UK hands sovereignty of Chagos Islands to Mauritius

In a historic move, the UK gives up sovereignty of a strategic group of islands in the Indian Ocean.

Unfortunately there will be political, security and indeed financial repercussions regarding this. Apparently Starmer is a mate of the lawyer representing Mauritius, China is an ally of theirs and at the moment we receive millions from the USA to use the air base. No doubt China will push for a base and we’ll end up paying Mauritius for the use of ours. Then of course Argentina will jump on the bandwagon for the Falklands. Lammy is an idiot in the same category as Milliband. Give away what we have, close down natural resources and wait for the inevitable increase in taxes…..

The US are staying.

Fool.

"apparently"
"No doubt"
"Jump on the bandwagon"
"Give away what WE have"

Never ending entitlement. Generation boomer suddenly feeling the pinch, quick quick, let's get some blame thrown round.

Fool.

Do you think I subscribe to that system?

Lol.

You sound more and more like Ignatius J Reilly from A Confederacy Of Dunces every day.

Do you think I subscribe to that system?

Lol.

I don’t & nor do I.

But that wasn’t the question you were asked about the article you posted.

Tell us the one about the former pm that was having an affair and seeing his new squeeze whilst his wife was in hospital undergoing treatment for cancer.

Your question asked of me what I thought should earn a knighthood. I told you: I dont subscribe to the system of honours. So there's no question of 'earning' an Establishment bung, which is what a knighthood represents.

You've chosen an odd issue to pursue.

Odd issue to post a lengthy divorce statement of speculation to then further speculate on a system you don’t subscribe to the first place don’t you think?

Notice donations are bungs again. That U turn on a U turn didn’t take long at all.

He can waste all sorts of taxpayer money, leave vulnerable people unprotected from a pandemic, not bother declaring favours and gifts, threaten UK constitutional democracy... But he seems like a good laugh!
