Remember the old saying when feeling pleased "Blessed is he who expects nothing - for he shall not be disappointed" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot the compensation payments, return of artifacts, reinstatement of ancient burial mounds, and a formal apology from the King.

Apparently there is a large population in London of people from Chagos and they are up in arms about this. Their (Labour) mp was on the radio lambasting the decision. Remember, they have given the islands (archipelago) to Mauritius, not to the natives. All to appease China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 It occurs to me that IF we attempted to defend that tiny albeit significant outpost from Chinese aggression we'd get well and truly decimated. I wonder what it cost us to 'own' that location vs what we gain from it these days rather than our empirical days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
