What are your thoughts on Britain surrendering control of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius?

[KostasKouvalis]

Mauritius people have been wanting the islands back for decades. Here's some background on the situation...

Once the British ratify the agreement, we will have another trans-continental country.

For reference, look where Mauritius is and look where the Chagos are

They should be part of Mauritius

They should be independent

They should stay British

Trump should make an offer on them

As a British taxi payer i can't wait. I know there's z few islands in the Caribbean that regret independence especially when no help came after hurricanes and earthquakes and civil unrest.

The old saying is be careful what you wish for.

I'm glad they're not getting aid. They made their bed, they should have to lay in it. I've noticed that most former colonies, especially the black ones would like to have their cake and eat it too.

Exactly right

The big issue is we're now going to rent the island at a collosal cost. It's going to take a big chuck of our defence budget at a time money is needed closer to home.

I was hoping to get some insight from a Brit.
That really sucks.

Britain has gone communist. The US needs to take action. Sanctions or even start funding right wing groups in Britain. Once we create a rebellion we can finance and arm them. Overthrow Starmer and his communist goons. Let the rebels do what ever they want with them.
