Couldn't agree with you more in respect of the Chagos Islands Kevin, an absolute bloody disgrace, but I believe that they will get justice through the British Courts, and ultimately they will have their islands restored to them.

In the case of the Falkland Islanders under the Junta, it would have been very doubtful if justice was ever going to enter that equation and title to the land would have gone forever, sole arbiters of the situation being a bunch of military adventurers, who collectively could care a toss for their own people let alone those they have invaded and dispossessed. The Government and leadership of the UK at the time had and have absolutely nothing whatsoever to apologise for. Our territory had been invaded and we sent our armed forces south to recover them - that comes with the job description when you join the armed forces, you do so in the firm knowledge that if things happen to go pear-shaped, you have to fight and put yourself in harms way - it's what they pay you for.
