The Bill confects a link between the two places. By advancing the self-interest of Mauritius over the interests of our own nation and our subjects in the British Overseas Indian Territories, we see in sharp relief the cowardice of a Prime Minister who will not or cannot stand up to his chums in the legal profession. They think it is rather a good idea to pay to give up land and then ask permission from our enemies to use it, having been kidded that international law requires it, from a case in which the UK was not even a participant, citing approval from maritime and marine bodies that have no nexus over our sovereignty and no business pushing us around.
