Uk should just completely surrender the islands now

The UK is the only one to have any claim. There are no natives to the land and Mauritius has no legal hold over the territory. Also don&#39;t mind selling the territory as it is only useful as a military base. <br>But we absolutely shouldn&#39;t be giving it to anybody or leasing it from anybody - that would just be stupid.

The best option is to give the expelled Chagosians and their descendants a vote on the future of their islands with or without the UK.

Israel is pushing for this, as a response to the UK sanctioning them for their genocide. Just a joke

No they should not control it.

Britain should own the Chagos Islands. Sick of us bending over backwards for the loudest, least powerful people just because they scream that we&#39;re &quot;mean&quot;.<br><br>It is a strategic asset and we&#39;re not in a position to give up our assets. There&#39;s no more to it.

Why would we give away our own territory and pay them to take it from us just because a the ICJ said so. It’s as if the ICJ beat Britain in a war or something. Only dysfunctional weirdos would support such things. It literally sits in the middle of the Indian Ocean, vital to global trade.
