Enemy does not have the moral fibre for a stand up fight. With an SSN and T45 on station there is nothing they can do. The RAF's contribution will keep their ancient aircraft at at bay. ...Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough... You are not. Not even close. All we have to do is enlarge the cemeteries or just dig up the whole lot and dump all it in the sea. They should have been buried at sea in first place is which what the Navy was willing to do or return them to Argentina. If the enemy did not want them that shows what little respect they have for their own people.

Those pix of Sean, Christina and Jose looks like they were taken on Graduation Day from the drug rehab centre.

Indeed!

The Argies couldn't give a toss about the Falklands, even if they were situated just three miles off their coast - this is about oil pie, pure and simple, and Kirchner wants a slice of it!

So, if Britain offered them the Islands, but on condition that all the fishing & oil rights remained under British control, they'd go for it? I wonder...

I think Supplebottom inferred the exact opposite, that if we handed over the natural resources they would be more than pleased for us to retain 'title' to the islands!

Not in the unusual situation of it being our oil to start with!

Who is Sean Penn and is he important?
Exactly my friend.

The Yanks can spout to us Brits about the Falklands when they remember why they claim Hawaii as a US State. Nuff said!

Sean Penn should be fed to crocodiles for saying Britain is "colonialist, ludicrous and archaic" over the Falkland Islands, Ben Fogle has said on (something that rhymes with hit her), challenging the star to a public debate.

Falklands: Sean Penn should be fed to crocodiles says Ben Fogle - Telegraph



Well, I never expected a response like this from the littel Fogle but, I must say, credit where its due, nice to see a Brit with balls, even if his voice is a little higher pitched than one would have liked.

Well done Ben!



Ben, this is for you from my personal collection (my earlier days and indeed when I was still alive!). A small thank you for being willing to defend our honour.

Actually, what we need are smileys that can be seen!



I rest my case.

Thank you for the Wilkinson link, that got me, particularly how he made contact with the fellow in the Skyhawk.

The Fool is now in Bolivia!



Sean "The Fool" Penn becoming best friends with Bolivian President Evo Morales as he confirms to Latin America what they knew all along - that Britain is the source of all evil on Earth!



Sean "The Fool" Penn with Argentina's Social Development Minister Alicia Kirchner. O' you didn't know? Yes, the political landscape is very closely knit down there (a bit incestuous at times in fact)!
