Silly boy, there is a way of honouring the dead and those that fought but not in the way he wrote it. Lucky he is in a country that he can get away with that, if a British person who lived in Argentina did that they would be run out of the country.
Not true, actually.

They try to disuade first and then just laugh it off calling the geographically challenged Brexit voter something obscene like "bluepete" "moomin" or "joey66".
 
Just to add a bit of context to this thread. I was going theough my flying training in the RAF in 1982 so, whilst I never got further south than Ascension Island until after hostilities ceased, I was surrounded by the military build up and felt the loss of life as much as anyone.

Fast forward to 1995 and now employed as a commercial pilot I was asked if I fancied a 2 month detachment to Buenos Aires. I jumped at the chance while making a mental note to 'don't mention the war!'

However, much to my pleasant surprise, on our first night out we were engaged in conversation by some very pleasant Argentinians and, inevitably, the subject of the Falklands cropped up. Amongst our number was an ex Fleet Air Arm Sea Harrier pilot who had more than one kill to his name in the conflict.

But the Argentinians could not have been happier. As they pointed out, quite rightly, before the Falklands they were ruled by a military junta, thousands of people just 'diasappeared' for having the 'wrong' political views, the currency was worthless and everyone lived in fear.

Post Falklands, peace broke out, a democratic government was installed, the peso was tied to the $, nobody was frightened, a packet of cigarettes remained the same price for a year at a time and everyone was looking forward to a bright future.

Maybe a few Argentinian sabre rattlers would do well to remember this.
 
Who has tweeted about Hong Kong and how do they think that will get them a move away ?


I didn't raise the subject of Hong Kong. I merely replied to someone who added it in to the thread for context.

But, yes, I can't see too many premier league players from Hong Kong.
 

Personally think he’s been very stupid, which shouldn’t be surprising. Doesn’t look the sharpest tool in the shed.

Working earning a very good wage in England despite being injured and he’s posting insentive garbage like that. Use your brain.

He should stick to tweets about barbecuing at midnight instead.
 

apparently sam was watching him in training and he ballsed up a tackle 'no wonder you lost the war!' he allegedly shouted at him..
