With no serious candidate contesting the upcoming Clacton by-election, Farage’s gamble appears to have backfired with his hopes of shifting the narrative away from his finances thrown in the Bin(face). So what’s actually going to happen now?

you whitewash Britain saying they have citizens living on the island for a long time- WRONG
= no whitewashing hereBritain is the biggest THIEF and colonizer and its past is coming to haunt it.@savethebeesplantherbs8809
January 3, 2024 at 4:40 am
each should get a MP that way all issues are discussed and resolved in Westminster and they should all be unified with the uk as full British citizens have a referendum on that we are better together as one

It shows European brain developed recently. They should also think after this much colonial and it's related genocide and loot. Who will help these animals brain under human body in Bad time.

I don’t think you mentioned the island that the Queen‘s sister, Princess Margaret, lived for many years, at least part time, entertaining well endowed, criminals and drinking a lot of alcohol. Mystique is its name. isn’t that a crown dependency? It seemed like the princess had a dependency on a lot of gin and well endowed 😂criminals . oh, grow up!

Good… Keep tied with those teritories, make them prosper… Don't let them out… Be patient all… We waiting for the good thing… Ameen…🌐🇬🇧❤️

I don't think any of the territories could survive as independent. Their populations and economies are too small
@michaelbaker5501

I feel like the UK should annex all it's territories like France did

Just look at the mess currently happening in Haiti (200 years of self-rule and total calamity with 3% elite ruling the other 97%) for reason to want to remain a British territory. Great Britain is a top 5 largest GDP country in the world, solid and not going anywhere soon.
@johannjohann6523
January 3, 2024 at 4:40 am
wow The Falkland Islands are almost 1,000 miles from S. America coast? They are isolated. Say what you want, but under British rule all of these "territories" enjoy a level of economic benefit otherwise would not be seen. Look at how Britain built up Hong Kong which became the leader in far east banking and major manufacturing.

I've been to a couple of these places. Would love to go to BIOT/Diego Garcia, but not likely to happen for a long time if people who were born there can't even go there. Coolest flag of the bunch – if not the world too!

Its sick what the British did to people as they steal land and take control around the world. Because of British we cant be as free as we should be on earth. So glad i have zero British decent in my heritage. Give peoples land back without making them a common wealth or whatever…. im talking Complete 100 percent independence.

With recent events in mind, should a large fleet of CCP controlled ships ever arrive at any of these islands, I would be prepared to make a very large wager that the vote would be 100% in favour of keeping the status quo so I would. 😁

The way I see it, these are the remains of the British Empire. The territories that wanted to leave badly enough to try to leave have long since left. The territories that weren’t worth the cost have been kicked out. What Britain considers worth defending is what someone else would consider worth attacking, and being part of Britain means they don’t have to come up with their own militaries.
