Papelón de un exasesor de Thatcher contra Argentina: pidió que FIFA la expulse por defender la causa Malvinas
(Regional 97.3) Nile Gardiner, former adviser to Margaret Thatcher, sparked controversy after Argentina’s victory over England in the World Cup 2026 semifinal in Atlanta, United States. Following the defeat, Gardiner called for the removal of work visas in the United Kingdom for Argentine players competing in the Premier League. Among those who played as starters were Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez, Cristian “Cuti” Romero, Lisandro Martínez, Enzo Fernández, and Alexis Mac Allister.

In a post on his official X account (formerly Twitter), where he has nearly 70,000 followers, Gardiner—a contributor to the Daily Telegraph—wrote that “every Argentine player in the English Premier League who took part in this ugly anti-British display should be stripped of his UK work visa.” He added that “there should be zero tolerance for this.”
Gardiner continued with further statements on X. He claimed that “Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands in 1982,” that Lionel Scaloni’s national team “disgraced the World Cup,” and called for FIFA to expel Argentina. He described albiceleste fans at the World Cup as “barbarians,” labeled their behavior as “third-world,” and engaged in exchanges with Vice President Victoria Villarruel and Chancellor Pablo Quirno.
