In Tutela Nostra Limuria
Not that we seem to have noticed. Then again, the territory in question, or at least its people, who are British, may as well be mythical for all we care. A marine conservation area around the Chagos Islanders means that those Britons can never now go home, since they could not make a living, and they made a good living, if they did. Instead, they must be the underclass on Mauritius for ever. The FCO announcement to that effect does not even mention them. The Special Relationship is Special indeed.
