This has gone on for years
so the residents are free




[It will strengthen our role in safeguarding
global security, shut down any possibility
of the Indian Ocean being used as a
dangerous illegal migration route to the UK,
as well as guaranteeing our
long-term relationship with Mauritius,
a close Commonwealth partner,' he added.

The government said that Diego Garcia has
seen a small number of migrants arrive
and launch asylum claims since 2021.

It said the agreement to give
Mauritius sovereignty 'will shut down any
possibility of the Indian Ocean being used
as a dangerous illegal migration
route to the UK, with Mauritius
taking responsibility
for any future arrivals.']

So Labour get into power and they just start giving away our land?

What kind of pathetic country have we become?

Britain doesn't reveal it's handing over the islands.

LABOUR is. :mad:

And while we're about it, a missed opportunity to send all the migrants there for free.

Can't do that now. Idiot Starmer has gave the islands away. What a plank he is.

Makes Him look Good.

American and UK decision.
It makes sense

And so we just listen to America about what to do with our land now?

Lands that you lot stole. Jesus

Don't be daft this will have been in the pipeline for years and given that the UK and US are retaining rights to military access, it sounds more like a strategic decision than any sort of altruism, which will merely be an added PR convenience.

Yes back in the British Empire

I would love to go back in time.

Disgusting and vile

The governments of Mauritius and China have been increasing their ties in recent years,
with their respective national banks signing a bilateral currency agreement less than a
month ago, a fresh example of enhanced cooperation in the financial field between China
and Africa.

No it would fun.

Destroying other nations is fun is it? Saying that to someone who came from a country where a million people died of starvation and another million were forced to emigrate because of the british empire is pretty gross to say the least

Geopolitical expert Niamh please explain to me how are the Chagos Islands Mauritian?

Niamh has a right to be upset with what the hulk is saying. Go update your VPN and pretend you are travelling again

No, I would own a Castle


Sure Evil Times on the Ships.......

I would still like to know why she thinks they belong to Mauritius.

And whats your jealousy of me and my fabulous life got to do with this?

And also just to be clear these islands weren't stolen from anyone, they were uninhabited before european exploration.

The freedom fighter in you is coming out today neem.

Imported slaves who were deported a few years too late.

And we got pumped by the Vikings and Roman's, but so you still hear us bleating about it centuries later?

Oh quoting my post twice, aren't I popular. Did you notice this reply you've quoted was in response to Arista saying he wishes to go back to those days? Am I not allowed to respond to him? Or is it just the British who are allowed "bleat"?
