"Hidden from Parliament and the U.S. Congress, the deal was this: the Americans wanted the island, in their words, swept and sanitized. An entire population was declared expendable; all of them were to be deported.

Stealing a Nation (John Pilger, 2004) is an extraordinary film about the plight of people of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean - secretly and brutally expelled from their homeland by British governments in the late 1960s and early 1970s, to make way for an American military base. The base, on the main island of Diego Garcia, was a launch pad for the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq"

9.06 rating out of 10.

I didnt watch video, it's an hour long, but they didn't steal anything. First of all the island was completely uninhabited when settled by the Europeans. 2nd of all these people sold out to the Brits, every person was paid to move. They agreed to it. If some were disappointed then they should have elected themselves better representation. But by all means, let's manufacture an incident from the past to get our snowflake outrage on.
