thankfully the falklands does not need any darwin plus funding from the oda. the falklands government should refuse to receive any since it has accumulated hundreds of millions of pounds in reserve funds built up by year on year surpluses both planned and unplanned. falklands gdp per capita was £76k in 2022 which is more than double the uk figure of £37k. falklands should be required to contribute 2.5% of gdp towards the cost of defence spending as should other bots. the freedom of the western world depends upon it. funding from oda should go to bots who are poorer than the mother country and not to any who are twice as rich!
