british Base troops in their usual soft touch have decided to smash the windows and doors of the homes of the 8 Iraqis that are protesting on the tower.

Their protest calls for a British passport after 7 years of legal residence in the Bases.

As payback the British troops destroyed the homes, removed the furniture and created 8 homeless families with children with no where to live now. They are proceeding to make 37 more families homeless by removing the doors and windows making their homes uninhabitable.

Watched SkyNews and BBc didn't see it being reported.
BRAVO BRITAIN!!!

for the record, you can check with cyprus mail as well.. "British Troops" had nothing to do with the riots etc.. they were not called upon. The SBA Cops (Cypriot Employed) were the ones handling the situation..

DT on a side note have you thought the implications of the British Bases giving those people British passports??
Imo our Government is such an idiot that is actually pushing her fate. She should have already taken the Iranians under her custody and provide them political asylum. A few more people over the already 2000 we hve is a drop in the ocean.

I'm not a fan of asylum seekers either Pyro...but pulling kids out of their homes and taking the doors windows and fridges is something that gets my gut all tangled up.

The funny thing is that as sensitive as they are in the UK about political correctness and asylum seekers it sems the oppossite in the SBA's...

The Sky network is owned by Ruport Murdoch - the same guy who owns The Sun newspaper. Too say they are right of centre is an understatement.

The BBC is very biased and censors anything anti british.

When the boarders first opened in cyprus and there was passage between the illegally held territories and he free areas, you would think that such would have made news headlines. But In the UK BBC, not a sausage. It was a 5 sec news bulletine on BBC radio, played once and that was it.

How do I know, well I was there and was listening for it, but it never came.

The BBC stinks and they say CyBC is corrupted. Yeah like F it is.

I think you're wrong. It did make news headlines, Here is the news from 22 April 2003 from the BBC's website.

The authorities in the breakaway Turkish north of Cyprus have announced that they will open access to the Greek Cypriot part of the island after nearly 30 years of enforced separation.
Turkish Cypriots will be able to go over the border, which is expected to be opened on Wednesday, for day-long crossings.
The move coincides with a series of confidence-building measures announced by the Greek-led Cypriot Government after the collapse of peace talks last month.
Until now, the two communities on Cyprus have been separated by a militarised UN buffer zone with virtually no contact between them.
While these steps will clearly go some way to ease the tension and the economic imbalance between the two communities, there are no signs that the key political issues of territory and sovereignty are any closer to being resolved, says the BBC's Tabitha Morgan in Cyprus.
Monday's announcement comes a week after the Greek Cypriots signed the European Union accession treaty paving the way for EU membership next year.
The EU says it will admit only the internationally recognised Greek part of Cyprus if the island is not unified in time for formal membership in May 2004.
'Test'
Serdar Denktash, the deputy Turkish Cypriot prime minister and son of the president, said residents of the north would be permitted to enter the south every day provided they returned by midnight.
Mr Denktash said this would be a test of whether the two sides could live together.
"Whether the Greek Cypriots allow (citizens) to enter the south is something for them to decide," Serdar Denktash said.
"This is a unilateral decision passed to build confidence and promote peace. We hope the Greek Cypriots will follow suit."
Greek Cypriot Foreign Minister George Iacovou also announced a series of proposals designed to allow trade between the two sides and to enable Turkish Cypriots to work in Greek part of the island.
The economy of northern Cyprus is in bad shape compared to that in the south, and many Turkish Cypriots are unemployed.

It didn't make such big news as the fall of the Berlin Wall, but only a Cypriot could say that the news story was as big. No government collapsed. No politicle system collapsed.

Website news, come on FFS, you call this headlines. Whatver happened to the BBC news on the tele where everyone has it. Websites are not seen by most people, certainly not the older ones.

So I say again, no headlines, my definition of not being on the national news .
