Greyman 33,675 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Meanwhile while the MSM continues to cry about the obamas being put in monkey suits, the Dow just went over 50k for the first time and the murder rates are lower than before 1900 in the states but orange man still nasty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From what I understand Mauritius and the Chagos Islands were part of the UK’s British Indian Ocean Territories. They were separate countries but administered by the same Foreign Office department. Mauritius gained independence from the UK during our “retreat from east of Suez” in 1968, but we kept the Chagos islands. Mauritius NEVER owned them or had a claim to them but in recent years decided to ask the International Court of Justice to rule on who owned them The court gave a NON - BINDING judgement that the Uk should negotiate with Mauritius about handing them over. The Tory’s started the negotiations but when David Cameron was Foreign Secretary he said there was no basis in law to give them up and put a stop to the negotiations. Then along came Starmer and Lord Hermer, both human rights lawyers and their pal and colleague Phillips Sands who works for the Mauritius government and decided to give the islands to Mauritius and pay £36 BILLION to Mauritius!!!! Thats my understanding of it Cheers. Edited February 7 by chartpolski 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Almost 100% but none of them live on the islands, we kicked them of when we let the Americans use Diego Garcia. The Chagos islanders now mainly live in Mauritius and Crawley, but almost none of them were born on Chagos but would like to live on their ancestral lands. Mauritius and Starmer are using UN rulings to take over/give away the islands, but with delicious irony, the UN has now said the islanders human rights and wishes should be taken into consideration, Leaving the human rights lawyer Starmer with an almost impossible dilemma; give the Chagos islands to Mauritius and trample on the islanders human rights or ignore a UN court and not give the islands away !!

You had an ex labour MP on GB News yesterday banging on about how great The Chagos deal was smugly saying the USA had signed off on the deal. They went for a break and breaking news on the return was Trump had tweeted to say what a shit deal it was and how it put ours and the USA's security at risk. The MP proceeded to slag off Trump, he was a loose cannon and congress wouldnt be happy. He could find a cure for cancer and the MSM and the left would still hate him! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
