I can get why they'd burn the flag, but why burn the tires?

That's how we do it here.
Anti-British hate crime is so infrequent I'm not even offended by it :v:
hold on
is that a british motherfucking tyre
[b]not the fucking tyres oh christ no[/b]
It would be more threatening if it was more like the American flag burnings in the middle east, but this looks more like a Westborough Baptist Church protest except with people wearing tea towels.

Don't listen to him. Just throw that shit in the water.
It'll be funny.
What's with Latin American countries and fire lately?
They can burn as many flags as they want as long as they don't try occupying the islands again. Another war is the last thing anyone needs but I doubt it'll come to that anyway.

People are inclined to believe that we shat all over the Argentinians but we could've been very well buggered if it weren't for a bit of luck.
the British Empire is a product of simpler times, the Falklands is only still relevant to the UK because of A) the people who live there want to remain British and B) Oil
If it were different circumstances it wouldn't matter if the Argentinians took over

Exactly, if the circumstances were different i'm almost certain the Britsh goverment would have given Argentina the islands, regardless of our stance on the islands 'ownership'. However what Argentina fail to grasp is the fact that the UK is acting in the interests of the islands inhabitants by not negotiating. Since the islands inhabitants do not want any negotiations... and it's easy to understand why after all the grief Argentina have put them through, and continue to put them through.
The Argentine view is based entirely on the legal aspect of ownership which would never hold up in a UN court due to human rights. The best solution to this dispute would be for the falklanders to call for a UN resolution, which would undoubtedly result in favour of the falklanders.
oh no they burnt their own flag which vaguely resembled the union jack.
this will definitely scare someone.

For the record, that second picture is actually denouncing the people getting angry over this and stating that the Falklands are nothing more than a distraction used by the government to keep the peoples focus away from important issue and try to keep face.
It states that any reasonable person with a good upbringing would know how absurd the whole fight is.
We protest erryday
literally
every year there's at least one week of delay because the school board and the teachers can't get along
every week there's cuts on main avenues to protest because of insecurity or whatever
It's like some factory got a tire overflow years ago and are selling them for really cheap so everyone has enough to burn
ALSO people are SERIOUSLY HATIN' on the Chileans because 3% of the Falklanders are chilean. Nobody's bitching about the Argentinian 1.5%, though.
If the military took over this shit wouldn't happen. Sorry England.
