Britain Gives 280 MILLION to Military Industrial Complex to Boost Falklands Islands Defences

21st Century Wire says…
While mainland Britain is under devastating austerity measures, the British government is spending 280 million on boosting its defences… in the Falklands Islands.
This should not be seen as a response to any particular threat to the contested British territory, but instead as a payoff to the Military Industrial Complex – through an expansion of the UK defence budget. This thesis stems back to the British government’s refusal to go to war with Syria.
