Argies shoot their Olympic video ... on our Falkland Islands

AN Argentinean Olympic hopeful trains on the Falkland Islands – in a provocative telly ad aired by the South American country last night.

The 90-second clip, broadcast during prime time, shows Argie hockey player Fernando Zylberberg running through the streets of the Falklands' capital city Port Stanley.

He jogs past quintessentially British things including a red phone box and a Union Flag.

He also does push ups outside the Globe Tavern pub, and runs past the offices of Penguin News — the island’s weekly English-language newspaper.

Why does Argentina want the Falklands? All you can do there is raise sheep, but the Argentines prefer beef.

I've read that it's thought that there's lots and *lots* of oil in the surrounding waters.

Wouldn’t it have been a hoot if British security forces had caught them and blew every one of them to hell!

Brit security forces? Please.... They cannot carry guns and the Brits have virtually no Navy left. If Argentina wants the Falklands they could probably take them now. Obama would not help the Brits, and for that matter since the Brits are intent on national suicide there is no reason for the US to help them anyway. The UK will be a Muslim nation soon enough via sheer demographics.

The bloody trouble was when they started bringing the bloody wogs home with them. We could deal with the savage on his own soil, but bring him home to the four-mile radius, and all hell breaks loose!

Argentina’s Nazi expats & their descendants must be laughing up their sleeves.

Is it already thirty years since Mrs. Thatcher’s British forces delivered huge smackdown on the Argies?

I’ll bet the next time this Argie appears in a Falklands vid he’ll be waving the Argentine flag and shouting “Venceremos!”

1—Of course they can carry guns!. The various gun bans relate to the public.

2-Argentina has nowhere near the 1982 capability to launch an invasion, and the British garrison there is armed to the teeth, with a rapid reaction force on standby.

3-Again, for the 987,452,631 th time, 96% of the UK is not Muslim. 93% is white. Oh and dont reply with that Muhammed is no1 name story either, that will save you the time of it being debunked for the thousandth time here.

Gun bans pertain only to the British public, and only (most) handguns are banned (1997) and assault rifles (1988). Rifles and shotguns are legal, as long as licenced.

The Royal Navy HAS been gutted too much, but claims it is nearly extinct are hype. And the Argentine armed forces are in fact weaker than 1982, with numbers and esp technology that dosent come close to British technology. They simply couldnt mount an invasion, even if they did the British garrison is 1200 strong, and armed to the teeth. With sizeable RAF and RN support, and a force ready if invasion ever happened.

Britain is 95.4% NON-Muslim. And that 4.6% includes all UK and non-UK muslims who arent of Pakistani descent, from white and black British converts to people who may be muslim but from Indonesia, Africa and other places. The UK is also 92.1% ‘white’, with another 1.2% mixed race, so around 93% of the UK are white or part-white. The idea the Moozlims can breed us out is a nonsense. The biggest recent immigration to the UK has been from Eastern Europe between 2001-02 and now. White, European nations.
