Firstly, the Chagos Archipelago, particularly Diego Garcia, houses a vital Anglo-American naval and strategic base that plays a crucial role in both regional and global security, including U.S. Space Operations. [see Diego Garcia Mission]

Secondly, Mauritius is approximately 1,118 miles from Diego Garcia and surrendering the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius, on the basis that it obtained rights under colonialism, is a fallacy, because when seeking independence, the natural outcome is to return to pre-colonial status.

I realise that the latter is a normative stance and that not all post-colonial nations revert to their pre-colonial boundaries or governance structures upon gaining independence. A view endorsed by international courts, but the security of the free world takes precedence in this argument, or “Is It Me!”

Any decision that impacts the sovereignty of the islands, especially during a parliamentary recess, bypasses the necessary scrutiny and debate. This denies Parliament the chance to assess the full strategic and security risks of transferring control to Mauritius, a country with significant Chinese investment and influence.

Given China’s increasing geopolitical ambitions, this could pave the way for Chinese military or strategic presence near Diego Garcia, creating potential tensions and even conflict with the United States in an area where none exists currently.

Moreover, the government’s decision undermines the principle of parliamentary sovereignty, the foundation of the UK’s democratic system. Parliament is the supreme legal authority in the UK and must be consulted on issues of territorial change.

Lastly, historical precedents concerning British Overseas Territories, such as the Falklands and Gibraltar, show that territorial issues must be thoroughly debated in Parliament.

Major decisions concerning sovereignty and national security should never be rushed through without parliamentary scrutiny, particularly when they involve the interests of close allies like the United States.

Failure to do so could not only compromise security in the region but also set a dangerous precedent for future territorial and foreign policy decisions made without proper democratic oversight, or “Is It Me!”

Keir Starmer may have just triggered the countdown to a global conflict. By handing over the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius, a nation with significant ties to China— we are opening the door to a grave security threat.

The consequences of such a move are too dire to ignore. Diego Garcia serves as a cornerstone for international security, and the decision to transfer control without proper parliamentary debate undermines the sovereignty of the UK and the safety of its allies.

I am making an urgent appeal to any wealthy individual, organisation, or legal entity who can establish an interest to challenge this decision in the UK High Court before it’s too late.

This is not just a UK issue, but a global one. Though my original aim was to speak to a UK audience, I have been fortunate to gain international support from countries like Singapore, Germany, the Netherlands, and especially the USA (notably in California, Texas, and Virginia). I also want to say a heartfelt “Mange tak” to Denmark for their outstanding following. Your support now could make all the difference.

In the UK, judicial review allows individuals and organisations to challenge government actions. With the right support, we can demonstrate a legitimate interest and bring this critical issue before the courts. Historical cases, like Rees-Mogg (1994) and Miller (2017), have shown that decisions impacting our constitutional and territorial integrity must involve parliamentary scrutiny.
