    Ascension Islanders left stranded after RAF halts flights - BBC News

    The sense of entitlement is astonishing.

    And how long before we can get all the oil from the Falklands then hand them over?

    The market based solution would be to hand over housing provision to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

      Being inefficient it will take decades before they kill them and by then they would be sub-letting....

        Although if they could get representation in UK parliament, they could get a bung off the Tories.

          Nah, it's just the BBC bigging it up as usual (the subtext being "tory cuts" have caused the cessation of flights).
          The islanders are probably quite stoical about it - islanders usually are.

            BBC are a bit slow as this has been in the news since April. If you want to see a waste of money due to incompetence then look at what they're using now as a replacement for the Ascension Islands, St. Helena, where they built a new runway yet it was too windy for planes: https://www.ft.com/content/c513794c-...56354?mhq5j=e1
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                Where they sent Napoleon. Maybe they could have cheaper flights in return for incarcerating some current politicians in damp shacks there.

                    That was St Helena . The rest of your sentiment, however, I entirely concur with.
