Now just to get Martin to realize that the other things are to do with oil too...
The supply is not infinite. Best regards, Vulcan. |

The oil's been on the table for several years now. Rumour on the street is that the Kirchner's, who've been active politically in Argentina for 40 years or so have had some very dodgy dealings behind them. Encite the mis-held belief by many Argentines about the "wrongs" of the "Malvinas", and hope it focusses the heat somewhere else. As for mines, we've asked in the past if they'd be prepared to clear them The answer? No. Therefore they can'seriously want the islands "back", so can shut up. Due to the boggy nature of the ground in some areas, the mines planted in 1982 have scarred the islands for ever. |

Once again you have wiped all previous conversations from your consciousness.
We have discussed this before and as said then, no one has ever made it a secret that oil is in in short supply and a finite resource. It has always been "one" of the reasons why cutting our reliance on fossil fuels is a good idea. You know the other.
Use of the forum search function and a read of previous posts will refresh your memory.

I gather that idiot Shaun Penn has got involved, and claims the UK are responsible for colonialisation and should get out of the Falklands. On that basis, the US should give back America to the American Indians, Argentina back to the descendants of the Inca, Australia should be given back to the Aborigine's, and New Zealand back to the Maori's. Not to mention a mulitude of other nations...
Get lost Shaun, it's our sovereign territory.
He should stick to directing his films.

+1 Maybe the Argentinians are paying him to do PR for them? Best regards, Vulcan. |

Apparently he went over to Argentina, met the dodgy president, and pledged his support.
I have no words that express my disgust appropriately.

Penn is just one of the liberal Hollywood elite. There are many of them who seem to believe that because they are successful entertainers that somehow confers great political wisdom upon them and that the rest of us should care about their opinions in matters they know little about. The press, of course, aid and abet, giving them a platform. Penn is also a buddy of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, who is very anti-American. Chavez was, a year or two ago, attempting to create a major entertainment industry in Venezuela to rival Hollywood. I think Penn was one of those involved in that. Mr. Penn hates his country and makes no secret of it. Apparently he's broadened his portfolio and now hates yours as well. |

Madrid and Paris could have claims that pre-date any Buenos Aires think they have!

I, like most sensible people, dislike the Daily Fail, but this says it all really.
I could probably be accused of swaying somewhat toward the liberal myself, but Penn's liberalism is not so much the point, his utter lack of logic is.
If Penn is liberal, then he gives liberalism a bad name.

Penn isn't just liberal, he's liberal to the extreme with a strong leaning towards socialism, maybe even communism.

I don't think socialists or communists believe in giving up islands that belong to them do they?
A more accurate term would be nutter perhaps?
Liberalism is about equal rights, so maybe he should consider the rights of the Falkland islanders, the right of the Falkland islanders to decide who governs them?
Somebody should ask Penn if the US should give back California to the Mexicans?
