Bazj Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Seems the filthy Argie Scum know no morals and have filmed an Olympic promotional video on the Falkland Islands with one of their athletes exercising on a memorial to fallen British Troops.... Personally I would use that very sophisticated warship we have down there to rain death and destruction on their third world country.... but at the very least we should barr them from attending the games.

observer Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Why did they allow him on the Islands in the first place? Going off the film, it seemed to have been made in the early morning when everyone was asleep, but given the current situation, you may have thought someone was on watch?

Evil Sid Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 but WPP, who are the parent company, have their headquarters in London so it could be said that they had a right to film on British soil. A tad embarrassing to say the least to the CEO and a need to have a look into the company that made it and have a few words with the people there.

asperity Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Why did they allow him on the Islands in the first place? I wasn't aware that the Falklands was a restricted area or that war had been declared on Argentina. Having said that, it was a tasteless and provocative stunt typical of their tasteless and provocative president :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Seems a bit ott to tarnish the whole country for the act of 1 person. It wasn't long ago that some bloke was caught peeing on the war memorial in London. Does that make all of us low life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inky pete Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 The atheletes were on the islands ostensibly to compete in the Falklands marathon. And the film crew used was American, so as not to draw attention to what they were really doing. At the very least I'd ban the atheletes concerned from re-entering UK territory - including London for the Olympics. They were taking part in a commercial enterprise when they appeared in the advert so they should have applied for a visa permitting them to work in the UK, they didn't - so they broke our immigration laws and should be barred from the UK for life.

Eagle Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 At the very least I'd ban the atheletes concerned from re-entering UK territory If he is any good they will offer him a place in Team GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleopatra Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I would guess you must be happy that it may be one less foreigner coming to the UK, eh observer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 No probs with "foreigners" visiting this country on time limited visas as tourists; just the illegal and economic migrants chasing dreams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Tessla Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Notice the Spaniards have started the b*******s about Gibralter again, nothing to do with trying to divert attention from their economic problems of course !! Doesn't Spain have enclaves on the Morrocan Coast? If so perhaps they should give those up before mouthing off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
