Can't wait till the new show next week. Clarkson's Farm was hilarious, as well.

In general, few countries have a great relationships with their former colonies.

Of course, there are actually natives to bitch about it in their case. Less so for former Spanish or Belgian colonies.

UK/USA is an exception, but it took a few minutes.

The Argentines got some licks in during that war too, but the Falklands remained British. Some Argentines are still bitter about that. Don't start none, won't be none.

It also showed what had become of the British empire. It took about 1/3 of the British Navy to run the Argentines out.

Hundreds of thousands of Nazis fled to Argentina

Not really surprised they don't like the UK

That Vulcan bombing mission was pretty wild.

Also, the Argentine Exocet missiles were devastating.

I disagree with that. The British improved every place they colonized. Now you can make a case for other countries that colonized simply to extract resources but the British established law and western civilization.

So will the Argentinian Jorge Bergoglio send a Vatican envoy to her funeral? He’s so into the ecumenical thing anyway, couldn’t object on grounds of the Reformation.

No matter what Clarkson and the old Top Gear crew try to claim, I will never belive that license plate stunt was not done intentionally, either by the crew themselves or by the Argentinian DMV-equivalent who issued the plates on purpose to stir up shite for the Brits they knew were coming.

The coincidence is too great to ignore.

Every native “civilization” the Brits colonized is worse off without them.
