I imagine the same as everywhere else, obesity is directly linked to poverty as 'healthier' foods cost more.
Salad is also more expensive in the US than here as most US food subsidies go on meat and milk, heck they even categorise Pizza as a vegtable.

Maybe the Islanders once there oil and gas finds are extracted will help to fund the defences of the islands by contributing to the Armed forces like paying for the enlargement of the armed forces !

we can but live in hope

I'd rather they funded the proper building of the two planned carriers in CTOBAR configuration with EMALS and a Air Arm of 60 F35C's

Dunno if anyone posted this on here back in Jan but a good word from Admiral Lord West regarding the Type 45 and the Falklands issue.

Very interesting TV programme from Iran's International News Network broadcast in English from it's Tehran based HQ.

http://www.presstv.ir/Program/226296.html

Here they discuss the Falklands issue and discuss: 'Is Britain out of it's depth?'

They even call Prince William the 'Pirate Prince'.....

Unfortunately anything he says is politically slanted these days.

Argentina presents UK with plan to resume flights to Malvinas

Argentina’s Ambassador to the UK Alicia Castro officially presented today Argentina's proposal to establish Aerolíneas Argentinas airline regular flights to the Malvinas Islands, during a meeting with UK’s Minister of State Jeremy Browne in London...

I don't like the idea of Argentinian flights to the Falklands as it opens up the possibility of Argentina using a civilian airline to land special forces in the Falklands.

I just think it's easier, any aircraft inbound from Argentina without authorisation will be shot down end of story. Makes Rules of Engagement so much easier!

JackSwan · April 24th, 2012, 07:19 PM

maybe even a couple that have been authorised. you know, just to keep things interesting.

They're definitely playing games, but the much touted civillian airline offloading special forces is too far fetched. Any plane from Argentina will get escorted in and you could be sure the whole of MPA would be on alert.

it would just be too obvious!

That's the problem these days. Anything that's too obvious eventually gets overlooked.

Are you for real?

I've heard some shite in my time but thats proper Steven Seagal grade bollocks...

No it isn't. It might be a bit far fetched but it's still plausible.
Don't knock Steven Seagal, he died in Executive Decision, first time I actually stood up in a cinema and cheered!

AdmiralAnthony · April 25th, 2012, 12:35 PM

And for our Argentinian friends this is what music is played through RN warships loudspeakers whilst patrolling the South Atlantic...

AdmiralAnthony · April 25th, 2012, 12:48 PM

And the tune that the Argentinian people have playing in the back of their minds when they think of the Falklands....it gets their blood boiling but at the end of the day re-taking the Falklands is still mission impossible...

I wouldn't want to be an Argie special forces member sat on a plane in the middle of a runway after the first few have disembarked and been identified as enemy!

It's even more of a whackjob attempt than the proposed SAS mission to land 50 men in Argentina and blow up their aircraft on the ground.
