I don't know if you could hear that there, but the situation is that people fleeing Mauritius because of a policy change made by the Labour government are coming into Hillingdon
0:07
and it's going to be very, very difficult to house them. How does that make you feel
0:13
Karen, could I start with you? People fleeing a policy decision, they could be homeless
0:18
How do you feel? Yes, we fled, we are fleeing Mauritius because of the criminal code, and we have so many discriminations there
0:28
We don't have opportunity to have a good job. We don't have the chance to have a good life there
0:43
We are people, black people, it's not safe in Mauritius. Yes, we are
0:52
When they know that we are Sargoshan, we are not safe in Mauritius
1:01
It's an incredible situation, Steve Mandarine. Your beautiful brother was on the show last week
1:06
I was absolutely moved to tears. I was literally moved to tears by him. What an astonishing individual
1:11
Chagossians are proud Brits. Yes. Let's be frank. Do you consider yourselves British
1:16
I think you guys are British as me. and yet a British Prime Minister seems to be turning his back on your community
1:22
How do you feel? Yes, basically it's a betrayal to the British people, the taxpayers and to the Sarkozyns
1:29
because this deal doesn't benefit anyone. It doesn't benefit the British people. It doesn't benefit the country
1:36
The only thing that this deal is serving is serving Mauritius. And now, today, we found out the embassy, the Chinese embassy in Mauritius
1:46
just congratulate Mauritius on securing that deal And they are looking forward to work on their trade agreement And a lot of people a lot of people are very fearful of Beijing getting closer to Mauritius because hey
2:01
99 years to the Chinese, it's a blink of an eyelid. Exactly. And it is a strategic place where it is right in the middle
2:08
of the Indian Ocean. And basically, we feel like this government doesn't listen to us at all
2:16
OK, Steve and Karen, could I get a clip on screen now sent to me by Vanessa
2:22
Yes. And this is of Chugosians. Your brother Misle was saying that he will now stand for Nigel Farage
2:30
Seems that Chugosians may be supporting Nigel Farage because, of course, the Reform Party has said
2:35
that they might try and tear this deal up and reverse it. An incredible situation
2:39
Do you guys feel also that you'll be back in reform? I believe that reform is doing a great job, right
2:45
trying to bring the country together and helping those who basically don't have a voice
2:51
because our voice and our human right was taken from us. Karen, what about you
2:57
I mean, it seems an unlikely political movement. Of course, people always say Nigel Farage, he's against immigration
3:04
He's been one of the few politicians that have stuck up for you guys. Because I know that he..
3:13
He, like you say, I know he's with us
3:30
He's on your side. Yes. You feel like he's on your side. And I think that's something that's come through
3:34
with all the Turgotians that have come into this studio. I feel abandoned by the establishment
3:40
Thank you very, very much, Karen and Steve. Thank you, sir. Pleasure to have your complete thanks for coming to the studio tonight
