La_Dolce_Vita Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I just recently came across this website all about the Chagossians people who were forcible evicted from their home, Diego Garcia, in the 70s to make way for it being used as an American military base. This is something that has never hit the news much over here. So much for a government that harps on about humantiarian issues especially when it has been trying very hard to fight its case against these people. Pretty sad stuff really. http://domain1164221.sites.fasthosts.com/index.htm http://www.iloistrust.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La_Dolce_Vita Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 And the current Labour Government is doing all it can overturn the decisions, made in the Chagossians favour, by appealing to the House of Lords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesemonster2005 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I've read about this before. It's just another in the list of abuses carried out by the UK in the name of colonialism and their support for the USA. It's time that the base was shut down and the original inhabitants allowed to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Ayres Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yes it is shocking what the British Government is trying to do, fancy trying to take a country off the Americans and give it back to the indigents. Shocking. They need somewhere to torture people FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
