Home to Chagos, at last

The former residents of the Chagos Islands who were unceremoniously evicted from their homes by the British government and deported to distant lands so that the Brits could gift the island of Diego Garcia to the Yanks as a massive air base and nuclear weapons platform have finally won the right to return home. Neither the British government nor the Americans want this to happen and the government is considering an appeal to the House of Lords but it now seems likely that these folks who were made homeless over forty years ago in order that the Americans could bring their instruments of death to the Indian Ocean will finally be able to return.

Good on ya as the Aussies would say.
