I must remind you ... this was done in violation of the United Nations Charter by using lies; I am not mincing my words: they were lies, damn lies. By throwing people out of their land, the British government knowingly led many of the them to a certain death. No human being would treat another human being the way the British treated the Chagossian people. For a comparison we have to go back to the days of slavery. And for this, Britain received a thieves' ransom; and still they refuse to obey the court and let people go even to the outer islands.
mad world
you have this business where TV won't show what we see, for reasons of so-called 'bad taste.' I remember once being on the phone to a TV editor in London when Al Jazeera were asked to feed some tape of children killed and wounded by British shell fire in Basra, and the guy started saying, 'there's no point feeding us this, we can't show this.'
"The first excuse was, 'people will be having their tea, so we can't put it on,' then it was, 'this is sort of pornography, we don't show this.' And ... the last thing was, 'we have to show respect for the dead.' So we don't show any respect for them when they are alive, we blow them to bits, and then we show respect for them.
