Why does the quick facts box say there is one permanent inhabitant? The official government website says that there is no permanent population and I can't find any other source supporting the number of 1. 2001:9E8:A33D:9D00:A59F:3C46:AE08:8BCF (talk) 21:17, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the permanent population to 0. It must have been a typo or subtle vandalism that occurred months ago. DDMS123 (talk) 21:22, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It would seem that America in its deference to the UK, forbade a British supreme court mission from entering the area where the Supreme Court has absolute jurisdiction in this regard. What is next? Folks told they can't visit the Isle of Wight perhaps? So much for the much vaunted "rule of law" from the country that today is pillorying Russia for its barbarity yet has committed far far worse barbarity against humans during Vietnam, GW1, GW2, Afghanistan and we were all told it was not fair to slam the US for its absolute despicable waging of war of which Diego Garcia played a part. I think it is time for Keir Starmer to grow some balls and tell the US military to get off our land, it is a British territory, the Chagossians are British subjects. 92.25.15.10 (talk) 17:49, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
