Debate
Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory BillContribution
There is an amazing lack of self-awareness on the part of this Government. So ideologically wedded are they to their perception of past colonial wrongs that they do not see how the Bill looks to the British voter. They are spending millions on this deal, giving these millions to Mauritius, a country with a hugely corrupt governing class, while at home, tomorrow, the Chancellor is going to raise taxes on hundreds of thousands of British voters.
