The UN is controlled by the Chinese, so of course Britain was told to give up the Chagos Islands. We all know who Mauritius is cosy with - oh yes, the Chinese. Herr Starmer is being naive at best. International law also seems to have tiers. Although it will be interesting to see if, like many other 'public servants' on relatively modest salaries, he suddenly becomes a multi-millionaire.
Thank you for this summary of the non-applicable nature of international law. Shame that Starmer would rather agree with all his Davos mates than actually deal fairly with the country he appears to think he has been inconsiderately 'saddled with'.
I am constantly astonished at how he's been enabled to 'spend spend spend' the UK's money without recourse to Parliament. The first time I knew about his 'hundred year agreement' with Zelenskyyyy was when I saw him shaking hands with that particular midget dictator on TV. My flabber was totally gasted.
The Chagos Islands seem to be a case in point. Fingers crossed the US will put a sharp spike in that ridiculous agreement and lay out pretty stiff terms re: what has to be done for the UK to avoid crippling US tariffs. With any luck, the UK retention of the Chagos islands will be one of them - and non-negotiable. And be damned to truculent and stupid Davos Man!
There's an excellent article on Substack by Lorenzo from Oz basically saying that International Law is a chimera because there is no body that can enforce them.
So if the UK had diplomatically said Eff Off to the machinations of the International Court, nobody could actually do anything apart from fulminate and say rude words about us.
I laughed when I read that the EU said that Trump's tariffs on steel were "illegal". Do they really think he cares?
Yet, the majority of the electorate seem unaware of many things, and willing to vote - if they can be bothered- for what seems right on the day. So be it - this is democracy in action.
The international 'issue of the day' that MSM shrieks about is used to distract from major issues here - a tax system openly abused both by MG Gov as well as certain 'sectors', an energy policy that isn't, the world's highest energy costs for the public, and State that knows no bounds. That's before we get to having roads that are not dirt tracks or enough houses / hospitals and so on.
Time to say we have given too much away, we have made ourselves poor, and need to stop this madness. Now. Immediately.
