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.
 
The UN can't just vote to strip a country of it's territories. Tommy, you're really off base here.
 
The islands have been leased to the United States until 2036. The CIA also built an interrogation centre on the island. Britain may forfeit the Chagos Islands in 17 years.

Tell me what culture hasn't had an aspect of "colonialism", or how the EU isn't colonialist.

Your obsessions seems to be race or genetics, rather than cultures.
