.............is at it again......and is now re-opening talks on slave reperations for the colonies affected by the naughty British

the figure the colonies are looking for is a mere £18 trillion squids.....

that sure is some black hole in the making....

Apparently the Chagos islands 'deal' is going to cost us 50 Billion pounds. Yes, 50 Billion for the privilege of giving away our territory. A territory with huge strategic importance, particularly in relation to China. All while Labour is freezing our pensioners to death over a fictional funding blackhole. You couldn't make it up.

This.  They are the enemy within x 1000.

[TOPGUN749]

This useless government say that they can’t afford to give pensioners £4 a week towards their heating bills,but find plenty for lots of other ridiculous schemes! 

[Dougy]

He's not running the country as a British citizen and a prime minister for the UK.  He's doing what he thinks is right as a human rights lawyer. He needs outing NOW !!! 

[Good shot?]

Only Labour supporters can save us by acting from within against this corrupt government it would seem.

Do you know why Labour want to give away the Chagos Islands? Because it is a British Colony, no other reason, woke ideology.

Not in any great detail, but its got something to do with violation of something that our prime minister does not agree as a human rights lawyer, and thinks giving it back to Mauritius will give him a gold plated seat at the right hand of God when his time comes, sooner rather than later.  

We have had it since the early 1800's after France gave it up (i think) we were gifted it no cost then but it certianly will cost this time if starmer has his way. 

Surly someone must stop this, he is well aware of the consequences if he goes ahead with a deal. 

The Chagos Islands were uninhabited until their discovery by Portuguese explorers in the 16th century.

France seized control of the 60 or so islands in the 18th century, and imported slaves from Africa to work on their coconut plantations.

In 1814, the islands were officially declared a British colony and became part of the British Indian Ocean Territory during the Cold War.

A major joint British-US military facility was built on Diego Garcia, the largest island, in 1971. The site was later used to launch air strikes during the Persian Gulf War, the US-led attacks on Afghanistan and the beginning of the Iraq war.

In 2000, the UK High Court ruled that the decision to expel the Chagossians, the island’s indigenous inhabitants, between 1967 and 1973 was illegal. However, this was overturned in 2008 following a successful appeal in the House of Lords.

In 2019, the International Court of Justice, the UN’s highest court, ruled that the UK’s administration of the territory was “unlawful” and must end. The UK has ignored the ruling on the grounds that it was advisory

No back, just give it to Mauritius. Mauritius has never had a claim to them.

[JohnfromUK]

It was Margaret Thatcher who said "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”

They are still able to take it from us too easily and give it away to the Chagos islands, India as foreign aid, migrants, France to direct migrants to the channel, the train drivers not to operate trains, the wind farms not to generate power on windy days, the NHS to keep growing (the waiting list.

It's called growth - growing the way they spend our money on what we don't want.

When they have spent it all, inflation, unemployment and interest rates are sky high and the coffers are empty in the treasury they will be voted out and leave a note saying "Sorry, there's no money left ....."        and we will get a different administration who will bring in "Austerity Mk X" for 15 years and they will just about get things back on track - much obstructed and hampered by the civil service and the Labour opposition - and Labour will gvet back in .

It's a cycle.

[hushpower]

Labour will never get in again the amount of hate for them is overwhelming 

[Mungler]

The Labour government just don’t have the brain power, skill set or economic understanding to make their government work. They are fuelled on socialist ideology and nothing else.

It is odd though how we ended up with this bunch of morons and I think we are witnessing the end of the uniparty metropolitan elite who have well and truly trashed this country over the last 30 years. We can all see it clearly as day now. 

It’s all very odd.

Exactly

Mauritius has only existed as a nation since 1968, we had the islands for over 200 years. Where did this idea we should  give it back?

Yes but Reform is a Limited company not a political party.  Nigel Farage and a bunch of people I have never heard of and probably neither has anyone on here ever heard of.
