Submission Statement: Britian has signed a deal to hand the Chagos Islands over to Mauritius and lease the basing facilities back for 100 million USD a year. this deal has been hailed as a „great victory for the Mauritian nation,“ but panned in Britain, with one labor MP saying „What should I tell my Chagossian constituents, when they ask the moral basis upon which the U.K. is ignoring their right to self-determination while we fight for it in Ukraine for Ukrainians?“ the Conservative leader saying „The Chagos Islands have been British since 1814. Only Keir Starmer’s Labour Party would negotiate a deal where we’re paying to give something away,“ and Reform party leader saying this „plays into China’s hands.“
IMO: This was agreed in principle late last year but is now actually signed, with the loss of the Chagos Islands the Sun will finally set on the British Empire, Literally, with Britain’s territories now no longer spanning enough of the globe to have daylight somewhere at all times.
