Hooray For Donald Trump!

Given all that's going on in the world, even if a laudable idea, now is the entirely wrong time to consider something like this.

And it was going to cost (UK taxpayers?) a minimum of £100 million per year? With some reports suggesting it would be much much more. MMmmm I don't know, maybes better using that money towards trying to fix some of the ongoing issues on UK soil?

no doubt Starmer would put it down as defence spending and claim a win.

Chagos is UK soil, and we need as much UK soil as we can get.

"Starmy" has been forced to eat **** by Trump

No it was Kieth's spin doctors

Remember the fundamentals behind all this:

Trump is a patriot, loves his country and wants the best for its people.

Especially the Epsteen victims

Starmer is a communist who hates his country and its people, and wants to give territory and wealth away to other countries.

He's about to leave the ECHR, wait and see.

It’s the UK empire which we’ve been giving back since the Great War changed the world order.

In 1965, the UK provided a £3 million grant to Mauritius, then a British colony, to detach the Chagos Archipelago and establish it as the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT). This detachment was a condition for Mauritius's independence.

It seems ridiculous that there was no repayment or fee as part of the new deal.

I bet he's massively relieved. Trump has got him out of a sticky mess.

Its principally about de colonising not contracts. The fee in reality was the lease back which was a sensible negotiated compromise. Got to laugh at all the fake torey empathy towards the Chagossians. We need the islands less than we need the Falklands. Time to re invade Australia, plenty of mineral wealth there.

we bought it off them as part of the deal, now they want us to sell it back for £0 and pay rent. What stinker of a deal.

I hope you are right, but I think labour are doubling down.

Trumpf would be proud of that

Notional sale, in practice giving up sovereignty
