    Argies Use Olympics as Propaganda

    Are there any depths the Argies wont sink to? They have no moral high ground. Never have and never will. Their claim over the Falklands is a farce. They claim we are colonizers yet they want to colonize the islands just because they are closer to Argentina. Its pathetic.

    It's just a bit pathetic really.

    And to be honest, it's a good reflection of their current government. For all of our governments sins, at least they haven't tried to distract us by revamping a claim to Calais or anything so ridiculous.

    And a couple of months on, I still have yet to hear a compelling case against my idea of bombing the coast of Argentina.

    Quite low (down the medals table), as it turns out.

    GBR (4): 19G, 13S, 15B; 47 total.
    ARG (35): Rank 35: 2G, 0S, 4B; 6 total.

    From the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.

    :ahee:

    Aside from the link not working for me, the fact you've sourced it from The Sun is reason enough to wonder what this is all about.

    That B**** is just trying to win populist votes. She won the election because of her looks, in all honesty. Whenever a leader rally's up foreign policy activity, they always win a second term.

    What's funny is that the Argentinian population are the result of Spanish Imperialism.

    The Argentinian government will spout any rhetoric to take their electorate's mind off domestic issues and concentrating them on the Falklands in a bid to win votes as seeing the persevere of being a force for good in the name of Argentinian sovereignty.

    How did this prick even get there? Regardless, ban the Argentine team because of this state commissioned advert and because of their revamped, wining bull**** recently.
