Following the shabby and despicable treatment of the Chagos Islanders by this corrupt and treacherous government, I thought they might have run out of British subjects to betray. Sadly not.
Ascension Island, vital to our defence of the Falklands today and pivotal in our re-taking the islands twenty-five years ago, is a dependency of St Helena, some 800 miles away. Around a thousand St Helenans live and work there, and have a democratically elected seven-member island council. Nu Lab deceiver and betrayer Lord Triesman has recently backtracked on promises made to these Ascension Islanders to allow them permanent rights; many have invested in property and small businesses there. It is supposed that the US, who we allow to use the island as a refuelling stop, objected.
There comes a time when we must accord to British subjects in our dependent territories the rights we demand for ourselves here in the mainland UK. No ifs, no buts, no deals.
