Meanwhile, South America bans Falklands shipping.....

A South American association, Mercuro, the South American customs union has decided to ban Falklands Islands shipping from its ports.  It's not clear the impact of this just yet, but it is another step towards upsetting the inhabitants of the Falklands.

And now Argentina has become Chair of of Mercuro for 6 months, it is likely to lead to further restrictions on Falklands trade.

Recently, Spanish ships had to be given escorts by the Urugayan navy to protect them from the Argentine Navy, when heading to fishing grounds around the Falklands....(Argentina regards it as illegal fishing in their waters...)

Maybe the Duchess of Cambridge should head for Buenos Aires to do some shopping and mending fences with the locals, while her husband is flying helicopters on the Falklands?
