Argentinian pope!!

[timbo]

Well I never. Not an atheist at all. Was at Sunday school in our little village in Somerset until 12 but. The newly elected was only a few months ago waging war on our falkland isles. President krishner must be very happy. Just a thread to induce comment !! Not to offend.

Argentina will start claiming the Vatican as her land soon anyway

Cameron's told him in no uncertain terms

In a reference to the method used by the Vatican to announce a decision on the identity of the new pope, he said: 'The white smoke over the Falklands was pretty clear.'

Asked at a press conference in Brussels whether he agreed with Francis on the issue of the Falklands, Mr Cameron said: 'I don't agree with him - respectfully, obviously.

'There was a pretty extraordinarily clear referendum in the Falkland Islands and I think that is a message to everyone in the world that the people of these islands have chosen very clearly the future they want and that choice should be respected by everyone.'

Buenos Aires-born Francis I made the remarks in April last year 30 years on from the conflict which was sparked by his country invading the disputed territory.

They need to remember, it was because of us retaking the Falklands that caused the fall of the military junta in Argentina.
