THE UK has given permission for test drilling for oil in the Falkland Islands.
If the tests prove promising and rewarding, what will the UK’s profits be spent on?
Maggie Thatcher spent the profits of North Sea oil on keeping three million people unemployed.
Tony Blair spent them on countless wars, encouraging single mothers to have yet more children and to discourage marriage with tax disadvantages for those who decided to declare their love publicly, ie marriage.
What will the Falkland Island oil money be squandered on?
