Tumbledown (1/12)

[leeham991]

I am mildly amused by the amount of anguish the Argentines still have about this war. I don't think they had the right for anguish in the first place, what with being an unprovoked invader, but for 30 years later still having a daily trumpet calls for the Argentine losses; ridiculous to the point of hilarity.

Step on Britain's arse and Britain will shove a beyonet up yours.

[Gold3nW3r3wolf]

My dad knows the man who got shot! I still havnt met him but my dad says he's really nice!

[brummiejojo]

[wigarmy]

[TheGlitzieGirl1]

Just seen it on BBC4 - what an incredible film! Brilliant in direction, acting, filming - and a biting indictment of Thatcher and her government! Thanks again for posting it here.

[marguer1]

Its on bbc 4 10pm monday

[agaichapter25]

When the cries of FIX BAYONETS!! rang out on the cold plains of the Falklands you can be assured that the enemy could taste the fear has the Brits got down to the dirty task in hand....there are no good wars and they leave people destroyed physically and mentally.

[MrJonnyboyification]

[bobgrantsbus]

Great performance by Colin Firth in a modern day hero story.

@CheckEngine99 yeah chuck norris won!

[bhoyjack]

@lebleufleur Chuck doesn't do press-ups - he pushes the world down..

[khi590]

good anti-war movie - Robert Lawrence hemiparalysed - but well-in shape after half his brains were shot away- brave to fight the responsibles -those sitting in safe armchairs: ordering the killing, watching, might be winning battles, and then denying any failures (even if these includes own wounded soldiers only ;-(

[hernannDpg]

malvinas son argentinas , vasta de colonialismo.

[onetwoeight2]

Just to point out, the Royal Marines and the Blues and Royals, among others, also took part in the battle......

[5westover]

Robert Lawrence was not paralysed from his injuries he was paralysed on his left arm from the elbow down and that is the only injury!

[ferni1glass]

hay cosas que no son para toda la vida entre ellas las malvinas

[CheckEngine99]

@ferni1glass para toda la vida d elos britanicos

[CheckEngine99]

@ferni1glass yo hablo que no son toda la vida para los britanicos tonto, y a que te refieres conque siria y asia es un aliado??, y cuando respondas un comentario enemigo de Argentina hacelo con agresividad, saludos

[grengd]

@CheckEngine99 A shambles of a war. would not have happened I suspect, had Argentina had a democratic government at the time. Not a Military Junta.

Bonne fourtuna mi amigo

[newellgirl]

Excellent postings of Falklands War Portal..Superb example of the professionalism of the British Army circa 1980's

[hernanzentner]

@newellgirl Con ayuda yanki, los ingleses no tomaron Tumbledown, los infantes de marina se retiraron al agotar la municion.

[29Gixxer]

@sterlingmenthol77

Britania rules the waves!

[ggwillym]

[Rentaghost76]

Los Malvinas Son Argentinas! Die, Brit colonial scum!

[JamesCunnyy]

no we claimed in 1690 when they where unihabited then we and french settledown french leave and spain outnumbered us off the islands then in 1811 handed them to you then you left for a year then returned then in 1833 america destroyed your base as your where pirating their ships they offered it to us when we get there your back so we make you leave and british since then so we where first there and are last there if anyone is beig an imperial colonist its argentina

[malvreb]

@JamesCunnyy

Did you read the history of your old country? Malvinas is part of Argentina and South America, since it become independent from Spain 200 years ago, it is not part of the UK nor Europe.

[mrgeorgeallison]

@malvreb Actually, it IS part of the UK (no one is claiming Europe) whether you think that is legal or illegal, IT IS PART OF THE UK but the debate is if it should or should not be part. If it is not part of the UK the government people and UN seem to have other ideas. I'm simply saying, even if you believe it is illegal, it still is part of the UK.

[malvreb]

@mrgeorgeallison

It is not part of the UK, thousands of miles away, it is illegally occupied by the UK.

[mrgeorgeallison]

@malvreb That's what I'm saying, even if you believe it is illegal, it is still part of the UK, distance is not a factor in this, political control is. It is part of the UK because the UK administers it. If a country needs to deal with the Falklands it contacts the UK, not Argentina because it is British territory (even if it is illegal or not). The islands use the British flag as they are part of the UK. I am not saying this is legal or illegal just that this is currently the case. Understand?

[TheStarWarsNerd]

go die u argie bastard, leave the past behind you we claimed them in the 1600s, and if you invaded again well, lets just say Ive done my research on Wikipedia and it looks like we, The United Kingdom Of Great Britain, have a navel force over 5 times the size of the Argentine navy. so id say you would get jolly well destroyed.

[badmofker]

lol.. you're a pussy argie my dead granma could put up a better fight that your lot.

accept it Brits are your superiors.

[mrgeorgeallison]

@Rentaghost76 You're right to say that, international law works by how many times people can say what they believe. If you say it again I have no doubt the British will give in.

[ThoughtTraveler]

I respect all of the men who fought against unlawful Argentine aggression. I hope Robert Lawrence is doing ok.

What angers me most about the Falklands War is all of the bleeding heart weeping over the General Belgrano. Give me a break.

What everyone forgets is that the Argentine Government was in 82 a Brutal Dictatorship that killed thousands of its own people as well as staring an unprovoked war in the South Atlantic.

[ConnorFerguson08]

does anyone know which song that is at the start that says 'i will go will go when the fighting is over' and where i could get it?

[phoebewilkinson]

@ConnorFerguson08

It's sung by the Corries

[nylonTS]

Great film

Its only been on TV once I think

[Arizonarhodie]

I seen it here in the states a number of years ago on a cable channel.

[DutchPetriot]

Why where the Scottish and Welsh guards send to the Falklands?? why not the Rifles? why not the Highlanders??

[sapperhutch]

Guards were considered better, big robust men were recruited into the guards in the 80's. The rifles didn't even exist then anyway. The Rifles were made up of several other regiments in the 90's.

[theblackmafia71]

The Rifles did'nt exist in the 90's they were called The Royal Green Jackets and as for (better) yeah really????

[sapperhutch]

Obviously they were better since Paras, Marines, Guards and Gurkhas went down south and the chippy RGJ stayed at home. I'd only use the fucking RGJ if I needed to murder a woman with a shovel.

[rdjhardy]

Oi, that an RGJ battle honour!

[alvindurochermtl]

Units are never chosen on an individual basis to go to war. WG and SG were sent to the Falklands because they happened to be in the same infantry brigade which was chosen for the Task Force.  There were no rifle and highland regiments in the brigade and hence none was sent.

[Arizonarhodie]

No they where picked , because of the old boy network. Read Unorthodox soilder, By Lt. Col. Tim Spicer OBE, he admits it. also Mj Gen, Moore states as such.

[jackhemphill1]

because the SG's and WG's were on public duties in london at the time and therefore not attached to the british army of the rhine, or assigned as reinforcments to them. the government did not weaken BAOR during the war because of the soviet threat at the time

[Strompy82]

I guess it depended on which regiment was not busy at the time. The Royal Marines and the two para battalions were always going to do the bulk of the fighting, so the others were just what was available at the particular time.

[DutchPetriot]

The Beautiful British Landscape

[theblackmafia71]

Ive actually been on MT Tumbledown when my unit was in the falklands (not the war i was 11 at the time) i think its the largest feature of all the mountains on east falkland,

[DeejayDREAM]

I am from China. Thanks.:)

[annie2shoes]

This is what I wrote: THANK YOU for uploading this important film. Margaret Thatcher hated it and it hasn't been repeated on tv, not that I know. Colin Firth is brilliant as Robert Lawrence.

[FalklandsPortal]

Thanks for your comment, Annie. I don't think I deleted your post, but apologise if it got mixed into the ''malvinas argentinas, british fucks... etc'' pile! Thanks again.

[annie2shoes]

How terrible! I didn't realise the scale of abuse. I am sorry. I think all Colin Firth fans will now see this, from the US to Romania, Turkey, Poland and Australia! Let's hope so, well done.

[hessy11]

its going to be repeted soon or so it said in the newspaper

[annie2shoes]

Oh, good! Have you any idea when? Thanks!

[MovieMad007]

@annie2shoes i remember the tv debate afterwards!!!

[annie2shoes]

What happened to my comment?
