The Argentine foreign minister Hector Timerman had a lot to say in London today, here are some excerpts and my comments underneath.
"We have been trying to find a peaceful solution for 180 years. I think the fanatics are not in Buenos Aires [but] maybe in the United Kingdom because they are 14,000km (8,700 miles) away from the islands.
1. Argentina didn't exist 180 years ago, it was part of the Spanish Empire.
He also dismissed the forthcoming referendum - on whether the Islanders want to remain part of the British Overseas Territories - as meaningless.
1. Self determination is meaningless? Tell that to the Bosnians, Kosovans, East Timorese, Scots, Irish, etc.
On a visit to London, he claimed "not one" other nation supported UK sovereignty of the Falklands.
1. The UN has recognized the FALKLANDERS right to choose their own fate.
"If you ask the colonial people who came with a colonial power and replaced the people who were living in the islands, it is like asking the British citizens of the Malvinas Islands if they want to remain British," he said.
1. The islands were uninhabited before the arrival of the British.
2. Argentina itself was settled at the same time, replacing the indigenous people!
"Argentina 'will control Falklands within 20 years"
1. Deluded twat!
