Plus the fact that Turkish cheese can piss all over Greek cheese any day of the year is another good example of her lies and the incompetance of the Greek people

Do you really think there's a difference? Goats are Goats and Sheep are Sheep...

The local papers yesterday were screaming about the CHOCOLATE snatched from a childs HAND that was purchased in the South, whether true or not I don't know (or an exaggeration of an incident) but, let me assure you I haven't yet spoken to anyone, foreign or Turkish Cyp who agree with this ban on goods from the South.

Tess,

If it's any consolation, I bet the TC customs officer who took the bar of chocolate away from the kid, more than likely did not thrown it away, but ate it himself.

This is how I see it :

1. Some customs' officers are plain daft. Some customs' officers are 'jobsworths'. Some customs' officers are over-zelaous. Some customs' officers relish their little bit of power. Examples of these customs' officers you can find all over the world, on the Green Line included.

2. Business associations in the north have got some political clout as Tessintrnc said, and any competition/hardship that they may suffer they can pass on to citizens and consumers through new state regulations (so much for business claiming to be champions of private enterprise!)

3. Public finance, including taxation and duty regime, in the TRNC is dreadful. Policy is contradictory, inconsistent, appalingly implemented and capricious and subject to clear special interest lobbies. Why, you might ask does a chocolate bar attract an absolute penalty from the public purse (removal from a border-crossing child by a public employee offcial) when brothel owners are rewarded from the public purse (sex tourism promoted, sex workers encouraged and brotherl owners protected).

4. The economic isolation anbd subsequent dependency on Turkish economic and fiscal policy compound the difficulties faced by ordinary citizens wishing to cross with a chocolate bar, an IKEA plantpot or a half kilo of helim.

All relevant Copperline. To adult for the crowd that is viewing at the moment though. Childish comments are much better reasons before the watershed.

The Embargoes are dictating how things are run and the TRNC can't just let the "RoC" get away with it. Sorry for trying to fight against oppression guys

Oh Lord, not that we are oppressed we have no choice but to loot churches and sell land that does not belong to us crap again. Give us a break man!

It is lucky that the Cyprus Information Offices publishes a daily review ot the TC press, otherwise I would be forced to believe that the writings of Zan, VP et al are truly representative of TCs in general, and I would tear my hair out.

[Nikitas]

RoC is not getting away with anything.Ikea and Orfanidis and Carrefour are. Cant beat old fashioned capitalism. You offer cheap brothels and casinos, we have big time stores for the whole family. Wonder who will prevail.
