   A village in Kenya is missing its ‘f**king retard’? (as Rahm would say)

5. Oh the irony, the shit I got from what was then my fellow countrymen when I said he was a racist america hating marxist, however be fair I doubt many in England, for obvious reasons have a clue about your brilliant constitution (in need or some restoration now) I only read up on it after reading a great book called “The Unseen Hand”
   I now live in Canada and to me, Obama is a puffed up little south of the border socialist dictator.  Also for the record this was a dead cert to happen, this falls into the democrats ABU drilling holy edicts (any but us)
   Funny thing is the USA had the islands to start with, then came the Englash who settled there and screwed sheep, America gave them to us, then came a failing dictator who “liberated “ what was never theirs to start with, just a ploy to appease the population, he got his ass kicked, now comes oil and a feckless UK government, who would not get permisssion from their EU overlords to protect themselves anyway so the argies see it as stealing candy from a baby (also the spanish, the “s” in pigs, will side with the argies, again, but then they are cowards anyway.

6. I have mixed feelings on this issue. I don’t have any time for Obama but I was living in the US in 1982 and well remember what went on then. Fortunately Reagan and Al Haig (RIP) were pro Margaret Thatcher and provided a lot diplomatic support and background military aid. However the support from the US government as a whole was lukewarm at best.

   The US doesn’t like what it sees as British imperial adventures. Cast your mind back to Suez to see how the US government shafted Britain in the past. So I am not surprised that there is little support in the US with a Democrat President and Democrat controlled House and Senate now.

   What I think adds insult to injury is the support given to the Argies by Caribbean island governments who are recipients of British aid. I trust this situation will be looked at by the next government.

   I am surprised that Labour are standing up to Argentina. Had they been in power in 1982 the islands would now be in Argentinian hands. It was after all Labour who did nothing when Argentina illegally occupied Southern Thule in 1978. If anything it gave encouragement to them. Then Labour in 1998 managed to piss off Chile, our only real ally in South America by arresting Pinochet.
   
   Fortunately the last Conservative governmemt had the foresight to lengthen the runway and build up the air defences. Though one destroyer and four Typhoons would not deter a serious invasion effort. However a nuclear hunter killer sub might well make them think twice, especially after the Belgrano incident.

7. Chris,

   Funny thing is the USA had the islands to start with…

   This piqued my interest and I did a little research.

   From Wikipedia:

   Since their discovery, the Falkland Islands have had a complex history. France, Britain, Spain, and Argentina have all claimed possession at some time, and have established and abandoned settlements on the islands. The Falklands Crisis of 1770 was nearly the cause of a war between a Franco-Spanish Alliance and Britain. Argentina took over and continued the Spanish government’s claim after its declaration of independence in 1816 and the independence war in 1817. The American sloop USS Lexington destroyed the Argentine settlement at Port Louis on 28 December 1831, and the United Kingdom returned to the islands in 1833. Argentina has continued to claim sovereignty over the islands, and in 1982 a military junta used the dispute as a pretext to invade and briefly occupy the islands. A United Kingdom task force defeated the occupying troops and returned the islands to British control in the two-month-long Falklands War.

   Emphasis added.

   That’s the only US reference. When exactly did the USA have the Falklands?

8. Christopher, wickpedia is political, anyone with time on their hands can edit it, the Falklands is political too,try this link
   http://www.falklands.info/history/history1.html as it says the only link to the spanish is nonsense, colonial bullshit, the brits have the genuine claim, the yanks were criminals, but have a less bad claim than the argies. The brit gov (socialist at the time) acted shabby and gave the mythical argie claim some traction.
   Given that the socialists have scrapped any way of defending the islands and that the EU is a crock of yellow belly shit I expect a bad outcome.
