and david lammy & starmer are also paying billions to give it back. well not those 2 the BRITISH TAXPAYERS AND THERE ARE 300.000 BRITISH PEOPLE HOMELESS
Apologies to Usa, we are governed by our second bunch of clowns but we WILL GET IT RIGHT NEXT TIME!
Starmer isn't a smart man
From the UK, thank you, America. Mauritius don't even have any regard for these island's themselves. It's just another pure example of gas lighting a guilt trip for the UK and the West
Any comment I make could put me jail, that is the state this country is in
Oh ffs, stop all this posturing, aggression and war mongering. China is becoming so advanced, futuristic, working with its neighbours to improve infrastructure and relationships. The USA and China should cooperate and focus on improving the lives of the citizens of their countries and the world, not spend trillions on military spending which just makes politicians rich.
INTERESTING…
Starmer and his so called government are the most incompetent government ever in my long lifetime
The UN is the enemy.
Problem is the left across Europe and America are in the Chinese’s pocket. They believe in the communism and want the destruction of the west. They alt to be tried for treason if this goes through. Hope President stops this immediately. God bless America from an Englishman 🇺🇸🏴🇬🇧
Only about 34% of British electors voted for this Labour government, but, because of our rather odd political system, they got most seats in Parliament. Labour, who are way to the left, have made several mind-numbingly stupid decisions in their first year in power, and, to be fair, this is one that was started by the last Conservative lot, & simply carried on by Starmer & Co. They know that China bribes & bullies its way around the world, & that China calculates that every politician has his price, hence the tempting offers to Mauritius, a small, poor country. Few politicians care where the bribe money comes from, – only that it doesn't come out of their pockets, hence the crackpot 'lease-back' plan for Diego Garcia. Be assured, America, that 99% of us in Britain have no "colonial guilt", & no desire to give our few remaining territories away to an enemy. Had our so-called 'leaders' the sense they were born with, we'd have offered the islands to the USA for a dollar, – with the proviso that the Chagossians would be fairly treated.
British people don't want to surrender these islands…
Us true Brit patriots agree and stand with you, Senator Kennedy.
Starmer is a traitor to the people of the UK and we do not support this clown
Please don`t take it that the british people agree with this, WE DON`T. It is KEIR Starmer and his Labour fools, We hate him, we wont rid of him ASAP, we need President trump to take the UK to the 51st State. For the british people who are suffering under our Parliament KEIR STARMER!
My word senator Kennedy you are on fire! I’m in England and I think this sale is appalling. Ps you’re looking good ⚖️
this dude cant even find UK on the map
Good man God bless you
Never mind Canada becoming a state please take over the uk!!! Our politicians are a bloody disgrace
God help us in the UK
I respect Senator Kennedy. He is an amazing person, always fighting for justice, and I same time really like his sense of humour. God bless and protect him. 👍🙏🍀❤️
We can't do sh** about China. 9-9-6 vs 9-5-5. It's not about the number of hours actually, it's about the ambition.
Senator, if you were to meet Starmer, I feel sure you would change your mind about Starmer and consider him an idiot, as many do here in the UK.
Senator Kennedy. Our new Labour governments ideology is to decolonise all of the UKs overseas assets. Labour is a kaleidoscope party of Marxist socialists.
The present UK government are generally regarded by British citizens as authoritarian traitors who are destroying the country. Starmer is wonderful? You are way off the mark there.
Thank god trump is now in charge
Please, Trump wiped the floor with labour
Is there any international "authority" that hasn't been subverted and corrupted?
That man is a legend 👍
I’m hopeful that president Trump will put Starmer and the Labour government in their place, on this subject and more and I’m British 🇬🇧
HO YES STARMER ,
Senator Kennedy has a wonderful rurn of phrase and: "Don't put up with dodgy leftist nonsense."
Well said Senator Kenndey. As a British citizen I totally agree with you. Unfortunately we have many political cowards in the UK. We need reform as soon as possible, our only hope unless Mr Trump can rescue us. I have been watching you in the senate for a few years now and only wish that we had a you in theUK parliament.
