Besides giving 'back' the Chagos Islands is one thing. Spending billions is nuts when we're not being compelled to do so. If keeping the American base is so important to us that we're willing to fork over £9-18bn then why abide by a decision that isn't apparently binding?
Would be interesting to know what our obligation to the US is. If we decide to cede the colony, surely our obligation to housing a US base there ends and it's up to the US to negotiate with the new owners of the island? And pay for it too.
