If the Government were serious about the new 'Marine Reserve', they'd close the military base down, but it was cynically created to deny the Chagossians the change to earn a living if they manage to get back home. This story makes me feel ashamed of that flag.

A shameful day ethnically cleansed by us brits. They could have employed the locals instead of shipping in philipinos to work on the base.

@bbcboy Good Luck... Try to get as much info about the island before you go. Make sure your family sends you a "CARE" package of all the things you can't live without. It's not like you can leave the island and go shopping.

WOW This video brought back memories when I was stationed there Oct 82-Oct 83. I was the US Air Force MAC Passenger Service Rep. The Navy didn't let me do my job so I became a beach bum at the Yacht Club and Brit Clubs. I would put on my uniform every Wed to check to see if there was anything important at the MAC Terminal. Any MAC(AMC) or Navy friends.. GoRioDJ@yahoo.com

It does seem like a cool place to be stationed.....and very strategically important to both the UK and the US

If I'd ever win the lottery, I'd not spend it on cars, drugs, houses. I would get a pilot and a captain license and I would travel the world to look at these islands and I would be perfectly happy.
