How did Starmer and Lammy make this deal with Mauritius without the Ministry of Defence Minister approval or deeper discussion and scrutiny in Parliment ? Given how crucial the Army base is to the West.
It was started by the Tories, James Cleverly. We haven't had a Government for thirty years that represented the British public, hence the boats and their refusal to implement Brexit and withdraw us from the ECHR. They answer to the billionaire globalists with support from China and worse............I'm aware how it sounds but this is why we need a British Government for the people and Reform will be the last chance to save our country diplomatically.
The only rules that matter in geopolitics are these. What a country can do and what they can’t do. Diego Garcia has an very powerful strategic location. It projects power on most of the Indian Ocean. It’s an force multiplier. Mauritius has tight relationship including their currency with China. Just take a look at the south Chinese sea to figure out how this will end.
@@7pinky791 I've just been watching travel on a high speed train in China and I seriously think us Brits have been conned out of a good life by our masters and peers!!
Now that the oil field under the Falklands has been proven to contain more hydrocarbons than the North Sea, presumably Starmer would want to give it away. However, the Falkland Islanders have more brains than both British cabinets (current or previous). They refused to sign up to the Paris Accords & are not governed by Starmers pronouncements. So they'll get rich (maybe joining Argentine?) & we're gonna get painfully poor.
Don't refer to this as 'we' are giving away the Chagos islands. It's not the British people's decision. It's Starmers, Lammys, and the unpopular Labour government who are responsible.
Mr President Elect, please just deal with Chagos as is fit for the US and the UK... it is a key asset for both nations with the base there. Laboir will never learn. So ... do what you need to do.
I would say its suicidal to give up the Chagos islands. UK has already done enough for Mauritus for many years, foreign aid, bringing their people over to educate them in the medical field in particular (many stayed ISO going back to support their own people). Stop all of this stupidity, stand with the US together.
As an American, never give up these bases. They are too critical for the defense of the Indian and Pacific oceans. What’s more immoral? Letting a totalitarian regime who prosecutes minorities and creates police state in its own borders and proxy’s go after their expansionist ambitions or displace a few hundred islanders? I think the answer is clear here.
I have been invested in DT since 2016 i somehow knew he knew what he was talking about even though those all around me were anti Trump .... and I am British go president Trump i would love to see you come back to Scotland.
President Trump is aware of the situation, and his son, Donald Trump Jr., has been vocal about it. Undoubtedly, Trump is frustrated because Starmer is seeking to arrest Elon Musk. Chances are this endeavor will not work out for Starmer. He is taking on two of the most powerful figures in the world. In fact, Starmer and his administration should be held accountable for treason.👊🏼
Chagos islands was never under a lease. UK ethnically cleansed these islands. The islanders live in the UK. The chagos islanders want to go back and remain under British rule. So for the second time UK contravened International law because the islanders were not consulted.
American here, it's such a bad idea even Biden not happy with it, this will not be good for U.K. Trump takes the W.H. in a few weeks, this puts our base in a bad situation in that area.
The Island in question is Diego Garcia. Much more than an airbase, it has a large sheltered port and huge warehouse. It's used as a supply port and refueling station for both US and Royal Navy ships in the Indian Ocean.
I can tell you right now us Americans will never give that base up. It was the middle way point for both wars in Iraq for logistics. Cargo would fly out from Sierra mountain depot in NorCal and land to refuel in Diego Garcia then make the final toss to the Middle East
@Likeaworm Agree, don't know if it's changed since I was there in the 80's but I remember there was a radar array and satellite tracking facilities as well. Beautiful island and beaches but back then the m to f ratio was over 100 to 1 and there wasn't much to do off duty.
This US base was originally set up as an ultra secret spying station. I do remember that clearly as I am old enough to remember those days. It took awhile for American press to even learn about it at the time. In fact it was dubbed ultra secret at the time due to the state of the art electronics employeed there.
Yes, when our American press found out about this " ultra secret spy station" articles written at the time mentioned the pristine fisheries surrounding it.
The Chagos islands are not nearby and frankly not "close to Mauritius". They're 2100km away from each other and have never had any political attachment to them. They're closer to India at 1600km. In fairness this actually kicked off with Truss initially who was very naive about the islands but Starmer and Lammy are on a different level.
Hopefully, we have the character and honor to focus on the people in power that manipulated our fellow common man. I don't want revenge, I want justice.
Starmer allegedly has a lawyer pal acting for Mauritius government, who are NOT near Chagos….1000 miles away, no history of administering Chagos.Anyone thought to ask the Chagos islanders?…. VERY SUSPICIOUS ACTION BY STARMER ONCE AGAIN.
Additionally, Britain brought this to the ICC - who ruled as advisory that Britain should give this up. But at most, it was only advisory & there was no need for Britain to slavishly follow this
What are you talking about? Get your facts right. They are British territory and have been for centuries, we don't have a lease on them. And Mauritius is not nearby. It's thousands of miles away. Look at the map.
@@w92viking64Do your research before making ill informed statements. That's what Israel said about the about Palestinian. 'A land without a people for a people without a land'.
Erol is a muppet, if this goes ahead then China quite likely will be given access to another island close to the airbase, they will then set up a monitoring station and in doing so make the base unusable ruining the USA's strategic capability across a large area of the middle east, far east, India and Russia, Diego Garcia is a critical component in US, NATO and the UK defense capabilities. In terms of British sovereignty this is no different than surrendering the Falklands or Gibraltar, you can rest assured that Argentina and Spain will be pushing at the door as a weak Labour government and useless Foreign Secretary make a mess of this, the other thing which the government refuse to answer is how much the British tax payer will now have to pay for the lease to keep the airbase, it's a bit like your house being given to someone else and you having to pay rent to keep your bedroom.
American here, only thing I know Starmer was voted in, the U.K. should consult with my country this could put our base in a bad situation at times.... even Joe Biden thinks this a bad deal. it's not for us Americans to tell you how to vote but you should consult with us.
Diego Garcia is an inpenetrable aircraft carrier thousands of miles from anyone who can hurt it. None one can just "go there" And it's the only thing within the reach of the middle east
Absolutely. For some strange reason they like the Brits (even Starmer ??) & dislike the Mauritians. We wouldn't give Falklands away because they overwhelmingly voted to stay British. So what's different with Chagos???
It’s insanity. However, negotiations were initiated under the previous govt allegedly. I do wonder how much this was driven by our Civil Service doing its own thing. I’d like to see the previous foreign secretaries questioned.
But Kier Starmers friend is Philippe Sands KC, who also happens to be Mauritius’ chief legal adviser - and a longtime campaigner for the country to control the land.
The Mauritian government have refused to give 99 years of lease with full sovereignty to the UK. In fact mauritius want to deal with the Americans rather than the UK.
Labour, not caring about our territorial integrity.... I'm shocked 😲 Even if you make an argument for exercising "soft power" i genuinely don't understand what benefit we are gaining from this. As many others have said, Mauritius is looking to align itself to a power that is hostile to the west.
Trump will take the island, and then Argentina will want another go for the faulklands. Starmer has started something bad here. We should all show up in London when Trump is in office and show we back Trump in this.
Not Britain, Starmer is the problem.
