There are none so blind as those that choose not to see.

America is nothing like the ideal of America. You're probably less free now than at any time in your history, and not for the reasons that Glenn Beck and Shaun Klanity tell you either.

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. Ring any bells?

No more division between North America and South America, we are BOTH fed up with Europeans thinking they have any say over our hemisphere. Hillary get's it.

LMFAO @ lostalex.

You are being such a hypocrite. The US "claim" ownership over several Islands that are geographically part of another country.

Navassa Island

Bajo Nuevo Bank

Serranilla Bank

Just to name a few.

Jamaica, Haiti etc. have been fighting for those Islands for years now, but the US won't back down.

Don't say Ar*** that's racist.

and America has a HUGE say in this, because if we decide to defend them... then you stand ZERO chance, you don't realize that??

America decides if you succeed or fail, don't forget that EVER.

Britain is incapable of doing ANYTHING without American support.

Maybe you forgot the whole SUEZ CAnAL Thing??

I'm closing this because it's been a train wreck of a thread, might clean it later and reopen, and lostalex yes you should report posts or use the private appeals section because we can't be watching all the threads all the time, but when you've been just as bad it's pretty rich for you to take a hissy fit over it
