they're now banning boats with falklands flags from putting in at Mercosur ports
Argentina to fly the flag of Las Malvinas at London Olympics
- Thread starter Casually Red
- Start date
Still boarding / blockading the Spanish boats, or was that a one off?
Which led me to ponder: are there any boats flying the Falklands flag - or have they banned the empty set?
Ah: contributors to this discussion say there are 4 Falklands vessels, and 6 flying a Malvinas flag of convenience.

Apols for thick: Is that a dual flag? (Not understanding the convenience)
That, apparently, is a Falklands flag. Nice sheep!
A "flag of convenience" is what shipowners have their boats fly to avoid tax, labour law and safety regulations. Liberia used to have an enormous merchant fleet, on paper, for this reason. www.flagsofconvenience.com offers to register your ship in Mongolia

You are not alone paolo999, the vast majority dont know the history of Britain and Ireland, this board is populated by lots of imperialists and colonialists that care nothing for fair play and justice and as long as they are ok then they dont want to know.

what's the malvinas flag look like? if the argentines have such a yen for the islands they must have rustled up a flag for them.Ah: contributors to this discussion say there are 4 Falklands vessels, and 6 flying a Malvinas flag of convenience.

Not that I can see.
There's a delightfully bonkers blogful of proposals at heraldicaargentina.blogspot.com

fair play and justice? the islanders have been there for 150 years happy to remain British speak English etc. the Argentine couldn't woo them in the 70s invaded in the 80s and (behaved appalling before booted off.)
since have whinged and whinged the British singed a treaty with them in 1999 to cover oil and fishery which Kirchner tore up in a fit of pique and are now attempting a blockade.
The argies wouldnt know fair play or justice if it leapt up and bit them

separate issue, I think. This is just a bit of limp mercosur gesturism. All the boats need to do is run up the union ensign (the blue peter?) instead - which they are legally entitled to do. The UK has already offered to cut Argentina a deal over oil, and there's plenty enough fishing areas for all.

we do know it, you idiot, and in more depth than you, we just have brains to analyse it properly with as well.

So where in the Olympic village are we going to stick the Argies? In with the Iranians?

What (briefly) was the deal and what was the Argentinean response?
I was responding to paolo999 asking about Ireland, as regards Argentina and fair play take a look at the English in three football world cups against Argentina, Michael Owen doing a swallow dive to get a penalty on two different occasions and of course in the English World cup [the world cup was known to the the rest of the world as ''el robo del siglo'' or the robbery of the century] they got the Argentinian captain sent off [Argentina were all about to walk of the field] and the whinging Poms whine about Maradona, you couldnt make it up.fair play and justice? the islanders have been there for 150 years happy to remain British speak English etc. the Argentine couldn't woo them in the 70s invaded in the 80s and (behaved appalling before booted off.)

WTF?
Or aye and what is your considered opinion on the Irish question ?
Ireland is Irish or the colonialists have a right to rule as they see fit ?

there is no irish question, there's only an english question.

Oh god - please don't bring football into it. Actually, do the Eurovison Song contest. We are SO nil points. Ironically - in the context of the thread - we normally only get anything from Ireland. Yep, the people that have the best reason to fucking hate us are our only friends. It's just a song contest though.
Less than fair, you can say that again. some people thought that the English and Germans were collaborating to get the South American teams knocked out, then there was the last minute switch to Wembley so Portugal were not able to play at their home base for the tournie and had to travel overnight and not have chance to train and the there was the Ghost goal in the final that 30 years later due to enhanced technologies they were forced to admit it wasnt a goal.

go and do some research and then post on the subject.
England had one of the strongest voices in world football for years but of course England are now virtually friendless in World football.

Well, yes. Alot of us know what a flag of convenience is (and if we didn't, we do now)
But what's the point of your post? What has changed and why?

we actually signed a deal giving them a %age of all fossil fuel extraction revenues and greater access to fishing waters, but there's a HUGE amount of fishing waters between the Argentine coast and the falklands anyway

Precisely. Everyone remembers the English cheating in the final, but the quarter final was far more blatant robbery. The Argy captain Antonio Rattin, a true gentleman and the hero of Boca Jrs, was sent off simply for speaking to the referee, with whom he shared no common language. The entire Argy team did indeed seem about to walk off, and that is precisely what they should have done.
