Found this sad story of how New Labour yet against show there complete contempt for the armed forces of this nation on the BNP site. 2007 marks the 25th anniversary of the invasion of the Falklands Islands by Argentinean forces and the subsequent battle by British troops to reclaim this British dependency in the South Atlantic, however in a move which has infuriated forces veterans the Ministry of Defence and Buckingham Palace have confirmed they are not sending a minister or senior representative to the Falkland Islands to commemorate the anniversary of the war against Argentina.
Heaven forbid that Argentina should be offended, never mind that ex soldiers in that nation will also be remembering that war.
Forces veterans view the move as a failure to acknowledge a campaign in which 255 British troops died, almost a third more than the casualties sustained in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.
In a statement which demonstrates the calibre of the effete, lazy and utterly out-of-touch goons who are running this country the Veterans' Minister Derek Twigg would not be going to the Falklands because of the archipelago's 'unpleasant' and 'chilly' weather during their winter. He will stay 8,000 miles away in summertime London.
Well don't that just sum up the New Labour approach, he might get a cold. Bless his cotton socks. Maybe he should remember some of the 255 dead soldiers who went to that island with the (and I quote his words here) 'unpleasant' and 'chilly' weather and never came home again outside of a body bag. Mind you normally New Labour types are the first to rip your hand off for a free flight any damn place, but as the place is a tad cold seems that our Derek bless him cant really be bothered to respect our troops. Derek Twigg I say it here and now you are a sniveling, gutless cunt of the 1st order.
The absence of the royal family at anniversary events planned for the islands' capital, Port Stanley, has particularly distressed some veterans, given that the Duke of York saw active service as a Sea King helicopter pilot during the conflict. Veterans said the news offered affirmation that the Falklands war, one of Margaret Thatcher's crowning moments, had become a forgotten campaign. Les Heyhoe, fundraising and events manager for the Falklands Veterans' Foundation, which has 29,000 members, said: 'People will be very, very disappointed without a doubt. In context, it seems such a small sacrifice to make.
Indeed not content to not supply our troops with decent kit, allowing them to live in slum housing, beg and borrow or buy equipment off American troops these evil fucking bean counters now cant give a shit about the past achievements of there own army.
'Wider events in the world today may have played their part. It seems to be a forgotten war, and that is why we are trying so hard to remember those who made such a sacrifice'.
The centrepiece of the conflict's commemorative events will take place on 17 June in London, where veterans and Falkland islanders will talk about their experiences following a military march.
A series of events all around the country will be taking place throughout 2007 to mark the heroism and dedication of those who the Labour regime are quick to forget.
Evil amoral fuckers New Labour the lot of them. Oh I have sent a copy of this to Mr Twigg, let us just hope that this shameful little man changes his mind.
Finally the lyrics to Buenos Aires - The Macc Lads
With greasy hair and sweaty bums, they'd never heard of Boddington's
A different culture and a different race, - no chippies in the fucking place,
You can keep that poof Ardiles, we're going to have your Malvinas
Eh Up!
They got our backs up without a doubt, time to sort those Argies out
Costa Mendez lives in fear of real men who can hold their beer
Eh! Eh! Eh! The lads are on their way,
With bayonets and tommy guns and bellies full of Boddington's
Eh Up!
Fray Bentos and cheap red wine is all they eat in the Argentine
But after a scrap with the English Navy, they'll ask for the recipe for chips 'n' gravy

N.B.- Costa Mendez was the Argy Foreign Secretary in 1982.
'Las Islas Malvinas' was what the Argies had the temerity to call the Falkland Islands.
N.B.- Ossie Ardiles was a minuscule Argy footballer who played for Spurs.
He was stuck in Argentina until the war was over.
They found him when they cut the grass.
