When did you start caring, untitled?

Farage is entirely corrrect, no matter who the Government in power is.

Only people who have a vested interest in a certain voew could argue otherwise.  At present we dont live in a dictatorship although it is increasingly looking that way.

He doesnt Naomi, not unless you are a terrorist then he will go marching for you.

The Chagos Islands is a godforsaken part of the Indian Ocean.  You might wonder how we "own" it in the first place, and should keep it no matter what, if we are not a "dictatorship".  The fact is that we don't own it. That has been recognised for some time, under both Conservative and Labour governments, and finally the process that started (rightly) under a Conservative government has concluded (rightly) under a Labour government.

The Island of Diego Garcia in the Chagos arcipelago is of immense strategic importance in an increasingly dangerous World. Bright people have always known this, the not so bright will need to be shown. The Chinese and terrorist organisations know for instance, and are getting ready to occupy the now  unprotected uninhabited Islands in the chain. This is deliberate sabotage of Western interests by an administration in hock to an eastern religous entity. It follows a pattern if you care to, or dare to, look. It now emerges that baroness Uddin the muslim peer who swindled £125,000 from public funds, was not prosecuted by the then DPP(you're ahead of me now aren't you) Kier Starmer for lack of evidence,(She had confessed) and she paid back the embezzled cash with a gift from Palli Alli! Is Starmer being blackmailed by this character about something he is desperate to hide? He shames us all. 

What were Truss and Sunak doing?

In 1998? Dunno. Blier was conducting the corruption. 

Then Brown until 2010. Remember he sold all the gold when prices were at an all time low then raided the pension plans of millions. Thieving bunch of sociopaths.  

“You might wonder how we "own" it in the first place…”

You’re right to enclose “own” in inverted commas. However, you need wonder no more.

The Chagos Islands were uninhabited until the late 1700s, when the French established plantations there.

As far as I can gather, the islands only had an association with Mauritius via the French. They took control of Mauritius in 1715 and although that island had been previously inhabited, at that time it had been virtually abandoned because of destruction by large colonies of Macaque monkeys. It was from Mauritius that the French embarked on their adventures in the Chagos islands where they set up their plantations using slave labour.

During the Napoleonic Wars Britain invaded the French colony of Mauritius and that island, along with the Chagos were ceded to Britain under the Treaty of Paris which ended the wars in 1814. In line with the previous French practice, the Chagos were administered by Britain from Mauritius.

In the early 1960s the UK was negotiating with the USA for a military base to be set up on Diego Garcia and as part of that the UK formerly detached Chagos from all links with Mauritius

When  Mauritius gained its independence in 1965, both Mauritius and the Chagos were separate UK territories The independence treaty made it clear that the Chagos were a separate UK territory and did not form part of Mauritius. The Mauritius authorities agreed to this detachment (possibly aided by a £3m grant) and from 1965 the islands became part of the newly formed British Indian Ocean Territory. A clause in the independence treaty agreed that the UK would cede the islands to Mauritius when no longer required for defence purposes.

“The fact is that we don't own it. That has been recognised for some time, under both Conservative and Labour governments…

I wouldn’t quite put it that way. In 2019 the UN declared that the UK was in violation of its Resolutions banning the dismembering of  colonies upon their independence, and passed a resolution that the Chagos were part of Mauritius. This was despite the 1965 agreement where Mauritius accepted that the Chagos were not part of their territory. All the UK government recognised was that it was on the wrong end of a decision made by an organisation not well known for siding with members  who formerly ran colonies. Maurittius had never been formerly linked with the Chagos Islands in the form of a single territory; it was simply used by the French and the UK as the base for their administration.

To be fair to the current shower of a government, negotiations to resolve this dispute have been ongoing for some years and if it was not Starmer handing them over it would have been somebody else.

But all of this makes little odds because there is not a cat in hell’s chance of the USA quitting its base on Diego Garcia any time soon and whilst they are there nobody will be allowed to live on the Chagos Islands unless they are part of the US:UK enterprise there.
