OMG we agree.

The Falklands is as much about national pride as oil. We'll have a Conservative government soon and you can rest assured we'll not hesitate to send the fleet in again if need be.

Oh no! Not Venezuela. We must be ****ting ourselves now. "Look, England, how long are you going to be in Las Malvinas? Queen of England, I'm talking to you," said Mr Chavez. "The time for empires are over, haven't you noticed? Return the Malvinas to the Argentine people." Still addressing the Queen, he went on: "The English are still threatening Argentina. Things have changed. We are no longer in 1982. If conflict breaks out, be sure Argentina will not be alone like it was back then."

And I suppose you'll be saying we should give Gibraltar to the Spaniards next.

We claimed these islands in 1690 long before the Spanish and the foundation of Agentina.

Good old Wiki.

Ha Ha, i did wonder if i'd got that wrong. I meant Corsica.

If you watch this wonderfully stirring video you will see that all of Britains remaining colonies are British because the people want to remain under the protection of the crown. I say all, but you could question this point concerning the BIOT's, but i don't want to talk about that.

I thought I read on a thread that you were a History teacher! I'll give a little lesson. Britons are the only people ever to inhabit the Islands. They have never been home to what you would call natives. They were at one time under spanish dominion, but never have they been Argentinian territory. The only claim Argentina has on the Islands is proximity, so presumably on that basis the Channel islands should be French, Alaska should be either canadian or Russian, and Sardinia Italian etc etc. If you are going to argue a point at least know your history on the subject.

And why is Britain up to it's eyeballs in debt after a decade of prosperity built on the back of the Major Governments policies? Where did all the money go? Browns tax tax tax and spend spend spend policies during the good times left the cupboard bare! Britain should be coming out of this recession in a strong position with years of surplus reserves to call on, but alas Prudence Brown spent all the money. Gordon brown would make a perfect CEO at Pompey!

It's a good job she did defend Britains colonial rights in the South Atlatic given the oil reserves we are soon to exploit! We have recently sent extra warships to the region because of Argentinian threats so Labour presumably agree with defending the territory. As for the railways I think you'll find they are considerably better now than they were before privatisation.

Precisely. Unprofitable mines had been propped up by the Socialists. Therefore the subsequent strikes were a direct result of the Socialists not dealing with the problem. Thank god we had Maggie come in and sort the mess out.

Duncan and his cronies must have holidays booked.

You're giving up because you know full well i've hit the nail on the head.

That's the best thing about the whole Pompey mess. You'll have absolutely nothing to show for your brief forray into the top flight.

You're having a laugh. New Labour is no different to the Socialism of old. Tax and spend - Tax and waste - that's Socialism for you. Just look at all the bone idle slobs that live on benefits as a life choice - that's good old fashoned Socialism for you. Rewarding the idle and taxing the workers is what you Socialist lot are all about.

The Tories have never claimed the mantel of being the robin hood of politics. Wheras Socialism is based on taking from the rich to give to the poor. Denhams comfy chairs hardly fit in well with the fake principles of the Labour Party. He's no different to "Two Jags". He's a typically two faced Socialist.

Shock horror - a Socialist sticks up for the dinosaur union. The simple fact is that your Socialist lot have created a nation built on a benefits culture, with a tax and waste ethos. All roads lead to Gordon "bully boy" Brown. Strikes are like potholes in the road - the first sign of a banana republic, and isn't it uncanny how they always pop up on the back of a period of Socialist rule.

It's a shame he didn't display such principles with his expenses claims.

Considering the number of games we've played this season our support really is fantastic.

It was the fact HE said it. You don't get a nickname like "Two Jags" for nothing!

Corp Ho is a Legend.

Let me think.... Gordon Brown, John Prescott, Ed Balls, Robin Cook, Matey with the guide dog etc. Man for man Labour certainly have the most mutants.

Presumably Fratton park is Old Kent Road, and Leigh Park is Whitechapel.

The fact Cameron "disowned" him while bully boy Brown hasn't disowned that fat oaf Prescott speaks volumes about the Socialists.
