We're not. They are UK citizens that have chosen to move to foreign countries. Moreover, I'm sure some arrangement will be achieved.

Never sell out your own sunshine. The Falklands are already financial independent save for the defence costs. When the oil starts to be pumped (realistically about 2022 onwards) they'll be able to pay for defence too and if I'm not mistake it's the intention of the Falklands' government to repay some of the back dated defence costs. Oh, and the oil companies currently involved (Premier and Rockhopper) are UK registered so will pay tax to the UK Exchequer. There's already 1 billion barrels proven with a very good chance of more.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostIs it worth paying £80 million a year to protect 2900 people on the other side of the world?
We should cut them loose and put that money into the NHS.

I think we should rent out the island, like a giant BTL to the Argies.
