Argentina’s military threat raises fears over Falklands

Posted by Matt in July 8th, 2008

Argentina raised the prospect of posting military forces in the Antarctic region yesterday, with the announcement of plans to use troops to defend its interests.

President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner told defence chiefs that Argentina must be prepared to assert its sovereignty and protect its natural resources, as nations compete to claim areas of the region believed to be rich in oil.

The plans threaten to inflame tensions between Britain and Argentina over the Falkland Islands, which the South American nation still considers to be its sovereign territory despite losing a war in 1982.

Return to the Falklands - UK
July 2006 Twenty-four years after Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, the scars still run deep. Britain spends approximately €150 million a year defending this windy outpost. "Argentineans have a deep obsession with the Falklands Islands. It's like the Jews with Jerusalem", explains Esteban Hubner. He's visiting the islands for the first time with Falklands veteran Sergio Delgado. But Islanders are still bitter about the invasion. "I was furious. How dare they come and invade us!" states Trudi McPhee. Previously, Argentina offered the Islanders financial incentives to recognise its sovereignty. Now it's taking a much harder line. "They're putting pressure on us in every possible way, interfering with the fisheries and flights", complains McPhee. Fortunately for her, Britain has...

World Cup 1998 Argentina - England Beckham sent off
Beckham Gets sent off in the 1998 World Cup. http://www.footballworldcupbrazil2014.com The occasion was the 1998 World Cup, in the run-up to which Beckham had played well but had been accused by coach Glenn Hoddle of not focusing on the tournament. After he was benched in two matches against Colombia's team, his temper flared in a second-round match against Britain's archrival Argentina, a nation with which Britain had gone to war in the Falkland Islands not long before. Given a red card penalty and sent out of the game following a kicking foul against Argentine player Diego Simeone, who had smashed into Beckham's back, Beckham left the British team short-manned. Britain lost the game on a penalty kick and was eliminated from the tournament, with the blame, as he himself admitted,...

Argentina steps up claims for Falkland Islands - 03 Apr 2008
President Kirchner put aside the domestic troubles to step up her country's claims to the Falkland Islands on the 26th anniversary of the war with Britain. She's called Argentina's rights to the islands "inalienable". Teresa Bo has more on why Argentines think Las Malvinas, as they're known in Spanish, are rightly theirs.

Opening Introduction for This is England
This Is England has an opening scene that catches the viewers eye. Very much like Dazed and Confused, as well as Detroit Rock City, the movie begins with a non-conformist history video. The music that plays is 54-46 Was My Number - Toots & The Maytals. There is spraypaint on the walls thanks to rebellion and images of love and British culture. Grassroots activists rebel to demand socialized medicare while clips later you can see severe consequences of brawls in pubs. This movie sets a young boy meeting a group of socialist skinheads who is confronted by other skinheads with a nationalist ideology. Skins are a uniquely post war British working class culture with multicultural elements. Spraypaint supporting the National Front compliments the images of British defenders of liberty,...
