Chagos Islands: Is Labour betraying Britain? Feat. Nina Myskow & Jamila Robertson | Jeremy Vine

- The UK will hand over the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean to Mauritius after a decades-long dispute.
The government said the deal, which includes annual payments to Mauritius, would 'address the wrongs of the past'.
Slaves worked on the islands under British rule in the 1800s, and the entire population was forced out in the 1960s and 70s.
In return, the U.S. and the UK will get to continue running a naval base on the largest of the islands.
But Tory leadership candidates have called the decision "weak", "shameful" and "dangerous", while Nigel Farage branded it a "strategic disaster".
They have concerns that Mauritius could let their ally China use the strategically important islands, and about the future of the Falklands and Gibraltar.

The island belongs to Mauritius. Who agrees or not, legally Diego Garcia belongs to Mauritius. Whether inhabited or not the territory belongs to Mauritius.
Correction ..chagossians lived on Diego Garcia , there was no military base there back then. They were expelled to build the military base
The point is that the Chagosians now have the right to self determination...if they want to sell it, keep it or sell it to China, its their choice...
An idiotic narrative! The agreement is that the US has a lease of 99 years. China is neither here nor there.
It is a Mauritian territory and not only chagosian people but Mauritian people have the right to decision via a referendum.
Everyone missing the point that britain focibly removed the Chagos population from their island, put them on a boat and sent them to Mauritius. This happened during the night.
Correction chagossians were born and died on Garcia , there was no military base there back then. They were expelled to build the military base. Big majority of chagossiens are against the agreement
Congratulations Mauritius on recovering the sovereignty of the Chagos archipelago! A good deal for Mauritius & the US but a major loss for the Uk
There are a few Chagosians coerced with British Passports living in poverty in UK. Are they going to be compensated with proper services!
💯 of the outraged probably didn't know they even existed
The Chagossians people were wronged not the Mauritian people. How can this agreement with Mauritius right the wrongs??
Because the Britain stole the islans from us. Chagos is for Mauritius and Britain lied to the US that Chagos is free of inhabitants and they forced the inhabitants to go to Mauritius and Seychelles.
It's part of Mauritius
James Cleverly condemns Chagos Islands deal - despite being the one who initiated talks 😂
And voted for sovereignty of his own country
I think starmer needs to release the sausages first😊
@@samuelstevens248what is his nation?

@@samuelstevens248 his.
It belongs to Mauritius. Stop stealing
Then England belongs to the English, go home fair?
200 Yrs of Ownership? 😂😂
200 Yrs of ILLEGAL Ownership and THEFT!
And its a betrayal to return stolen property? Betrayal to whom? The Progeny of Brigands and Crooks?
Can you imagine 🤔, he’s angry that he returned what’s not theirs.
Why does the British have to leave India? Why does Putin have to take Donbass?
Criminals always cry when they have to return stolen property to their owners.
The british has create the confilct beetwen india and pakistan. And isreal with Palestine.. british is the responsable for the disaster in the whole world
Donbas is Russia 🇷🇺 on UKr control since just 1991 but Chagos is no where British nor ever belong to them and in Africa not Europe.
Now you just have to return Northern Ireland to their rightful owners, the Irish.
To rebuild where ? while we all know the military base on the biggest island Diego remains and uk will pay Mauritius a lease. What about the chagossian peoole
Surely the Islanders should have been given a vote and their decision honoured as the British over Brexit ha ha.
Brexit tories who 'wanted their coubtry back',objecting when someone is given their country back
Massive Mistake By Starmer.😡 UK🇬🇧 need's control of Chagos Islands for UK security…must be voted on..
Section time
Totally agree. Either a deliberate attempt to weaken the west generally or unbelievably short sighted idiocy
So you are against immigration, but you don't mind stealing foreign territories. wtf
Shut up!!!!
You thieves!!!
You stole the islands by lies!!!!
Go and read the history.
@@gherkamum UK respects sovereignty, remember? 🤣
Procedures to return Chagos to Mts was initiated years ago in 2008 but the then gov in Mts was not assertive enough. Starmer has nothing to do with the decolonization process.Brt simply has no business renting Chagos isle, mainly Diego, to the US .
"It's bad timing now" why? When the F is the right time...... it's the random chagos islands
What does it have to do with Britain? The brits neee to keep out of things that dont convern them.

Would this not be history repeating its self if you don't take the will of the people living there today
What possible right does Britain have to "own" land in the Indian Ocean? The last dregs of Imperialism - at last a government doing the decent thing!
Are you dumb, America has bases all around the world, pretty much every main powerful country in the world owns land outside its own territory, and if Russia or China decided to invade England, we will regret giving away strategic millatery bases, and people like u would be the first people to start squealing 😅
Well put Jeffery!
To judge an other country on their democratic values and ability to govern is just hypocrite and self indulgent of the West.
Vine brought up HK… Prior to 1997, HK was govern by a Governor solely appointed by the UK government, as history recalls, it was far from democratic during that period.
Imperialism is a terrible thing and should not be sugar coated.
@@jeffreywyatt6425 I agree .. those in disagreement are in denial that UK is no longer considered as a credible power in the World. The money that they claim UK will pay back to Mauritius is probably a small percentage of how much money the US were paying to keep a base there.
I love all the conservatives suddenly becoming chagos island experts 😂😂
Also suddenly not liking sovereignty
@@samuelstevens248 yeah it's hilarious to see.
@@Bickle121 I Bet majority didn’t know they existed or that the UK had them 😂
@Bickle121 it's one of those. If they read into it, they will not like the history because it doesn't exactly flatter us
@@gillyharwood 99.9% of them didn't and are now super angry.
The 0.1% probably were criticising Jeremy Corbyn and calling him woke for bringing it up a decade or so ago.
From what I've read it said the UN told us a few years ago to give it back so we had too
You see? You have to show your viewers where Chagos is located. These viewers dont even know where it is, or did they know of its existence, whether as BIOT or otherwise, .
Starmer's treachery is complete
It called sovereignty!
No, the British Publics Immorality is now on full display - the progeny of brigands and land grabbering colonialists are having a hard time letting go to their stolen goods.
It should not be allowed to give away our terittory without it first being discussed by the House of Commons and then a referendum. .
So you are against immigration, but you don't mind stealing foreign territories. wtf
"Our Property" ? 😂 Im sure people like you opposed PM Atlee giving back India to the Indians as well, calling India "our property".
Now, like then you had no choice - you leave or you would be made to go.
@@crumpetsbuttered Wake-up please .. the International court and UN have already confirmed it’s no5 UK property
The chagosian was treated like annimals , they were taken from there home land in a ship and dumped in mauritius and were sleeping in a place called jardin companier opposite the British high commiision
Never heard of them😮
Last time they were in power the sold all our gold reserves, now it’s Chagos
Yes, doing decent things is anathema to the British legacy of loot, brigandage and massacre.
For your information, Chagos was illegally occupied by Britain. Now they have to pay compensation to the Chagossians as well as paying lease to Mauritius. Soon all the loots from India will also be returned.
Justice for chagossians 🎉
The last British colony as it should be known.this present UK PM will be known as the man who give liberation the chaggossians with their homeland back ,if this gone through legally.he will revered and have international acknowledgment which himself was a former DPP.but for god sake leave the Chinese of the issue ,Mauritius is roughly 75% Indian origin and Chinese about less than 1%.so Chinese influence is as same as others in the world.let’s put it that way,pressure the US to stop manufacturing IPhones in China,then you can say that this stop Chinese influence but in reality this cannot be done because the west need Chinese stuff anyway,that double standard.you western countries need Chinese more than every corner but never admitted it,why.even US president accepted that issue.the sea, the resources in the sea belong to Mauritius according to ITLOs ,UN,ICJ and others resolutions delivered these years.Mauritius will administer these island well but with British and American counter parts.Made this issue of giving back other land their respective country.one point to clear why Britain is not sovereign of any country in the Indian Ocean unlike the French who more have territories and islands near Madagascar and south of Indian Ocean ,about 7 or more ,because French was in fact the only nation who had more territories at that time including Madagascar,Seychelles Comoros so Britain cannot be the original occupier .Mauritius was known as Isle de France under French rule in the 17th century so chaggossians were already there before Britain capture Mauritius and its dependencies.the Uk government must make an official debate to let ignorants to know how Britain got these island in the first instance and stop all these nonsense of they are the rightful owner of the chaggoss island.
It's a political deal, mauritius is in électorale campaign,
France 🇫🇷 should also give back Caledonia back to Caledonians.
Agreed.
Agree. 👍
Colonialism is over. There are no Brits living there . The islands were deliberately kept back when they got Independence.
The only reason it has gone back is because the US base will be allowed to remain. Reform and Cons pushed Brexit for Independence from EU. Now they are against another regaining its own islands.
Jamila's attitude is sickening ..
The issue is that it should have been given back to the Chagossians. Handing it over to Mauritius is just ownership change.
Those Islands have never belonged to Mauritius
@@ricardosmythe2548 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@gillyharwood Nor are there any people native to the islands.
@@ricardosmythe2548 Colonised by the Portuguese, Dutch then the French. Taken from the French in 1810 by the British. So forcefully taken by the British. Another excuse for Colonialism and to deny its true sovereignty. Typical British reasoning we want Britain English no more immigrants but, lets keep those little islands in the Indian Ocean that we forcefully kicked off its inhabitants to make way for an Americans base. The Americans flexing there muscles and the British following the wagging tail. The Chagossians and Mauritius have more right to the islands than the British.
The UK has done a TERRIBLE mistake, giving away such a high profile strategic locations.
Uk has done the right thing. It was long overdue. Now Uk has to pay compensation to the Chagossians who were deceitfully expelled from their homeland just so US could build a military base. Also UK should follow suite by returning all the loots to its righful owners.
UK did not "give away". They just returned what they originally stole in the first place.
Starmer is a sad joke
Because he gave back what you stoled 🤔, all your museums are feels with stolen assets from another countries, common thieves.
It is rallye show That the Black is good for clearing the toilette.
Traitors labour party
So you are against immigration, but you don't mind stealing foreign territories. wtf
Welcome All Chagos islanders' migration to UK.
How dare Labour betray British Imperialists and Racists who like to Steal land ?
TRAITOR
Taking from our pensioners winter allowance , then giving money away to an island
79% of pensioners own their own home, what is a 30 year old of today going to own at pensioners age.
@@leecoping8114 no … giving billions of aid to Ukraine and Israel whilst pensioners freeze
@@gillyharwood perhaps pensioners don't need to live in a three bed property that is more expensive to heat than a 1 bed
He is already doing that
Yes it's a betrayal it's very clear to see it
So you are against immigration, but you don't mind stealing foreign territories. wtf
Fantastic news
India brokered the deal 😂Falk too
Shock liebour betraying Britain 😅
this was negotiated by the tories
I think vine and Co need to discuss the inability to differentiate an o from an 0 prior to ranting on other stuff. They seem hard and fast to criticize others for some stuff butt refuse to accept that they need to get a little education over 11 plus grade in order to know what an o is and what an 0 is . Do they get their shoulace tied daily because they have no idea? .
Vine may be somewhat lacking in motor skills if navigating a road and whining about others whilst falling off a bicycle daily tbh, I would love to see the brother Get words in over a Christmas meal, butt I just do no find the brother smart either.
Who said you that the island was be😂long to uk. You can say also the whole world belong to you may be the moon and the sun also
I agree with the giving away of these islands, but not the financial aspect. OK, we gave the Islands back, but why should we pay to give it back.
The least we can do after what we did to the locals
Its called "Damages" .
Just like how Germany lost both wars but the British asked them to Pay after losing as well.
H
Cannot listen to nina she always talks rubbish
No she doesn't she is talking sense
The problem is you have a lack of a moral compass and just like your ancestors you are happy being Vile and Evil as long as you profit.
Chagos Islands -> Mauritius -> British Mauritius
Chagos does not belong to Mauritius or Britain it belongs to India. Why because it emerged from the sunken continent kumari kandam was linking Madagascar Australia Papuas Indian ocean .The only country which have an ocean on its name. ANY ARTIFACTS OR MINERALS FOUND OR TO BE FOUND BELONGS TO INDIA ONLY.
Everyone blaming the pm British betrayal has been ongoing for decades
It has nothing to do with Mauritius.They have no Historical Claim to the islands.
Nobel prize for this comment
Oh, because apparently rioting stealing and looting is only allowed if you're wearing a Union Jack Underwear Got it.
The Chagossians people were wronged not the Mauritian people. How can this agreement with Mauritius right the wrongs??
