Lt Kije Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 If you are a citizen of Argentina, you cannot buy land or property on the Falkland Islands, you might try looking it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 The last unofficial vote taken after the Falklands war showed 94.5% in favour of British rule, Any result less than that will be surprising to say the least. So meaningless as I have already said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 It's for the benefit of the International Community to leave absolutely no doubt what the wishes are of the local population, and put the Argies on the back foot politically. Pity they won't give us a referendum on the EU at the same time! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Well I have no doubt what the wishes of the local population are, and I live over 8000 miles away. It's just a PR stunt and will achieve nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inky pete Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 So we've gone from "the UK stops them living there" to "cannot buy land or property on the Falkland Islands" - and still not a shred of evidence to back up either assertion.

Lt Kije Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 To buy property or land in the Falklands you need "permanent right to remain. http://www.falklands.gov.fk/assembly/documents/236-09.pdf If you had bothered to think about it inky it makes sense, otherwise you would have alot of Argentinions buying property and building houses and when it comes to a vote, the British nationals would loose out. Now inky will you post evidence for your first post on this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Precisely a PR stunt for UN and world consumption - so if we have to sink another Belgrano, we'll have right on our side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Tessla Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Do we have many argie merchant vessels coming into our ports - if so I reckon it's about time we played them at their own game and banned them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Listening to the news reports, it seems this Kerchner woman is using the dispute as a public destraction from Argentina's ecomomic woes; also no doubt, they have their eyes on the possible oil finds in the area - which gives us an even more pragmatic reason for defending them.

Lt Kije Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Obs I agree algy no I am not pro Argentina, I just do not think the vote will acheive anything, we know what the result will be The war was really about what is under the South Atlantic, and the Artic mineral rights. As long as the UK has territory near the Artic we have a claim It would be nice to know where inky got his info from though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
