Fair point about the title CJ - if I remember justice for Chagossians figured in the latest Labour manifesto, likely due to Corbyn & Momentum's efforts. John said: 'he's no journalist, he has a conscience and a deep moral perspective' - well, in an ideal world with +real+ journalists actually holding the powerful to account conscience and morality wouldn't be excluded, but I agree that's not the case today! Here's the video of the Alex Salmond show where Murray is interviewed. It starts from around 15:00 but the first half is worth watching for the 'president in exile' of the Chagos people who makes an important critique of the ICJ ruling in that it seems to be handing rights to Mauritius and not the islanders themselves, who appear to want to remain British citizens:
cheers, I
