'Britain is colonialist,.. and archaic': Sean Penn blasts UK for refusing to hand over Falklands
UK Daily Mail ^ | February 14, 2012 | Daniel Bates

Sean Penn has branded Britain 'colonialist' for its refusal to hand over the Falkland Islands to Argentina. The notoriously left-wing actor said that the UK was being 'ludicrous and archaic’ by believing it could hold on to what he called ‘the Malvinas Islands of Argentina’. Penn, who has no personal connection with the islands at all, added that diplomacy was needed to resolve the issue but that he was firmly on the side of the Argentinians. His comments will incense Britons, Falkland Islanders and the families of those who died in the war in the South Atlantic almost 30 years ago.

‘Archiac’ pretty well describes Penn’s career.

Mr Sean Penn,

THEY DON’T HAVE TO HAND ANYTHING OVER JUST CAUSE YOU SAY SO.

What’s really ironic in all this is that the actual population of the Falklands is Anglo and doesn’t *want* to be “handed over” to Argentina. Handing them over to Argentina would actually be an act of Argentine imperialism.

Less than 1% of Falklands residents are Argentinian.

Sean Penn is a blithering fool.

Leftwingers don’t care what 99% of the Falkland want. Its what foreign leftists want that matters.

Facts never enter into the Leftist’s thought process. Simple inflamed emotion powers their brains.

Of course Sean would be on the side of a country that openly harbored Nazi war criminals.

I think it would be a measure of good faith if Sean Penn first hands all of his property in the US back to Native Americans. If he does that, then maybe Britain should consider giving the Falklands to the Argentinians.

Perhaps Argentina would take Sean Penn instead. No? It might be worth tossing in an island or two to seal the deal.

Idiot - only war unravels history.

Civilization has always been the advance of superior tribal warriors over the inferior.

So Sean would like to see the US revert back to Native American tribal governance??

Good luck with that, Tonto!

Gosh....I can barely wait to hear what he thinks about everything. I base all my decisions on what Sean Penn thinks. Sean! Tell us your thoughts on plumbing! You must know a lot about it because your head is filled with sh-t!

I would say to Penn ‘Shut up and act’ but I don’t like his acting either.
