Here’s the tragic end to the Diego Garcia story, which covers up the House of Lords’ decision a year ago to deny the Chagossians the right to return to their homeland. Speaking of tragic outcomes, after a massive turnout in Maine, prop 1 was passed yesterday banning same-sex marriage in the state. I’m thinking of doing a piece on the money trail behind the yes campaign – which also worked in California, so stay tuned.
Here’s the next page of my Diego Garcia comic – those of you new to the site, skip back using the previous posts on the toolbar to the right, or else visit the COMIX page to read the whole thing as a slideshow. Thanks for all your support, and remember to spread the word about the Chagossians’ struggle.
Beyond that, you can take steps from wherever you are in the world here – just follow the ‘How you can help’ link on the left toolbar.Donating aside, you can directly contact the relevant MPs who are defending the British government’s stance on the issue, as well as read their little back and forth in the House of Commons from back in 2004. If you’re a brit, it’s worth registering at theyworkforyou.com – it’s a free, easy way of keeping tabs on exactly what your local MP is doing for you. And if you’re American, then remember to support the Vote No on 1 campaign in Maine and help stop the ban on same-sex marriage that went through here in California last year.
