It was a previous Labour government that signed a Treaty to establish the US/Uk joint base on the Chagos islands.It was a Labour government that ordered the islanders to leave their homeland. It is now a Labour government that gives the islands away without consulting the Chagossians. Worse still they now order Chagossians off their islands under threat of 3 years in prison and forceful eviction.
This is the government’s worst deed to date. A government that says it has no power to detain or deport strangers with no UK connections or rights arriving illegally at Dover asserts the right to evict people from their former homeland for the second time.
The disgraceful contradictions abound. This government said it wanted to give away the Chagos out of colonial guilt. Yet it is trying to do so yet again ignoring and abusing the islanders pit did treat badly in the 1960 s. It cannot stand a single local returning to a Chagos island away from the Diego base, yet it countenances Mauritius and maybe the Chinese being free to settle the other islands. It thinks it can throw islanders off their islands but claims it cannot stop illegals coming to the UK and demanding free hotels.
All this is immoral and deeply anti British.

Deeply anti British. That sums up these clowns in a nutshell.
I served my country for 9 years, 6 in nuclear submarines and was proud to do so. I wouldn’t lift a finger for this pile of filth in Westminster who are a total embarrassment.
We can’t afford another 3 years of this wholesale corruption.

You are boring when you become party political.

I agree. In foreign policy we often treat foreigners abominably: steal their resources, starve them, bomb them, force cultural changes upon them. We have usually had a reason/excuse that many if not most of us accept, be it self interest or a belief in our moral superiority. We may accept it reluctantly but accept it we do.
In this case we are doing something really cruel that harms us and the foreigners. We’ve compounded our damage: grab their land, evict them summarily with no effective compensation, pay another foreign state to take it, try to lock the inhabitants up if they return.
Worse still our government claims the moral high ground, appealing to a technocrat’s vision of “international law”. It just goes to show how dangerous, immoral and cruel our leadership is, and how they put their misguided beliefs above anyone else’s, including us. They are psychopathic.
