Default

According to this link on estimate is that

Quote:
it costs £400,000,000 per year to maintain the garrison, of one Infantry company, a Typhoon Flight and supporting staff,
And between the war around Las Malvenas and early February last year the cost of defending the islands was £12,000,000,000

How many hospital operations
How many school places
How many police officers
How many doctors
How many nurses

All to protect a bunch of people who do not generate a quarter of the cost of defending their squat.

Good money after bad!
