Brits bitterly lamenting the loss of the Chagos Islands today sound like a 25-year-old finding out his mum gave his Lego that's been in the loft since 2012 to the kid across the street.

It's more than I expected from the UK government but still kinda shitty Diego Garcia remains off limits and Chagossians weren't involved in negotiations. But yes.

The Venn diagram of people angry about the loss of ur Chagos Islands and the people who know where the Chagos Islands is are two completely separate circles

Who even knew we had them? Who even cared? Why on earth should we have had them all this time? Seems mad to me.

The obvious questions to ask: 1. Where are the Chagos Islands? 2. Can you point them out on a map for me? 3. Can you describe the appearance of a typical Chagossian? No need to be specific. Just give me the general (waves hand to denote 'skin colour'). 4. So you don't *really* care, do you?

Special mention to James Cleverly, moaning about the deal he started as Minister!

James Cleverly, Minister’s Statement
Since the Written Ministerial Statement made on 3 November 2022, the UK and Mauritius have held constructive
negotiations on 23 to 24 November 2022, 11
to 12 January 2023 and 23 to 24 February 2023 on the exercise of sovereignty over the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) /
Chagos Archipelago. These discussions have built understanding between the two sides, and covered issues relating to ensuring the continued effective operation of the joint UK/US military base on Diego Garcia;
resettlement of the former inhabitants of the Chagos Archipelago; strengthening our cooperation on a range of issues such as environmental and marine protection,

Most Brits couldn't find the Chagos Archipelago on a map.
