Chagos Islands: Britain an 'illegal colonial occupier' after failing to hand back control
Britain has been accused of acting like an illegal colonial occupier for refusing to hand back control of a remote set of islands in the Indian Ocean.
The Chagos Islands were due to be given back to Mauritius by Friday following an overwhelming vote at the UN General Assembly in May.
The Foreign Office says it does not recognise Mauritius' claim to sovereignty over the archipelago, located 310 miles (500km) from the Maldives, which used to be a British colony.
Tory scum bring shame on us.
