Yesterday I read a fascinating article from "Hogarth" on Andrew Brons' BNP Ideas Site. I think it is fair to say that the gloves have well and truly come off and the search for a bit of 3x2 inwhich to hammer a couple of six inch nails a couple of lengths of pipe and some motorbike chain is well and truly on.
But one statement in the article puzzled me. The claim is made that the man who won by nine votes has endorsed as London Mayoral Candidate one Carlos Cortiglia, who, it was claimed, has professed some pride in volunteering in 1982 to fight against the United Kingdom in the Falklands.
I felt that such a statement deserved a little research. It is quite clear that whoever he is, Carlos seems to be the main author behind the London Patriot (a site google now tags as a malware site as they say it tried on more than one occasion to dump dodgy software on their spiders when they went calling). It is also clear the man is a pathological supporter of Nick G and his nine vote majority.
However, I cannot find any reference to him being a mayoral candidate, much less being endorsed by Nick. If anyone has a link to such, say something ! I did however find one claim that the man was "East Argentine, i.e. Uruguayan, and voluntered to fight against the United Kingdom in the Falklands. That claim was made on the site owned by "Our Friends In The North" and what a surprise the "link" they provided as evidence went straight to a 404 Not Found, or "Pagina No Disponible".
So, who can provide me with something ot back up the claim ?

Uruguayo de nacimiento, argentino por elección y en Inglaterra
"Soy argentino oriental, o dicho de otro modo, uruguayo de nacimiento, y me siento muy ligado emocionalmente a la República Argentina. En 1982 me ofrecí como voluntario para ir a las Islas Malvinas. Todo nació de mi gran interés por la historia y por haber crecido nutrido por los ideales de lo que podría haber sido y finalmente no fue. Esto me llevó finalmente a involucrarme en la carrera periodística que, en definitiva, fue lo que me trajo al Reino Unido". Así se presenta Carlos Cortiglia.
I am indebted to you both
