The Falklands invasion - 40 years ago.

Quote from UK Man

The Brits should have gone further and claimed the mainland as well. The Brits gave them many things which helped make Argentins one of the top five countries in the world. Then the Spanish came along to fuck it up.

Wanting the Falklands to be Argentine is nothing but a joke to be honest.

It's not the Spanish who fucked it up, surely? Peron laid the seeds back in the 40s and the country is now reaping that poison harvest.

I like your suggestion that the Brits should have claimed the mainland which is in fact the premise of my book.

We're all used to seeing Malvinas propaganda all over Argentina, but in the UK it's hard to find either memorials or mentions of the war.

We were in Plymouth last August and saw these three memorials which are rather understated when compared to here.

Quote from serafina

I have seen plenty of stickers and signs on Malvinas here, but these two have caught my eye recently:

Bumper sticker (a bit of a stretch, if you ask me):

A T-shirt worn by a man in Féria de Mataderos that read: “Inglaterra la concha de tu madre” and an image of the islands.

A participant in an English online course whose avatar was Margaret Tatcher was asked about his image choice and then he started babbling something that was hard to hear due to audio quality. I think he eventually left the meeting… and maybe the course entirely

Misguided fools!

I have a Union Jack patch on my motorcycle jacket and am proud of it.
