For the second day running, I think?

Is it any of his business? Should he be allowed a voice?

thank you, living in the States but having never gone there, I was unaware of an Independence movement....the only thing of note being that Cook christened the Islands when he said "Hi Where are we?" and that was bastardised.....

The Falklands are British,the folks there are British and want to be British.

Just because some C list American movie "star" thinks we should leave doesn't amount to much...
The Penn might well be mightier than the sword but we have Nuclear subs..

Take a hike buddy

Look Penn has the right to comment, he is also to the left of the Democrats and has spoken out about "occupation" for want of a better word for some time and other places.

I also suspect that this was well engineered by the left-leaning Uruquayans as well as the likes of Chavez.

Penn's left wing leanings are not appreciated by all in the States, even those in his profession. He has been vociferous in supporting that dangerous w*nker Hugo Chavez and that certainly is not appreciated by most Americans.

His support for Chavez even elicited a choice expression from his former co-star, Maria Conchita-Alonso in a row in the LA luggage area: 'And you are a communist a**hole! Is it great to live the way you do as a communist."
