@realDonaldTrump I have been telling Prime Minister Keir Starmer, of the United Kingdom, that Leases are no good when it comes to Countries, and that he is making a big mistake by entering a 100 Year Lease with whoever it is that is “claiming” Right, Title, and Interest to Diego Garcia, strategically located in the Indian Ocean. Our relationship with the United Kingdom is a strong and powerful one, and it has been for many years, but Prime Minister Starmer is losing control of this important Island by claims of entities never known of before. In our opinion, they are fictitious in nature. Should Iran decide not to make a Deal, it may be necessary for the United States to use Diego Garcia, and the Airfield located in Fairford, in order to eradicate a potential attack by a highly unstable and dangerous Regime — An attack that would potentially be made on the United Kingdom, as well as other friendly Countries. Prime Minister Starmer should not lose control, for any reason, of Diego Garcia, by entering a tenuous, at best, 100 Year Lease. This land should not be taken away from the U.K. and, if it is allowed to be, it will be a blight on our Great Ally. We will always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the U.K., but they have to remain strong in the face of Wokeism, and other problems put before them. DO NOT GIVE AWAY DIEGO GARCIA!

Chagossians have been allowed to remain on their ancestral islands in a major victory for campaigners, following a judicial review. The Supreme Court has ruled in favour of the indigenous community and their right to "abode". Following the judicial review heard on 13 March 2026, the Court has granted the claim and ruled that the long-standing removal of the Chagossians' right of abode is "unlawful", ordering that it be "quashed". 18/02/2026 - 20:56 The First Minister has been served removal papers by the British Government The de-facto First Minister of the Chagos Islands has refused to leave his homeland after Sir Keir Starmer has agreed to surrender the atoll. Misley Mandarin told Nigel Farage on GB News the British authorities will have to "kill" him before he is removed from the territory in the Indian Ocean. This comes after Mr Mandarin was served a removal order stating he has to leave the Chagos Islands, otherwise he faces three years imprisonment or a £3,000 fine. He said on the People's Channel when asked if he would comply with the removal order: "They have to walk over my body, drag me from the beach, put me on the boat - even kill me. "I want to stay, this is my homeland, my homeland is a British territory. "I'm British and I'm staying." Mr Mandarin's father, Michel Mandarin, 74, was previously forcibly removed from the Chagos Islands along with his son. The First Minister was 14 when he was removed from the Chagos Islands and had to live in Mauritius, eating out of bins, he told GB News. Some 2,000 Chagossians were forcibly removed from the islands during the 1960s and 1970s and relocated to Mauritius and Britain. Adam Holloway, former Conservative Member of Parliament, told GB News: “This is a total nonsense and thank God for Trump in this case.” He continued to describe the deal between the British and Mauritius as “bizarre”. Mr Holloway said: “We talk about human rights, but what about the human rights of the people that are actually directly affected?" THE "DEAL" Under Stamer's deal, Britain would retain control of the military base on Diego Garcia through a 99-year lease, while sovereignty over the remaining islands would be transferred to Mauritius. The agreement will cost British taxpayers billions of pounds. The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has called on both countries to halt the agreement, warning that it would entrench longstanding human rights abuses. In 1814 the Chagos Islands became British under the Treaty of Paris and are run from Mauritius. Then in 1965 the islands were separated from Mauritius to form the British Indian Ocean Territory. Between 1966-73 indigenous Chagossians were removed by force so Britain could build the Diego Garcia military base. In 2019 the so-called "International Court of Justice" finds the 1965 split from Mauritius "unlawful". Three years later, the UK and Mauritian governments begin negotiations and in 2024 they reached agreement that Mauritius will gain control of the Chagos Islands. |
