Apparently Trumpy is exploring the idea of purchasing the Chagos Islands from Mauritius, after Starmer and Lammy meekly surrender them and the Union Flag is pulled down. ::)
What a humiliation that would be! ::) Although I suppose it would save the reported £9 billion of taxpayers cash that those idiots have agreed to pay to rent the base. On the other hand Trump will surely charge us, if we want to keep a military presence there? ???
Farcical! :-X

Why on earth would our government do this? :-\
The Chagos Islands are about 1500 miles away from Mauritius. :-\
In his woke lefty way of his Starmer was on about 'righting wrongs of the (colonial) past'

I used to wish someone would shoot Donald. My wishes have moved closer to home.

There's a good queue for the first and looks like one forming for the later!!

Mauritius would probably beat us now.

All we seem to do now is .. give up, so unfortunately you’re probably right😵💫

Wasn’t the concept of handover initiated by the previous government ie the Tories?
Quite seriously a government of OOFers could do a better job. We just keep on sleep walking into the hands of the Chinese, Russians and Indians. Thankfully the Iranians are seen for what they are.

It was never theirs in the first place. ::)
It's just an accident of history that the Chagos Islands were administered by the Brits from Mauritius as were the Seychelles, although they later became a Crown Colony in their own right. So are Mauritius going to try to claim the Seychelles next? ::)
The Establishment have possibly opened a pandora's box here with their insane 'decolonisation' drive, as all kinds of places were administered by the British colonial authorities from other places, often thousands of miles away. The Maldives and Somaliland for example were administered from British India. As there is now apparently a legal precedent, can India claim The Maldives and Somaliland? ???

He's a bit dodery, but the Senator of Louisiana makes several valid observations.

This article in the Times (https://archive.ph/mwVmH) claims that Starmer is pushing ahead with ceding the Chagos Islands and that the Mauritian PM Navin Ramgoolam claims that in the renegotiation Starmer has made significant concessions, including offering Mauritius complete sovereignty over Diago Garcia, the island with the military base, and has doubled the payment from £9bn to £18bn! :o WTF! >:(
More details from Guido (https://order-order.com/2025/02/04/labour-offers-mauritius-18-billion-after-hermer-intervenes-in-chagos-surrender/#comments), and it seems that Starmer, Philip Sands, the Mauritius Attorney General and Richard Hermer the UK Attorney General are old chums. :-X
So the question is, why is Starmer so hell bent on pushing this through? ???
And why are Labour being so secretive about it? ??? As it seems that what details we know, have come from the Mauritian PM when he briefs his MP's! ::) :-\

Was Starmer seen coming out of the Attorney Generals office clutching a brown envelope.
-
Tell you what though.....
That Mauritian Prime Minister looks like a wily old bastard, and I bet his interest is more about the cash than the islands. His Swiss bank account will probably be looking much healthier when it's stuffed full of British taxpayers cash! ::)
It will look even healthier when he sells the islands on to Donald Trump! :o :-X ;D

Something stinks about all this Ronny, that's for sure! :-X ::)

Looks like another treasonous Labour government.

The old boy is correct.
However, the left of politics thinks we need to atone for our white colonial ways. Starmer is embarrassed by the UK past.

Why don’t he fk off then bloody bastard

In the not so distant past, people like him would have been thrown in the Tower, before being hung, drawn and quartered. ::)
I wonder what the likes of Disraeli, Palmerston and Wellesley would make of it all? ???

We have well and truly lost the plot.

Yes indeed we have it’s sad😟

The US will not allow this farce to carry on much longer.

Well, if he buys it as derelict land at a fair price, even Bob the Builder would be able to turn a profit on that project.

They're a bit like the rest of my body, muscular and strong. Unfortunately you can't see that because the covering is a little bit loose. :(

Yes I know what you mean like having a massive pair of overalls on.
