All smoke and mirrors. The old distraction ploy, so beloved of banana republics.

Pau is a clever politician.
He knows that if he is friendly with the Falklands the UK Government will treat him well.
And at the same time, the Argentine government will insult him, making him look good with his Uruguayan friends.
He doesn't need anything from Argentina at the moment.
Exactly. Uruguayans must look across the river with a certain amount of schadenfreude.

To be honest, I didn't know that they are eligible for workers' benefits. Are they?
Anyway, I was thinking of the benefits of everyday living in Argentina that we sometimes forget about when we are grumbling about so much else. Just imagine, a low-cost flight into Buenos Aires for a spot of shopping; a fairly-reasonably-priced air connection to just about anywhere else in the world; shops, the arts, the culture and to top it all, warm, friendly people (they are not all politicians, after all). Etc. Etc. I reckon that having all that freely available on your doorstep, the two societies might naturally draw more closely together within a couple of generations.
I agree that most Argentines are kind and very warm people and I daresay that most Argentine visitors to the islands are welcomed warmly.
It's simply a political football that Peronists love to kick about, forgetting that the UK left the field of play 40 years ago, declaring game over.

The Argentine foreign office is most upset with the British Embassy for the competition it's running for a student to visit the islands, spouting the same old 1833 and illegal colonisation bullshit.

Some Argentines still believe that HMS Invincible was sunk by Exocet missiles during the war, but how odd that footage exists of her returning triumphantly to Portsmouth in September 1982.

The main picture in black and white is of another ship altogether - the USS Wasp.
The facts:

The twat in charge of Falklands propaganda is Mr Fail himself, aka, Daniel Filmus who spends his life losing elections but brown noses all the important people.
I was in the south of BA today, saw this and had to take a snap. Notice to the right of the sign? That's how the Falklands would look like under Argentine rule and probably much worse.
Stanley would probably end up as a villa. Imagine that?

Only because he thought he had to. Yawn.
Argentine president again claims the Falklands before the UN General Assembly

Yes, I think that's the logical conclusion. Like the profusion of t-shirts on the streets of BsAs with the Union Jack. What's with that?
Precisely...
I have a Union Jack patch on my motorbike jacket and believe me, I've had one or two very accusing looks.

A case of double standards, don't you think?

I picked up a Kirchner era piece of Malvinas school propaganda at a car boot sale on Sunday, which perfectly illustrates how kids have this stuff rammed down their throats from very early ages. Las Malvinas son Argentinas and Argentina for ever, except for a small detail indicated in the picture below.
y todas...
