Falkland Islanders celebrate demise of the 'Botox Queen' Cristina Kirchner and welcome new president

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/falklandislands/12012886/Falkland-Islanders-celebrate-demise-of-the-Botox-Queen-Cristina-Kirchner-and-welcome-new-president-Mauricio-Macri.html

--------------------------
For the last eight years Argentina's combative and charismatic President Cristina Kirchner has been more than a little "funny". Her pronouncements have drifted foghorn-like across from the mainland, whether it's calling the islanders "squatters" or threatening to prosecute British oil companies.


So it was with some glee that the political end of the "Botox Queen" was celebrated on social media after her favoured successor, Daniel Scioli, was defeated.


"Turn off the lights on your way out," wrote one Falkland Islander.


"Hopefully their new president will focus on their prosperity vs trying to ruin ours," said another.
