anyway it is all irrelavant because we have no carriers anymore and no fixed wing aircraft that could take off from a makeshift platform ship !!

exactly !! my brother at the hight of the cold war was on a relations excercise with either east german or soviets soldiers

they got told off on returning for drinking with them in a bar !!

naughty naughty !! we don’t want 5 yrs of hatred brainwashing failing because you actualy talk to some of them and discover deep down they are the same as you !!

Kev.
Like you I find the ongoing sabre rattling rather sad.
However, as I said, as ever I try to separate in my mind the actions of Governments from the actions of ordinary folk.
Although that isn’t always easy. The media love to talk about ‘the French’, ‘The Germans’, or in this case ‘The Argentinians’–all as if they’re a sort of homogenous lump. Looking at our own society, I doubt that state of affairs exists.
Now, every man/woman has a choice, and I suppose the Argentinian soldiers could have mutinied ‘en masse’, but I find it hard to blame the ordinary soldiers (many of whom were young conscripts) for the events of thirty years ago–many of whom no doubt are members of veteran organisations.
As to the current vandalism, whoever carried it out, I condemn them.

A.

governments and millitaries get thier objectives done by brainwashing the young and gullable

what’s the difference of the british government / press promoting ill feeling towards argentina , and the argentinians doing the same to us ???

the leaders stay nice and safe in an office whilst young lads die that have been brainwashed to hate , that would probably happily share a pint with each other but for governments greed and madness

exactly the same as if it was a british war grave !!

leaving politics out of it

they are all someones young sons that did not come back who cannot fight back !!

i understand the ill feeling towards argentina and the politics of it

but the dead are an unfair easy target !!

if they are that upset catch the first plane to argentina spot the first big built bloke and hit him “game on ” and much more sporting !!

wishing you a speedy recovery !!

wouldn’t want to live there either but it nudges in ahead of blackpool !!

Are you allowed to go that fast on L plates?:D

i have driven a 38 ton tractor unit to a 50cc motorcycle and everything inbetween covering bentleys , porsches , ferraris etc etc whilst yes it can be tricky when the blue rinse brigade are out and about in blackpool i follow the guys with the horse and carriage as they have a better view than others and seem to get through the traffic better than the doddery old pensioners !!

Tell you what you go to Fleetwood and tell em they live in the Blackpool area
and I’ll send you some flowers to the ward you end up in at Blackpool Vic Hospital. I know how long it takes to get there from Blackpool it’s 7.4 miles and it takes longer at rush hour, in fact go to St Annes an see what they think of your ill thought out statment, Oh and as for the silly statment of £30.000, that wont buy you a shed in Lytham. It’s zero miles north, are you taking the p%%ss.

30.000 was my personal value not what bozo’s actualy pay !!

no fleetwood is not blackpool but blackpools entertainments and hotels extend into cleveleys , cleveleys is blackpool i have just come back from there today from being with a client for work for 5 days , cleveleys is blackpool in everything but name !! granted it is the slightly quieter side of blackpool but blackpool none the less !!
