Is the Great Pyramid or one of the ones near the Sphynx?

It is the one you see depicted on US Federal Reserve notes.

When will the US imperialists free their colonies in Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Northern Mariana Islands, Guantanamo, Cuba? No voting in the presidential elections for these colonies. No representatives in Congress. No taxation without representation!

Can't "give away ' if the occupation of Chagos is illegal according to ICJ and UN General Assembly.

The UN is not our father.

I couldn't give a rats arse what they think.

Tacit support for a foreign power considering hostile action against us.

Traitorous behaviour.

The traitorous behaviour is Starmer giving away Chagos.

Objecting to treachery is not treachery. If Trump happens to think the same as me then obviously I will think he is correct in his thinking.

A bit irksome that you back people who have never been British, the Chaggosians, over British citizens. Falkland Islanders are full British citizens. The Chaggosians haven't lived in the Chagos islands (and like Falklanders, they are also not native to those islands) for over 50 years, they are, at best, British Overseas Territory Citizens. Deported Chaggosians who were deportedm received at least £2600 each (£9400 per family), at 1978 rates, about £14,000 in today's money, which isn't bad considering they didn't own any land there. They were all contract workers for the plantations. They were given the choice of passage to Mauritius or Seychelles, fully paid for. Monthly wages in the Seychelles and Mauritius was about £100 or less at the time, so its not bad to get 2 years wages to set yourself up again.

You defend the rights of the Chaggosian people to be British; they are not, and it was never their land to begin with. Since 1978, most Falklanders have become Freeholders; they own the land. Not sure why you are backing a foreign power because apparently they support the rights of a non-British, itinerant peoples over 100% British people with established businesses and lives, against a country which has a track record of torture and massacres, and which we know planned to massacre British civilians in 1982. Not sure you are British.

The Chagos are of little value to the United Kingdom; the Falklands are worth much more to the UK.

You stated:

Given Starmers lack of support re. Iran operations and also over Chagos I think it's reasonable for him to reconsider US support re. The Falklands.

Would seem to indicate you don't mind British people being massacred, forced to speak Spanish, convert to the Papal church, be deported at the point of a bayonet, if iut meant comfortable relations with a man who likely will be dead in the next 10 years. You have a superficial love of country, who willingly would give up the lives of hundreds of British soldiers if it meant people in the Indian ocian, not from this country, had a comfortable life.
