Because Kneeler doesnt have an once of monetary sense unless its lining his nwn pocket or that of doners.

Remember "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." TGL

Beggar's belief dunnit. Give Mauritius something it never owned & pay billions for someone else to use it for a limited period. Madness.

The rest of the world must be splitting its sides with the activities of this useless shower of merde that we have running the country.

Utter madness.

Can someone please explain the thinking behind it  if there are is any? I don't understand.

join the club dave. It looks like we are giving them back but they, on some basis that no one seems to be able to fathom, are asking for dosh too. Of course our wretched pusillanimous shower will give them what they want. I don't even understand why we are giving the islands back anyway let alone giving them money into the bargain. Perhaps the anti British can explain.

It does seem rather strange doesnt it,its like giving your house away to the local gypsy clan and paying them thousands every week for them to take your house away.Madness.But as some people say it was the Tories that started this process.Do the two main parties in this country have a brain-cell between them?

Government has got into the habit of paying out the UK public's money at any occassion. They got the idea from paying a federal block simply to avoid renewing membership fees, and now they're obsessed.  The big question is, why are they trying to give away our islands anyway ?  They haven't asked for the public's permission.

to labour 18 billion is 18 quid pocket money or other peoples, could be a trillion zillion..

Badenoch had an open goal at PMQs yesterday on the Chagos deal, and she blew it disastrously.

She is out of her depth as opposition leader, the Tories and the country deserve better.

When Farage stood up to speak he faced a puerile response of oinks & jeers from the back-benches.

The country is a 'house run by its nursery'.

Reform UK is the only hope, but Rayner has the temerity to cancel elections in several key constituencies to try to thwart its support.

Je désespère !
