British P.M. and first class imbecile Cur, er Kier Starmer had planned to hand over the small island holdings known as the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean to Mauritus. Just give them away. Chagos is home to one particular island - Diego Garcia - which houses a major U.S. military base and yet Starmer was going to hand this off to the Mauritian's anyway.

Actually Starmer's deal involves paying Mauritus rather than the other way around, and the U.S. will now have to pay tribute to Mauritania yearly for the privilege of keeping the base, a point that Trump made and said this is exactly why the U.S. needs control of Greenland lest it happen there too.

Perhaps not now though as President Trump mocked the Labourite Starmer into reopening negotiations about the hand-off.

Mauritys is an island nation and has no claim whatsoever to these islands, which if anything are part of India. Mauriitus was a colony of Britain, whivh is the sole justification for their claim. This is pure leftist decolonization - there is no benefit to anyone in doing this. It certainly doesn't benefit the Chagosians, who will then be forced to live under an impoverished Mauritanian government.

If Starmer is so eager to rid his nation of these islands why didn't he offer to sell them to the U.S. and make it our problem? I doubt the people of Mauritus would mind being a part of the United States.

But liberals never think that way. It's all about virtue signaling.

Anyway that Cur Keir is renegotiating now because he feared what Trump would do. And he was right to do so because Trump could wreck the British economy with heavy tariffs.

So hopefully this will be the end of Mr. Starmer's little adventure. Hopefully

1 We DO seem to have a large number of dumb politicians these days, don't we? Starmer, Macaroon, whomever's calling the shots in Canada right now.

A-A-A-A-And there's always good old Tampon Tim.

2 Agreed. Stupidity seems to be a prerequisite for public office these days. Probably because anybody with anything on the ball goes into private business to make real money rather than be a whore to earn a living.
