General Info, comments policy, etc etc.

For a while now I have been a regular poster on Mercopress, the web based Uruguayan run South Atlantic news agency based in Montevideo, I have offered many commentaries in respect of the Falklands and Argentina's claim to them, but have somewhat struggled to keep track and re-visit many of the points I have made over the last 2 years or so, this blog aims to redress some of the short-comings in that respect and offer a centralized easy to access location for many of my opinions and commentaries as well as research.

The Falklands however is also a cause I strongly believe in, the idea that Argentina can demand sovereignty against the democratically expressed wishes of the inhabitants based on a perceived slight to its national ego 180 years ago, is an injustice and travesty that is dying to be redressed. We live in a age where the rights of individuals are now the defining hegemony of international politics, not the rights of states, and frankly Argentina's claims to the Falklands against its inhabitants wishes is rotten to the core, with arguments based on falsehoods, lies and contradictions. Thus this blog also aims to address the majority of these lies and falsehoods, and hopefully give readers a full understanding of the monstrous injustice that Argentina calls its sovereignty claim.

I will also offer on occasions political commentary on happenings within the Falklands, aspects of its history and more often than not commentary on UK politicians dealings with the islands, as well as scrutinizing in depth many of the more insane ramblings by Argentine politicians and other Latin American nutcase politicians, in respect of the islands.

I also wish for this blog to be a repository of information which readers can look up for quick information if needs be.

My bias thus already evident I do love a good debate but any heros of La Patria upholding the sanctity and purity of the ever so holy claim to the scared and sanctified Malvinas are not welcome if you are here to post insults; I will also be running a regular wall of shame in respect of that, to show people how undeserving Argentina is of the Falklands, and you will find yourself there, you have been warned. Please keep any comments polite, dutiful, respectful, intelligent with an example of having reached that opinion in an intellectual manner with both sides of the evidence having been studied and a conclusion reached...oh yes....and in english please!

I will also point out that on a regular basis posts may appear and disappear as I correct spelling mistakes, or correct factual inaccuracies or add more information, and there may come times where no new posts appear, sadly I am a busy individual and maintaining a blog of such scope could lead to claims that I am anti-social :) but however I will try my best and aim to provide at least a minimum 2 new posts a month.

With that all kept in mind, please do enjoy.
