Just came across his latest rant this time about Falklands..

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21758191

He just seems anti everything...

I tend to disregard his opinions on account of him being an utter helmet.

dirtychinchilla · 12 Mar 2013 at 20:22

I think he's great.

StoneColdJoe · 12 Mar 2013 at 20:24

Is he the guy that pretended to be a cat or something on BB?

~Mike~ · 12 Mar 2013 at 20:24

The man is a fool.

Indeed. He's in the same category as Kimi Raikonnen.

I concur.

I don't agree with a lot of things he says, but he is pretty good on some things and he does well at what he does.

He's a real life troll.

Fenris · 12 Mar 2013 at 20:37

He's a loon, ignore him.

You can even tell the presenter has no interest in his opinion what so ever.

lool - "Who is this anyway?" - such a troll comment!

Brookert · 12 Mar 2013 at 20:42

They day will come when we cannot defend the Falklands? Utter tripe.....

gettothechopper · 12 Mar 2013 at 20:43

I have a email style filter in my head that files everything he says straight into a brain based recycle bin...... and then empties the recycle bin

My crazy great aunt recently asked him for an autograph and had a group picture with him and her great grandson, she's mental.

He seems to have a much higher opinion of the Argentine military than most people then, they're just as broke as we are

You say that, but our military still has the fourth highest budget in the world. So it may not touch the biggest armies in size, but it is highly funded and very capable for it's size.

Nowhere near the same category as Kimi.

Right on some things (War on Iraq, media bias on Isreal & Palestine) - wrong on other things (ie, this).

Only a few fanatics agree it shouldn't be part of the UK - even a large group of Argentine intellectuals argue it should remain British as the rights to self determination is paramount.

The other point being historically they don't have a valid claim, Spanish colonialist don't have some magical superiority suddenly to British colonialists.

If it was in the indigenous people of South America asking for it back I'd be inclined to at least take it seriously - maybe they assume nobody knows the history.

I mean, I'm all for giving back land which has been historically stolen - but in this case it had no indigenous population - so it simply doesn't apply - hell even the Dutch have a better claim (IIRC).
