  In an interview with The Nation newspaper about Argentinean immigrants to England (though he was born in Uruguay) , Carlos Cortiglia admits to volunteering to fight for the Argentinean military dictatorship against Britain during the Falklands war. We provide Carlos Cortiglia’s original Spanish interview with the English translation:
  
  Original from here.
  
  “Soy argentine oriental, o dicho de otro modo, uruguayo de nacimiento, y me siento muy ligado emocionalmente a la Republica Argentina. En 1982 me ofreci como voluntario par ir a las Islas Malvinas”.
  
  Translation:
  
  "I am Argentine East, in other words, Uruguayan by birth, and I feel very emotionally linked to Argentina. In 1982 I volunteered to go to the Falkland Islands”.
  
  So, here we have Carlos Cortiglia admitting in his own words that he fought against Britain. So, why is he in the UK as a BNP member, writer and past candidate? In 1982 Argentina was under the tight grip of a fascist-supporting military dictatorship. Desperate to shore up its nationalist credentials, the military junta invaded the British Falkland Islands, claiming them as Argentinean territory. 258 British soldiers and sailors lost their lives in the recapture of the Falkland Islands. Another 777 British soldiers and sailors were wounded, some of whom died of their injuries after the war. Yet the BNP fielded Carlos Cortiglia as a candidate for the London Assembly and to this very day permits him membership of the BNP. If it is true that Carlos Cortiglia fought against British forces, then there is the possibility that Carlos Cortiglia killed British soldiers and sailors. This aside, Carlos Cortiglia would have been involved in the illegal armed occupation of British sovereign territory.
  
  Not only this, but Carlos Cortiglia tells us how his family in Uruguay supported the Nazis during World War 2 in their fight against Britain and that his family owned slaves! He further recounts how he met in the 1970s former Nazi officers, including SS commanders in Montevideo, Uruguay. This is one hell of a BNP member!"
  
  As I said BNP = Hypocrisy. This man is an immigrant for starters. Not only that an anti British one too.
  Lets Rock and Roll Karl and Tony, what ya got to tell us all about this. You morons. No I would say better still two faced morons. How many times you got to be told I aint Piggott, Tom or any other figment of your over active imagination. THankyou ..ROFL ;)

  I heard that the journalist mistook a man with a similiar name Cortiglia and has now propagated it to be Carlos Cortiglia. He himself denies it.
  Let's be careful of just believing what we read."
