If not, I suggest we just substitute the GB team with a load of Marines for the match vs. Argentina in the initial round.

As soon as the whistle goes, they just mash the crap out of the opposition (some lead weighting in the hockey sticks might help here) - paying particular attention to our marathon-running chum - and then just moon-walk off the pitch. Sorted.

No, I just have a mature sense of humour, rather than the mind of a child in a school playground.

I pity you then. I've long believed that "growing up" is the process of losing something, not gaining something. I hope I never lose a sense of childish fun.

Pretty clever propaganda, I bet it makes the Argentines pretty smug and proud to see that, whilst it angers and wind's the Islanders and the Brits.

We need to follow up with the same type of thing by the SBS doing a secret excercise around one of their military air bases on the mainland.
Not too secret sneak in swop some flags around or something equally juvenile but making a point after all the flags swapping places somewhere behind a security fence means someone has a head scratching WTF and how the fk moment.

A reply in the same vein would be funny.

However, as RG increasingly push the point, I'm worried one of these propaghanda stunts could cause an incident

Alright then, Victor Mature, why not let rip with that Perrier Award winning wit of yours and cheer us all up with some rib-tickling banter of your own?

This should be ignored. All these requests for apologies and demands for retractions just play into their hands.

No diplomacy, no negotiations, no conversation at all. Just ignore them. Then if they decide their only way forward is to invade, we do what we do best. A rumble. Again.

Strangely enough I was flicking through the red channels and women's hockey GBR - ARG is on at the moment. None of them look as though they have willies. yum

Yes we are winning and I have suddenly found myself an unexpected women's hockey supporter GO GBR. hehe

Didn't anyone actually check what they were up to? It's our own fault for not stopping it from happening.
Hang on a minute...

If we're saying the Islands are British, and that British levels of tolerance and freedom of expression are part of what the Islanders are all about ... isn't it a bit fkING STUPID to say that we ought to have used junta-style police-state powers to stop them from filming?

If you can't laugh this stunt off, you're not really British. IMHO.
bks!

This isnt about tolerance and expression, this whole stunt is a piss take and dig at the UK, I'm not saying anything about Junta style operations, simply stating this isn't right and provocative stuff like this is bound to get people wound up.

Get off your high horse!
The irony is that it was you* that jumped on your high horse about this perfectly legal stunt. Too fast to notice that you are undermining British values in your outrage. I just pointed it out.

Of course it's a piss take and a dig. But if you can't take that on the chin, you don't know the first thing about the British values that several hundred British servicemen died preserving.

* you're not alone, but alas, so many British people will shout about British values one moment and then conveniently forget about them when it's inconvenient frown
