THEY DO NOT WANT DETAILS COMING OUT AND KNOWN AS IT WILL SHOW THE FREEBIES ATTACHED TO THE DEAL ??????
Conservative is finish for next 20 year
Why do you need a negotiator when you’re giving it away and paying for the privilege?
Labour doo gooders, at it again, how does giving something you own and have possession of, away protect your ability to use it.
you wouldn't give your car away to make sure you can still drive it, there's no sense to it at all, only virtue signalling.
Why give it away at all if there is no obligation to do so????
We need Trumps influence 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 we need Trump help for the British people 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢
Act 1. Loosing Chagos
Act 2. Loosing the Falklands
Labour are traitors
Starmer is a traitor and should be tried for treason
Finally some fireworks 🎉!!!
he Chagos Archipelago has always been and remains a territory of Mauritius!!!
The Chagossians are Mauritian citizens and not British!!!
It was racist British Civil Servants as well as British politicians who referred to them as 'Men-Fridays, savages, people of no-fixed abode' Mauritius has always referred to them as Chagossians.
The Chagossians were forcibly removed from their legitimate abode by Britain! A task carried out by US soldiers at gunpoint!!! Their domestic animals were shot.. Their dogs were gassed alive by American soldiers.
The Chagossians were forcibly embarked on an un-seaworthy dirty boat that was being used to carry guano!!!
The Chagossians in Crawley, are being forced by Britain to take an anti- Mauritius stand! They face deportation if they highlight British inhumanity towards their elders!!!
Chagossians did take part in the hearings that took place at the International Court of Justice(ICJ)
It's similar to taking a stand, against genocidal Zionist Israel in Britain, where people, including journalists, telling the truth, are being harassed 24/7 by Zionists who are in charge of Britain and America!!!
Britain is flagging its status as a colony of the Zionists!
The clown presenting this distorted account about the Chagos issue has deliberately failed to mention Gibraltar, the Malvinas, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania that have lined up to terminate their own individual illegal occupation by Britain and America!!!
America itself is an illegally occupied territory! 100 million Natives, the actual owners of America have been murdered in cold blood by Britain and other European invaders!!!
There's also a line of communication between the US and Mauritius about the future of the base, in Diego Garcia! Britain is not involved, as it has been kept out at the request of Mauritius!
As far as Mauritius is concerned, Britain has no say in the matter. It has only an observer status as an American poodle!
America did open its first diplomatic mission in Mauritius during the war of American Independence when Britain was being given the boot by the Americans.Some special relationship!!!
Donald Trump only yesterday said that the world would be better place if it were jointly managed by America and China!
In the meantime, Britain has re-opened its diplomatic mission in North Korea!!!
The Chagos Archipelago can be reached by air in less than two hours!
Britain is situated some 7000 miles from the Chagos Archipelago!!! 12000 miles away from America!
It is high time to do away with this obnoxious gimmick Diego Garcia is needed for the defense, of the so-called West!
Mrs Margaret Thatcher stated in 1989-90, that the Chagos Archipelago would be returned to Mauritius when basically, the then prevailing Cold War ends!!!
Nigel Farage rant is just that rant!
This inhuman treatment of the Chagossians by Britain and America was enacted behind the backs of both the British and American people… in the usual 'total secrecy'! A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY!!!
Most of the buffoons vomiting their obnoxious bile, have exactly no clue, about what the entire issue of the Chagos Archipelago is all about!
The rejection, of the hastily concocted 'political agreement', in October 2024, has been rejected, by the newly elected Mauritian government, as the latter, is of the opinion that Britain, has no say whatsoever in the matter!!!
Britain is not surrendering the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius! Britain is RETURNING the Chagos Archipelago to its rightful owner, that is Mauritius.
Ditto, for Hong Kong, which has been returned to its rightful owner China, after the ending of a 99-year lease signed by the two countries!
Australia is next on the card! King Charles can illuminate the thick morons at GB News!
One has to wonder how much involvement Chinese spies are behind this, it's not like they have any access to our parliment or palace…
Both Patal and Farage are talentless gravy train riders.
Well the king shod dowe something about starmer insead. Of ave is head up is ……….
Liebour Are EVIL!!… 🙁
If the Tories went through eleven rounds of negotiations without making a deal then THERE ISN’T A GOOD DEAL FOR THE UK TO BE MADE!
Simple Liebour.
The public did not give permission for Labour to give away our sovereign territory.
what a rant saying sweet FA
Apart from the handful the rest are a load of d¿¿¿heads in there, so glad I never chose politics as an earner 😂
There should be No giving away of any British Islands until All Parties have put it to the People / & explained Why ? I SmeLL A RAT `.. Or A Huge BUNG OF CASH !!
Funny How LAMMY Did A BUNK & RAN AWAY Hmmm ??
Of Course They Dont know the full Details ? Coz the LIEBOUR Party wont tell anyone , You couldnt make this B.S UP
I think when Trump moves into the white house in January he will throw a spanner in the works and these Labour morons will not no what to do.
Ah yes the Chagos islands, just off the M25, a very traditional British place, I remember reading about the Vikings sailing over and how the cobblers and Blacksmiths formed the resistance to ensure its belonged to its ancestral roots. Do they still hold the annual pie throwing contest?
Shambles
Let the people of that island decide for themselves.
Because the Falkland island are not going to be given is it. ?
Labour don’t achieve anything of worthwhile benefit to the UK
The islands have been in dispute for ever, its about time this was sorted out one way or another and with an agreement to keep the military base intact whilst keeping good relations is all good in my book, we are no longer in the dark ages and colonisation is a thing of the past, under the tories we lost the ranking of been an elite fighting force, it is about time we rebuilt our reputation of been an elite fighting force and been number one again.
Its about time we have some politicians that actually act on the issues on the world sate in favour of the UK's interest, well done.
Obviously he doesn't understand he is pissing off our best hope ….Donald Trump.
There's no native population from Diego Garcia, anybody who was there was put there by the French and us, and they have no natural right to return. End of really. The idea that there has to be some sort of deal is patently absurd, it is British territory and to claim it isn't is both absurd and more importantly treasonous.
For all those low educated people who are saying that you have to pay for a land which you own, I have a question?: Did you ever go cruising at a place by ship? So that land becomes yours? British went sailing the indian ocean, they found a Virgin Island. They said its mine. Tomorrow I will go sailing on a remote island and I will say Its MINE now! Its a MAD concept! Believe me. They were all not educated. The world has evolved.
Trump will put this deal firmly in the bin
Labour muppets, trying to give away a strategic military base
We are so bored of the finger pointing at previous governments. The absolute BS around this deal is so ridiculous and patchy
Wait, what? We are PAYING to give up this British territory? What sort of utter dickheads have we put into power? (Not me, obviously – I have far too much self respect to ever vote Labour).
Such rubbish coming from this Labour Government! They don’t have a clue about Security! I served in the East Indies Station in the late 1950’s and know only too well what is required to keep the region safe from Communists!
Did someone collectively hypnotise the entire Labour parliament to excuse every action as 'xxx under the previous administration.'?
He may have 'engaged with Chargossians' but he can't and seemingly won't back that up by allowing them a referendum, which seems the smallest of courtesies. He seems to be treating the entire population as slaves to be bought or sold at whim.
Priti patel did absolutely nothing when tories where in power and here she is pretending she gives a dam when in actual fact she doesn't give a sht about the uk
Hopefully Trump will veto this.
Another minister going away on a jolly at taxpayer expense if they want the islands back then they should come here to negotiate not the other way round
Patel who did such a wonderful job when she was in charge.. That Patel
Priti Patel all talk no do. Total waste of time and a hypocrite 🤡
The Islanders own those islands and are under Magna Carta 1215, as is the whole Common-wealth. It is not the .govs property to give away. Any more than it was Browns gold to sell off cheap. .gov is admin and Trustee of our assets in office. They are under Canon Law for this and called 'ministers' because of their status. So what they are doing is Trust fraud.
Labour lies lies lies how on earth can we believe a word labour says.
What does the king have to contribute to this he's sovereign and head of the military
Why the hell can the king not dissolve parliament? He has nothing to contribute what so ever not even his own church
It is just a few months since the electorate completely rejected these sleazemongers.
Nigel’s right, let the people themselves decide!!
