     STEALING A NATION

       Award-winning reporter John Pilger reveals how the UK government expelled the entire population of a group of islands to make way for a US military base - from which Iraq was attacked.


   WTF...I dont remember that being on the news at the time.

you might do when you watch it!

Its a realistic possibility.

I don't remember hearing that either

No, I dont mate, its not the sort of news they like to release untill the deeds done. To much flack.

Interesting snippet on the subject.

'tis also a good site for other bits of news not to be found thru the regular channels.

This was actually picked up by the media. If you remember there was about 50 of them living at Gatwick airport coz despite kicking them off the island they refused them asylum in Britain.

Now i'm as anti-immigration as anyone but thats taking the piss a bit

Just a bit

Its fucked up innit

Diego Garcians who we've kicked off their island leaving them homeless = No stay

Albanian/Nigerian/Kosovan/Pakistani Pimps/Drug Dealers/Wannabe Terrorists = Yippee, come right in, the tax payer will sort you out

WTF!

Way to drag up and old thread Nick you plant!

It was worth getting rid of them as well. Its a great place to have as a military base. The Americans can use it to re-fuel their long range bombers in peace and we can detain "Combatants there or at least use it as a stop off point for rendition flights. Perfect

Another thing is that the wildlife is flourishing as the original inhabitants aren't there to eat them anymore. We win on the nature side too

Shutup....you're dead.
