Telling your enemy you're going to attack is always a good idea.😂🤣
You are worrying about the Malvinas, when you are being invaded at home?

Great to hear from Simon, a true British hero in every sense.
I agree. He's a legend and he's looking healthier now than I've ever seen him.
I was thinking that, possibly just the bodies natural ability to assimilate changes plus maybe various skin treatments@@DextraVisual
He’s a good soul 💚🇬🇧
I do like how Simon always brings it back to the Falkland Islanders. It's their land and their choice. He understands the principle for which the war was fought.
@@seniorslaphead8336 he’s a true British boy at heart. But knows it belongs to Argentina underneath. It wasn’t really worth it 😔
Its unthinkable today's government could defend the Falklands. They can't even defend the south coast of England against people landing in rubber dinghies armed with iphones and Nike trainers. 😅
They have woke people preventing them form being sent back.
Slightly different scenarios tbh Rules of engagement are a thing.. no doubt hostile persons are aware of this and use it to their advantage though. Not saying everyone to hop off a dinghy is a hostile actor but to say there are none mixed in would be plain ignorance, naivety and pretty poor judgement. Our security services must have a lot on their plate I imagine, vetting them all. Although an actual upfront military attack on us would surely generate an appropriate response without meeting the requirements for one of those pesky war crime labels or a human rights violation 😅 but hey FAFO innit
Don't the Islands have a defence force?
Not rubber now synthetic plastik dingys
@@liammeech3702does argie have a defence force ?
99.8% voted to remain a British territory in 2013. That says it ut all.
100 English people from Bristol move to Falklands and conduct a referendum to join Britain. Lol. The UN doesn't recognise this referendum.
@@y3puGnxglmao what rubbish you write
@@y3puGnxg what's the UN got to do with anything?
@@y3puGnxgwe don’t care about the UN, this is non negotiable
@y3puGnxg begs the question; why don't the Argies' just mass emigrate to the Falklands? Open restaurants, Club etc
He said Argentina lost the war and said diplomacy is the only way. He also said he admires Thatcher. This is media propaganda.
So Argentina have no claims to the Falklands. It would have been easier to stay silent.
Painful was it Boyo (or what ever you are)
@@Arthur54321 ?
Thank you!! I’ve been saying this on every post that is miss informing people!!
Exactly!!
This is nothing more or less than a performative ritual that ALL new Argentine presidents have to go through: it's expected of them in the same way that it's expected of ANY new British Prime Minister to make a statement about his committment to the NHS. The sacred idols have to be honoured. The second half of the ritual is that the British Foreign Secretary (or the PM, if they aren't too busy with important things) makes a statement re-confirming Britain's position on the Falklands, then everyone can breath a sigh of relief, forget about the issue for the next four years, and get on with things they think they can actually fix.
The only reason that so much fuss is being made this time is that the left-wing press (i.e. most of them) are salivating over the propect of a shooting war between a "far right" (shocker: he isn't) led Argentina and a "far right" (ditto) led UK, so that they can criticism both of them. Remember, you didn't hear a peep out of them when the last two LEFT WING Argentine presidents said pretty much the same thing, except a few half-hearted attempts to shame Britain about "colonialist" hangovers.
Excellent comment. A very cogent nailing of the whole issue.
If you compare the current Argentine military to that of the UK it would literally be a war crime to have a conflict with them! They would be annihilated in under a week.
The four Typhoons based on the Falklands could probably deal with them on their own.
I watched a simulation based on it.
The 4 typhoons absolutely wiped the entire air force before the argies got a shot off.
New tech vs the same tech they used in 82
Let them do it and take Argentina mainland as a joke win win.
If I lived in the Falklands I would be wary of any Pledge Rishi makes, look how easily he gave up on Northern Ireland. Well said Simon.
Ireland should be for the Irish.
He said Northern Ireland, not the Republic of Ireland.
You clown
@@cheds1then why did the Irish give it to Europe?
@@williamclark6641 course they used to being controlled
He must have a got a kick back for Ireland.
Ownership of the islands is an emotional thing. Argentina wants them mostly because they are remote to the UK and closest to Argentina. As with Gibraltar, those who inhabit the islands are happy to be British and do not want to be Argentinian. Considering the track record of Argentinian governments since the war, can anyone blame them?
@@user-sc2cv2xj7x You make a point. Power trumps what the residents want.
The natives of Argentina want their land back 😂
Argentina didn't exist when the British settled on the Falklands so Argentina have ZERO CLAIMS TO IT !!
@@SpacebadgerFucking pirates
@@Stephen-lx9nm I am not sure Argentina EVER occupied the islands. The UK found a use for them and did so.
Take back? Argentina never had them.
Argentina first invaded the South Sandwich islands, which Argentina had never made a claim for ever.
It then invaded South Georgia which Argentina had never made a claim for either.
Looking good Simon! 👏A true British hero 💪🇬🇧
fill it with 3 million migrants before woke Westminster hand it back
Make it 4 and a 1/2 million.
Anyone not native then watch them jump ship for their homelands 😂.
how can you hand back something they didn't own 😂😂
We now have all those millions of immigrants that would love to fight for this country set up bases for them in falklands thet can prove their worth
No citizenship until your family has proven their patriotism by fighting a war for Britain! I like it.
😂😂😂What a joke!
They don't wanna die for England, they wanna take it over and impose their sharia upon all citizens!
@@Ben-ek1fz Then enlighten the poor folks, clearly you are some type of authority, so use your knowledge to better the world rather than taking sly digs at people, educate them. Or are you just as stupid and just write things to illicit a response to get that endorphin high?
Fun fact- who supplied weapons to argentina during the falklands war?
Our duplicitous ally israel
God no, why subject the Falklands to the masses of awful people
Were do you get your information?? He did NOT say that!!! I live in Argentina. Javier Milei admires Margaret Thacher!!!
Sadly they can see how weak our government is. I can't see Snakey Sunak exactly doing a Margaret Thacher.
Spent time in the Falklands working a few years ago and I’d say they’re more proud to be Brits than a lot of us here , great people great place, long may the union flag 🇬🇧 fly high in port Stanley
That flag has done more harm than good worldwide. Everything they ve touched has turned to shite.
Here you are, making snide comments again.
You must be a salty bog trotter
Every country does bad things, the only difference with the British Empire is that it was the most powerful entity on Earth at the time and so its actions were magnified in scope and scale, good or bad, but one of those good things was the abolition of the global slave trade. No other country could have done that at that time, and it was done with ships flying the Union Jack. @@cheds1
@@cheds1name one country that has done more to shape the standards we are blessed to live in today?
Cheds,, that's more on the people the british left it to, if it turns to shite, then those people are shite. Don't mind taking our money though, do they?
Lovely to see Simon Weston looking so well!
How could Argentina 'take back the Falklands' ?
The Falkland islands have been British long before Argentina even existed .
They think that the oil off shor is good. But it is a low grade apparently. Will make money but not that much on the market.
Britain left the islands in 1774, never protesting or challenging the 32 Spanish and 5 Argentine governors, any claim prescribed by acquiescence after 55 years of complete silence. They had absolutely no right to take them from Argentina that was already settled in 1833
How can he Take Back Something he never Owned ?
BECAUSE YOUR BRITISH HISTORY IS A LIE
It's not a 'colonial issue' the Falklands were uninhabited when they were initially settled by the French in very small numbers, the Falkland Islanders are if British descent.
He's playing a dangerous game here, Argentina was not uninhabited when it was colonized by Spain.. is he planning to return it to the indigenous peoples? Thought bot
FRANCE LAY CLAIM TO IT AND SOLD IT TO SPAIN THEN TRANSFERRED TO ARGENTINA AND SETTLED THE AREA THERE THEN FORCEFULLY REMOVED BY UK NAVY
He’ll be good for Argentina. Ignore the Falklands claims …
If GB news was really a right wing channel and not controlled opposotion. They would be supporting this man, Argentina has absolutely no intention of invading the Falklands and the only reason he made those comments is that he upset some Argentine Falklands vets by saying he respected Thatcher and wanted to bring her policies to Argentina
He sounds like a Communist. Wants to rescue the hyperinflating US Dollar by dropping the Peso and replacing it with $US, to soak up some that hyperinflation. This is only a very short term life extension. Both states will sink together.
What did he actually say? They didn't give a direct quote.
But he said he would go about it diplomatically and let the islanders decide but in the meantime he said Argentina needs to make improvements so he is aware of his priorities. Anyway the islanders are mostly British as if theyre gonna vote for Argentina. And as if hes gonna invade its so far fetched. In 1982 they were under dictatorship completely different to this....British media are blowing this out of proportion.
They are mostly Scots decendency
Una voz sensata .
Very nice to hear from Simon.
This isn't serious, he's playing to his supporters. Argentina has MAJOR problems he needs to address first. Ironically the Falklands War was initiated by the Junta after it crashed the economy, route 1... distract Argentinians from the problems at home with a bit of Sabre rattling
We desperately need a Javier Milie as Primeminister.
Someone who actually understands the value of freedom..instead of the nasty little control freaks we have now.
except that his actions here in wanting territorial expansion rather than concentrating on domestic issues have undermined all aspirations for other right-wing (nationalist-leaning) leaders to emerge. the guy is making the right look stupid AF
It's a joke that I reckon all serious Argentinians get...even the ones that actually think the Falklands should be theirs. Even if the islands were just defended by a single platoon of Royal Marines as was the case in 1982, that would be enough to see off an Argentine 'invasion' nowadays, given how their capability has eroded since then. We should all stop reacting to this nonsense.
Tories can lead by example and take all migrants over to the Falklands..then defend it together ❤️
That's not fair to the locals.
@@AshPrimeDCFC well said 👏
'We will defend our island, no matter the cost'
If they in vade by dingy we’ve had it.
All that high tech and only the RNLI can detect dinghies.
Sports Direct will have to set up a branch on the Falklands, where else are they going to get their Nike trainers ?
Whilst the British Army does have a larger and better force than Argentina does.... If Argentina does decide to invade, I guarantee you Sunak will be regretting sending and wasting half of our resources to Ukraine as well as the severe cuts to the military that have been going on the past few years - I've said this for years to people... what the conservatives have done to our Military alone is absolutely shameful (not mentioning the other ways they have let us down)
Ridiculous nonsense. Argentina wouldn’t get a single soldier on the islands. The islands are perfectly well defended. Also, everything we have given to Ukraine was due for disposal anyway. Giving it to Ukraine actually saved us money. 🤦🏻♂️
We have far more troops on the island, some of the most advanced fighter jets in the world in the Typhoon and just one Type 45 would end everything not withstanding an Astute attack Submarine liotering around to sink anything that even came close. Whilst I agree our current politicians are a bunch of utter fools a Labour goverment would be far be worse for our military as they would gut it even more as they have always done.
The Falklands were British before Argentina existed as a nation. Argentines have never lived there. The native population has never been Argentine, has never voted to be Argentinian and has never displaced a native Argentinian contingent. So their claim is baseless.
The Argentinians are
our friends now. Lovely people. zero threat
Nope
@@louisbeerreviews8964Exactly, we don't like Britain neither 🇬🇧🤮
@@louisbeerreviews8964 Ever been to BA ?
@@maxflight777 no never and if u say ur British ppl will not be friendly others also throw insults in Spanish its the truth England is hated a lot here ://
Why has Argentina elected Gary Glitter as president?
We no longer have the balls to do anything with our woke army.
What does that even mean?
@@flavortown289 have you not seen the latest advertisements for the army? Our woke culture have alienated the majority of their target audience. Hence they can not fill the positions…That is what it means.
The fact that there are supposed oil and natural gas reserves down there, there is no chance we're giving them up.
The illegal immigrants can be shipped there they wanted to come to the UK the faulklands are british
More of Simon please!
He really knows his stuff and explains well... for a welshman lol 😉
They were never Argentina's to take back 😂😂
You can't take something back that was never yours in the first place. Falklands was a British colony long before Argentina ever existed.
In other words he found out that the squid trade is quite profitable and oil i think they found.
Either way the islanders voted years ago to remain British so argy bargy can take a running jump!
Even if they became part of Argentina, I can't imagine many Argentinians would want to live in such a cold, windy place.
Have you ever been in Patagonia?? Argentinians are not mexicans..
@@Rob-pz5dw I could also add it's 300 miles from the mainland, so it's more remote than Patagonia.
@@rewdwarf123 So? I'm just saying many argentinians are used to live in a cold, windy place.
There are Argentines living at 4100 meters above sea level, it would not be a problem to live on the islands, and if it were under Argentine control it would have all the products and services in a short time.
He'd just be taking advantage of how weak we've become. We are kind of a laughing stock at the moment.
Not true
bro the Meteor missiles our Typhoons carry can shoot down half the Argentinian air force from over 100 miles away lmao
How could the Argentinians even get it "back" when it was never theirs in the first place?
Britain left the islands in 1774, never protesting or challenging the 32 Spanish and 5 Argentine governors, any claim prescribed by acquiescence after 55 years of complete silence. They had absolutely no right to take them from Argentina that was already settled in 1833
@@SM-zm5xt Argentina has the least claim to the island, they had the lowest population there and always have done.
We can argue about whether it should be Spanish, but it sure as hell doesn't belong to the degenerates in Argentina.
Always makes me laugh when the Argentinians use the word "colonial" when talking about the UK.... er what language are you all speaking? 😂😂😂
Simon makes a ton of sense, bless him! He would be a great PM
The Argentinian claim over the Falkland Islands might have some credence if the islands were visible off the Argentine shore and not over 820 nautical miles distant with a long established British population and British administration. Also, there’s the little problem of Argentina’s previous attempt to capture the islands and their utter defeat and humiliation.
What like the jihadis in france""ON A CLEAR DAY"
@@stuartheard4927 820 miles is a long way, even on a clear day and for a jihadi with 20/20 vision.
Wish we had someone like him here in the UK, a true libertarian. Under socialist control, Argentina has crumbled, one week in post and already their economy is flourishing.
How is this Federal Reserve, regime change instalment -- "Libertarian" at all?? Do you also want the Pound to be dropped and replaced with the US Dollar?
He doesn’t even take office until December 10th.
Camron will just hand it over to them! Like he is doing with Gibraltar!
There's no "take back" the Island, it was empty when the British moved onto it.
How many immigrants will fight. ?.l bet their won't be a call for diversity there.
Why didn't the Government send the Asylum Seekers instead of Rwanda a place they knew was never going to pass any type of scrutiny over their atrocious human rights there
The Argentina government should just send over loads of brown Argentines in little boats to claim Islas Malvinas.
What are the British going to do, stop those little boats?! xD
That's not true, Hong Kong was NOT on lease to the UK (Hong Kong belonged to us legally), the "New Territories" had a 99 year lease but China just took everything back because what was the UK supposed to do about it in 1997? We need to get our history right!
Simon looks amazingly good !
A tribute to our NHS !
"Liberalism is unrestricted respect for the life project of others, based on the principle of non-aggression and in defense of the right to life, liberty and property" So don't worry about the lies of the media, never he talked about wars and especially to the people of the Falklands, we respect their rights. 🇦🇷🤝🇫🇰

You can not take something that was never yours in the first place.
You can, but that would be stealing.
@@gbone7581no
As long as its through peaceful negotiation wheres the problem.
Let's hope that Simon Weston is right and Milei is sabre-rattling and slight-of-hand politics to deflect the attention of Argentinian voters away from the country's desperately dire economy...
He’ll go on to the dollar and then get the Americans to stick their noses in and tell us to leave

Well, as Spaniard, I have read the supposed "plan" to recover Malvinas or Falklands and has said that will be by peaceful negotiation. Never use of force. Not to say that want to do business with UK and USA. Any use of force will lost all credibility.
Its never been theirs, never have they lived there, forked out for it, cultivated it. Its been in English hands for hundreds of years apart from the time of the French.
English?

why not, they belong to Argentina
They don't, they belong to the UK

We can always send some blokes in hi-vis jackets to protect the islands.
They will all be of Middle Eastern descent but you know all very very British you see.
They are I'm telling you....they are.
Being an American, I am for sending our Navy along side UK to stop this before it starts.
Did we not learn from the 80’s?
Can’t we do a deal with argentina, we keep the Falklands and give them Scotland !
Nah give them Ireland
The people there should decide.
Well done Simon, a genuine been there done it sort of bloke. Argentina used to be a major supplier of meat and other products to the UK before WW2, so perhaps they would be better coming closer to the UK for mutual trade. They are promising China the Oil in the south Atlantic, one suspects, which is far more useful for us. South Georgia is an ideal home for all those Migrants too.
🇬🇧🤮
Greetings from Argentina! President Javier Milei is not planning to take the islands militarily. No one has nothing to fear here. We have no military plans. We have many problems to address here in Continental Argentina. What Milei does is abide by the Argentine Constitution and keep the diplomatic efforts to reunite those territories in the very long term.
If, maybe, Argentina improves economically and we increase economic integration with the Islands, we forsee the possibility to enter in negotiations about a gradual merging.
