from the link

Ambassador Alicia Castro said: "Malvinas is not a national cause; it is a regional cause, and a global cause. All South American countries reject the existence of this colonial enclave. Argentina and the region also reject the unilateral British activities to explore and exploit natural resources – that belong to the Argentine people - on our continental shelf."

The Argentina embassy claim her remarks were met with "warm applause" from the 500 people present, including members of the Unite union.

Would that be the British Unite union, or is that my mistake, if its them why would they be there, applaud,
this is a spat that isn't going to go away, perhaps Mr Cameron would like to have a few words with them to spell it out plain and simple, our position on the Falklands, or would that be too much to ask.

Why is this a breach of international law?

How is it different from the US embargo of Cuba?

[naomi24]

Tora, sorry for the interruption but .....

Jake, your avatar is in particularly poor taste. Seeing Jimmy Savile's face every time you contribute to AB makes me feel sick.

[jake-the-peg]

Seeing Maggies makes me feel quite similar Naomi

Anything to contribute to the Falklands question?

[naomi24]

Jake, that really is a pitiful answer. What message are you trying to convey with that avatar?

[youngmafbog]

Hm, perhaps not the best of Avatars. Be interesting to see if yours is banned like TTT's was. Comparing Maggie to Jimmy Saville???

TTT, No the UJN wont do a thing.

[emmie]

then why not just have Mrs T picture or is it to reinforce the idea that Mrs T was friends with this man, i suspect that is the point of your avatar,

[youngmafbog]

Yes, and lets not forget Jakes luvvie buddies at the BBC cosied up to him, even though they knew what he was up to whereas it is very doubtful Maggie would have any inkling like the rest of us that were duped.

Jake will of course conveniently ignore this little fact !!

But if he wishes to use it, it is a free country and it just shows him for what he is.

[emmie]

i think it's to make the point that she was friends with him, a vile man, but apart from the close people to him, and some at the BBC, knew of his proclivities, Mrs T would have seen him as a charity worker.
some just like to stretch a point, to what end i don't know.

Argentina should mind it's own business

[naomi24]

Chewn, whether people are fans of Thatcher or not is irrelevant. A picture of Savile (whoever he’s pictured with) used as an avatar is tasteless in the extreme. Sickening!

[emmie]

so you know this how?, if those who knew him well and didn't say anything would they have told the PM - it's only come to light the full extent of the man's activities, and the worms are still coming out of the woodwork.
this has nothing at all to do with being a fan of Mrs T, there are some on here who actively hated her, so be it, but to reinforce her photo with a paedophile seems a stretch too far.

[naomi24]

Chewn, And you know that - how? That's a serious allegation. However, I've made my point, and my apologies to Tora for disrupting his thread. I would simply ask Jake to re-think his appalling avatar. It does his intellect no favours.

[emmie]

same reason they go on about her associations with Pinochet, because they hated her, see what i am getting at. If i were to put an avatar up of
Blair and Gadaffi, would that be right, who was after all a mass murderer.

[emmie]

then please show us evidence she knew he was a serial paedophile.

[naomi24]

Back to the subject. I wonder how the Argentine government proposes to implement this law?
