It's important to note that the UK government has officially declared that they are returning the Chagos Islands to their original inhabitants. The work was started under the Conservatives, and completed under the current Labor government.

Just in time! Only took decades, and the original people who were forced off the island are mostly gone. I do appreciate them trying to make things right. I wish the US would work harder to fix the human rights violations it has committed in it's past.
