that one of the reasons for President Trump coming out so clearly and strongly yesterday is that the UK has, as the headline says, been blocking Trump from using our Royal Air Force bases for strikes on Iran, especially there's the key base RAF Fairford, which is where the US heavy

bombers for all of Europe are stationed.

There's quite a few of them there.

And apparently they've been using legal arguments to say that a strike on Iran would not necessarily be legal.

And so they're not going to let the U.S.

use the bases.

And this legal argument is something that they've brought up before with not supporting the strikes on the drug boats as well.

So this raises a whole bunch of questions, some of which we started with yesterday about where the UK stands in terms of an ally and if it's really a Five Eyes quality partner.

Well, the good news is that the UK has finally decided to start to deport people.

They've issued deportation orders to the four Chagosians who got to Chagos Archipelago.

So British Chagosians on British territory are now ordered deported.

But, yes, there is a very serious issue.

That's that's absolutely right.

You've got four Chagosians, including one that was so Chagos.

So Diego Garcia is in an archipelago of islands called the Chagos Archipelago.

And again, I'm concerned that the focus has really been on Diego Garcia and not all of these other islands, which are forming a protective barrier around along with their their territorial waters around Chagos, around Diego Garcia.

And four Chagossians, including one that was forcibly expelled from the islands when he was 14 by the British, have now gone back home.

And those are the four people.

And they're very pro-American.

They want to name an island after President Trump.
