Just read in an article this morning that the islands were uninhabited until the late 18th century when the French brought slaves over to work on coconut plantations. The Chagossians are th descendants of freed slaves.
I'm not saying that this negates their claims (they've earned ownership of the islands you could argue) I just found it interesting.

London-centric post alert!
The Royal Observatory Greenwhich are hosting a series of evening events featuring a live planetarium show, observing outside with modern telescopes and then a tour round the Great Equatorial Telescope. I'm booked on one in January, looking forward to it.
