Anyone in the UK see the ITV report on this last night?
The way that the UK and US governments have treated these people for the last 40 years is attrocious, and against International Law.
The UK High Court found against the Government in 2000... their response was a Royal Decree issued in June this year (ie Election Day) overturning the Courts.
The way the US wont even let the native population visit their Ancestral Cemetary (UK Government at least Chartered a boat for them) is just well out of order.
The fact that 40 years ago both the UK Government lied to Parliament and the US Government lied to Congress in order for the "Lease" to go ahead, does not stop this outrage occuring today... Especially as the US has already stated they wish to extend the lease.
Hell they even hid the cost of the lease as a "Discount" on Polaris, to keep it from Congress orginally.
