Corbyn & Cabinet in the Media

[nino_savatte]

Thing is its all one way the Argentinans threw away the last attempt at building bridges the islanders have zero confidence in them and the Uk goverment needs nothing from argentina.

Uk has right and might on its side argentina can whine impotently to the UN its not on the security council so it doesnt count.
Uk offered to take the case to the international court several times argentina refused that as it knows its case is bullshit

Thanks for that one-sided narrative.

Isn't it odd how we can afford to keep our occupation of the Falklands going, the residents there must be the biggest welfare recipients in Britain, but can't afford not to harass the disabled and unemployed

 

[Jeff Robinson]

In an exchange with Corbyn, David fucking Cameron derisively dismisses homeless refugees in Calais as 'a bunch of migrants' and his merry band of over-privileged psychopaths jeer in delight. Still I suppose it's an improvement on calling them a 'swarm' like he did last year. Just when you think you can't hate them anymore:

Corbyn v Cameron at PMQs: was 'bunch of migrants' jibe intentional?

Well its less than 2% of the defence budget and its not like there'd be a peace dividend from a company of soldiers and 4 jets being redeployed

Well the other version was we are brave anti imperialist who threw off the evil spanish throne and were denined are rights to las malvinas that the pope gave to the spanish so its totally ours.
Regardless at the time argentina consisted of brunos aires and its suburbs as we hadnt finished murdering are way down to patagonia and importing a lot more white people to make argentina white.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Wants and says he wants -two very different things. Playing the shell game over Trident policy (where do the pro trident lot get an input now?) and that apparent on the hoof announcement of no dividends for companies not paying the living wage...if it suits him he'll ride roughshod over democracy.

Except that he hasn't yet, and there's no evidence - besides the febrile imaginings of the media and the maquis - that he will impose a three line whip on the Parliamentary Labour Party on any such issues. Even his Trident comments were personal appeals, not whipping. Show me evidence, and I'll give your opinions credence. Otherwise, you're just playing with words, the same as Stephen Bush.

its nothing like 2% of the defence budget, the costs are infitesimal in real terms. hiring some sealift every six months, a charter for a once a week flight - that takes paying passengers at £2k a pop - thats it.

I can't take this stuff seriously. Do you actually know anything about the history of Las Malvinas or are you in possession of an FCO approved version?

Trident shell game wasn't words it was a shell game. X says yes, so we'll have x and -x look at it, then get rid of x, and have -x and -y look at it.
He has no say on the timing of the debate so they won't report in time, Tories will have it in March to stir up max difficulty for Holyrood elections, as there is no current policy, can't be a 3 line whip, so another free vote with Corbyn encouraging members to pester individual MP's, which sounds like democracy, but I'm not sure it is. Idealist's can get worked up, quite hard to be passionate about "necessary evil".
The other example, which ignored Eagle, admittedly from the Spectator, but the counter was "not policy just a suggestion" tends to agree she wasn't consulted, so more attempted bouncing, this time against the woman tasked with coming up with policy.

Granted NU Labour more than likely have had the table rigged so the left will have to come up with work around's some of which will make things democratic, a good thing (on balance).

Its the falklands proto argentines had two attempts at colonisation both pretty unsuccseful
First one wiped out by the US 2nd velmets had permission form the British and when challenged by the british after he tried claiming the islands gave up without a fight the majority of settlers choosing to stay.

So since 1833 its been in british hands

Unless you have some alternative version where argentines were massacred and are kpet as slaves in the treacle mines argentina gave up its claim a lomg time ago.

I assumed he meant pelmets - the yanks notoriously erected a narrow border of cloth around the Falklands, to hide their fixtures and fittings

Frankly I have real problems understanding what Likesfish means a lot of the time. He persists in spelling "our" as "are" which is confusing and annoying at the same time.

I've really offended your sense of political correctness, haven't I?

Your last sentence is rather hilarious as it presumes you're the only one in possession of the facts. Get a grip.

Tell me, how do you feel about the Chagossians? Did you get this uptight when they were forcibly removed from their homes to make way for a US airbase? How about Rockall?

What are US 2nd Velmets?

My country right or wrong, eh?

They are not in Britain of course, but if they had been brought here instead of spending millions re-building the airstrip on the Falklands, we could have made them millionaires by spending the same money on the few thousand Islanders.

What we can know, I think, with a pretty high amount of certainty, is this: If the Falkland Islanders had been black, the racist Margaret Thatcher would not have started a war in their name.

Her words: they were 'of British tradition and stock'

translation: They were white.

That's a mental reading. She would have done the same no matter what.

I don't believe that for one second. 2,000 poor black people on a remote Indian Ocean island, say, that nobody had heard of, and who weren't even British citizens? Nah.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

Hold on, what are we talking about? This is another diversion from Corbyn and cabinet in the media. Let's get back to the main topic.

You're just believing what you want to believe at this point.

Rubbish. It (war) had nothing to do with the inhabitants of the islands.

 

[binka]

And you have an argument? Go on, let's see it.

My argument has been written. I don't think it's right to forcibly remove people from the land they've called home for generations. What's your argument again? Oh yeah 'fuck em'

It certainly has nothing to do with Corbyn and Cabinet in the Media, the title of this thread.

so if you had your way what's now poland would be full of germans.
