Hi Everybody,

Here is a classic example of politics at play: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...l-dispute.html

Everybody knows why the UK is sniffing around Las Malvinas (err Falkland Islands), it's for oil exploration.

So Gordon Brown(nose) states that he is protecting the Falkland Islanders! "We maintain the security of the Falklands and there are routine patrols continuing," Mr Brown said. "I think you will find that we have made all the preparations that are necessary to make sure the Falkland Islanders are properly protected."

Yeah, right.

An MOD spokesman got it right, "The warships are there to protect the UK interests in the South Atlantic." In future people, read OIL in the place of 'interests'.

Best regards,

Steve
