Petition Return the BIOT to British People

BIOT has been in the sole hands of the US government for nearly 50 years, the British people in this time have spent billion if not trillions being forced to use alternative destinations such as the Maldives, Seychelles, Africa, Southern Europe.

More details

Seychelles - 600m$ per annum http://goo.gl/gNE0KC
Maldives - 325m$ per annum https://goo.gl/CiyBmX

Just there alone is 725m$ lost per annum on two island chains, let alone Africa, and Southern Europe, should BIOT be opened up to the UK populace, developers and investors would be sure to be found to develop the islands, further more tourism would boom as it has everything people in the UK look for in a holiday, and all generated revenuers would end up in the UK kitty as it is a UK OS Territory.
