The EU bans the import of GM products, and has so far overlooked Argie soy bean.
If it were banned , it would hurt all Argies pockets , from the rich farmers through to the people on welfare .

I don't have problem with GM food, except those that are deliberately designed to be one crop only so as to force poor farmers into buying expensive seeds every season (but I digress) and I have a major problem with the way the EU acts as protectionist market so its slightly hypocritical of me to say this but maybe we should be insisting on the Eurocrats doing their bloody jobs and enforcing the regulations.

What. The one built by the University of Leicester and the British Antarctic Survey? Or how about the best communications network in the south atlantic, you know? the one that can contact submarines all around the world!

Tin-man's speech at the UN was brilliant. Tough crowd though.
Edit: The speech

The Argentine people should have the intelligence and dignity to drop all claims to the Falklands and so to benefit from improved relations and trade, or for ever be complaining about the state of their own country and what might have been and allow the Falklands people to be british which is their wish

I posted one fairly innocuous message on that story, responding to the usual half truths routinely spouted. And have been banned already...
Weird.
