“It's A Disgrace!” | Government Criticised After Starmer Gives Chagos Islands Back To Mauritius


Alex Phillips is joined by former Labour adviser Matthew Laza and Conservative commentator Benedict Spence to discuss the Prime Minister paying back £6,000 worth of gifts after the backlash he faced over the donations row. Keir Starmer has also faced new scrutiny after returning the Chagos Islands back to Mauritius which the pair also talk…

This report is filled with misinformation and factual distortions. While Mauritius maintains good relationships with all countries, including China, to suggest that Mauritius and China are close allies is incorrect. Mauritius, with a predominantly Indian-origin population and a Hindu majority, has far closer ties to India. The majority of the Mauritian population are Indian in decent, and Mauritius is very closely aligned with India not China. Notably, it is widely known that India and China do not currently have a close relationship.

Geographically, Mauritius is approximately 2,000 km from the Chagos Islands, much closer than the UK, which is over 9,000 km away. Historically, in 1968, the British granted Mauritius independence only after coercing the country into ceding the Chagos Islands. Following this, the British forcibly evicted the native Chagossians at gunpoint to Mauritius, many of whom have since lived in poverty—a shameful chapter in British colonial history. The international courts and the United Nations have ruled that Britain's actions were wrong, and while some rulings may not be legally binding, the overwhelming consensus among the majority of the global community is that Mauritius has legitimate sovereignty over the Chagos Islands.

This business of using propaganda to justify territorial occupations or military actions based on unfounded claims. It is time to stop spreading false narratives—Mauritius is both geographically and historically closer to the Chagos Islands than the UK ever has been. Colonisation must be brought to an end.

Brexshit is a gift that keeps on giving… Buenos Aires is thrilled with brexit. Brexitania is now a failed colonial project everyone wants out. Soon Northern Ireland will also be freed

TRAITOR

@victoriajamie99

What exactly are you furious about. In 1950s Kruschev give Crimea to Ukraine without discussing with the people. Most people in the west are outraged that Russia now has taken it back. Now you know what it feels like to give a strategic place away to another country and you are outraged, what hypocrisy. 4:27

@Brucemcleod2345

What a joke the UK is. London has gone to the Islamists – where will the British have to live soon?

No one really understands the Chagos Islands issue here. The territory was inhabited by Mauritians from French descent who went there with slaves coming mostly from Africa. When British took possession of Mauritius it also took the Chagos Islands. When it gave independence to Mauritius it excluded the Chagos Islands and deported the people in an awful inhuman manner. These islands were always under the administration of Mauritius during British rule. Mauritians were administrators of the island. Britain took the Island leased it to US and gain enormous economical benefit out of it since the 1970s. Mauritius claim has always been there since negotiating independence but Britain put it as a condition that they retain Chagos as they already had plans with the US. The Chagos has always been considered as a Mauritius territory and inhabited by former slaves descent which were taken from Mauritius. Administered by Mauritians as no lord have ever set foot and stay on Chagos as they preferred the comfort of their British castles. The UN is not only Syria and Zimbabwe and putting this as we are only listening to them is not fair. Chagossians do want to go back although some were bribed with British passport and given home in Crawley. The British PM did justice to Mauritius and its a great decision.

@doloreswylie3067

Are Labour MP’s not worried for their jobs…they should be.
They have been tainted forever by this particular leader and his “ friend”.
To say the public are now wary of Labour and their ultimate agenda is a understatement.

What would happen if Starmer decides to give part of England to one of his friend’s country

@Jahmercy21

😂😂The sun has finally set on that so called british empire in the indian ocean😂😂 From india to South Africa, british colonization has been kicked out.😂haha

@swax7124

To be fair though, to the maldives, this was going to happen anyway. the thing we as a nation must do. will be to invite them into the West and not let them slip into the hands of China. we need to welcome new countries into the west.

@Kittykat4457-g7h

That was a fab show! Loved it! I’m happy to be a bird too, who cares!! Nuclear is the way to go, especially if we’ve got the technology!! What the jiggins are we doing?? I had no idea that Chagos had to historical link to Mauritius..how have we decided to give it to them then?

@Ati-Maharathi

Colonial criminals are crying 😂

@morganlefey

it’s not within Starmer’s gift to gives Chagos to Mauritius. Chagos should be given back to the Chagossians and their descendants in exile.

@Bloodline2009

These elected MP's are all out of touch with what's going on in our Country. I don't care what party they're in, if they taking freebies that aren't specifically security related, they're on the take. Their salaries are tax payers money and they should be respecting that by claiming as little as possible.

@cailancook9720

Islam owns The Labour Party.

Is anybody could take responsibility and put Starmer in prison for treason? He betrayed anyone and anything being for a few weeks in power.

@sharonseed

Keir Starmer paying £6,000 back is a drop in the ocean he has really well over £100,000 in money and donations, not for Lammy has received the most, along with Rayner, Reeves, Cooper, Bridget Phillipson, amongst other in tje corrupt failed Labour Party, they are a total disgrace to Britain, our once great country, they are certainly not fit for office!

@LevePalestina777

bunch of racists colonisers not your territory according to ICJ international laws and UN!! arrogance of these europeans human right defenders are extraordinary always colonising, looting, destabilising, invading and bombing all countries for centuries. They will then complain about migration. Btw the Chinese never invaded 3/4 of the world's countries. Mauritius will get the money because USA is paying UK for the illegal military base on lease on MAURITIAN TERRITORY

Between 1965 and 1973, the UK exiled all Chagossians who had been living on the various islands since the 18th century to Mauritius, Seychelles and, eventually, the UK after many were granted British citizenship in 2002.

Typical British colonial attitude. And all for getting 14 million dollars off the cost of Polaris from the yanks so the same yanks could get a base in the Indian ocean

Typical western colonialism.

@sob-iLs

Starmer shocking people so that they forget Spongegate

@Eric-qm5xw
