The U-turn on Ascension Islanders' rights shows that military wishes
mean more to the Foreign Office

Bringing democracy to parts of the world that cruise missiles never
reach is a long job. As the new century dawned it was gratifying,
therefore, to see democracy reach Ascension Island, one of the last
relics of the British empire.
Ascension is 35 square miles of clinker, lying just south of the
equator and 750 miles from St Helena. The Portuguese discovered it in
1501 but took little further interest. It has served the British well,
though, since 1812, when the Royal Navy first occupied it to stop the
French using it as a base from which to rescue Napoleon Bonaparte from
St Helena.
