It's clear the UK only uses that policy to prevent Argentinians from free immigration there. There's no reason that the Malvinas should be part of the EU free movement policy. It makes much more sense for it to have a free movement policy with South America than with EUROPE.

If you don't see that well then there's no talking to you. And Argentina has every right to block trade with you. Every nation has every right to choose who it does business with, just like the US and CUBA embargo.

Sorry where are these Malvinas you talk about?

You might think you are being awfully clever going with the Spanish name personally I think it make you look a bit foolish(intentionally mispelt).

Immigration policy for EU countries has been tucked and shaped by EU over the last few years- didnt you realise that? And yes we know the Falkland Islands is in the South Atlantic its one of those strange little anomylies that happens when we you have owned half the world.


Of course they can decide who they want to trade with, just as we can decide we dont want to trade with Argentina, we could also decide to stop giving the Aid packages we give, those arent given on a conditional agreement that they are nice to us, nor are they written in stone.

I wonder how they would feel if we just upsticks and pulled out all businesses and investments we have in Argentina, think we are currently about 6th on their list of overseas investors, should spoil thier economists year.
