SACREBLUE

It is said that President Cristina Fernández of Argentina has raised the Falklands issue to divert attention away from her domestic problems. By claiming ownership of a small group of islands 290 mile off the Argentine coast she hopes the people will ignore their dire financial state.  Nicolas Sarkozy is also in trouble domestically and the British Isles are only 21 miles from France.  Better brush up the old school French, folks.

WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE

With the 30th anniversary of the Falklands (sorry Las Malvinas) war upon us, President Cristina Fernández has gone on the verbal attack again.  It is obvious that a small British, English-speaking colony, 8000 miles from home should not exist. Perhaps the irony of the fact that she delivered the address in Spanish has escaped her.  We were all occupiers, the difference is merely when.
