    That was a myth the Argies started, the ship is on the bottom facing away from Argentina. You have to simply ask, what was a troop ship, full of armed troops, doing in waters near a war zone? ... sightseeing?

    the news at the time said the ship was in retreat, so it was not a threat, shot in the back i say, a war crime

    How do you know that news is true?
    Was a war situation-they were geared up for conflict,You would rather take a chance and let our men be attacked?
    If I was armed and saw a gunman hold a kid at gunpoint and then he ran away I would definitely "take him out" who is to say he is not going to attack another day, Presumably you would let him off

    she changed the rules so she could legally sink that ship without being accused of war crime,
    any other country with the exception of america would face fierce criticism by the west and be accused of crime of war, one rule for the west another rule for them,

    argentina ,who started it is not the answer to why she shot them in the back,but it does say something about the morals or lack of morals of the witch

    People go on about the cost of living,makes me laugh.
    Food years ago seemed far dearer than it is now,We all used to have sunday roast,then cold meat and mash on a monday.
    Me good ol mum would sometimes say "it's chicken next week" I would tell my mate and he would come round for what was seen as a luxury in those days.
    Yes food was cheaper but my first wage was £10.00 a week
    Most people could eat chicken everyday if they wanted now.
    It's tough these days having,car or more than one,Sky tv,wine in the kitchen as graham says ,Ipads,pcs,ps3s etc We don't know were born these days.

    We've seen the ship on the bottom in the last couple of years by the same guys that done the Titanic. The way it was lying was pointing away from Argentina. Maybe you also missed the bit that HMS Conqueror, our nuclear sub, was being depth charged at the time by the Belgrano's covering destroyers?

    So we were at war, our sub was under attack, the troop ships had fully armed destroyers with it, and we now have picture proof from an independent source that the ship was moving away from Argentina. The Belgrano's last order, picked up by the signals-intercept unit ordered the ship to meet up with other Argentinian warships inside the Exclusion Zone.
