ALL the problems in Cyprus are caused by foreign invadors. If foreign invadors didn't invade Cyprus then what problem would Cyprus have???? It would have NO PROBLEM AT ALL. We would live free in peace on our own island and only foreigners that we liked and they liked us would come here. Not invadors that come with force and want to take our rights and our land!

Would you have still turned Cyprus into Greece?

We would turn it to whatever we wanted. Peacefully, democratically and without any foreigners to force us what to do. Thats how Cyprus would be without foreign invadors!

Shut up Viewpoint ... you have no right to say what Cyprus should and should not do for its future ... You walked out of any such rights when you sold us to the Turks.

Cease your blithering mutterings foolish one ...

When I started this thread it was written, partly tongue in cheek but also in a forlorn attempt to show those GCs who wish to blame their present woes on anybody but on themselves, what the alternative would probably have been if the British had not come to the island.

These same GCs are either incapable of accepting or refuse to accept the current situation is the result of the actions of a far from inconsiderable number of their current neighbours . I expect it is the later reason.

Surely it is the TCs living in the north and elsewhere who should be blaming the British, as with Turkey in control of the island, they would never have sufferred so badly as they did from 1963 until they were liberated in 1974.

Of course, if Greece had stood by its obligations in WW1 and gone to the aid of Serbia, then Britain would have ceded the island to Greece. Greece, however, thinking that it would not be on the winning side decided to leave Serbia to its fate. I only recently learned of this part of history and wonder why I have not haerd anything of this from GCs. Conveniently forgotten I guess.

Please forgive me for reverting to the British/English sub thread but someone, I forget who, says they have never
come across anyone Scottish, Welsh or from Northern Island who calls themselves British. One can only assume they have never met any because to say that most don't is absolute rubbish. My wife for one is Welsh but considers herself British first, Welsh second. People may consider themselves one of these entities first and the other second and others may feel both equally. Try finding a non Catholic in N.Ireland who does not consider himself/herself patriotically British.. you could probably count them on one hand. Incidentally these non Catholics mainly originated in Scotland.

Most of what you assert is rubbish ... except the bit that refers to Bubbles saying that Scots etc do not consider themselves British ... she still does not understand the difference between calling oneself English / Scottish or British ...

I can't believe I put up with their ignorance for so long ... :roll:

What is it they say about 'great minds think alike'???

Question for you Phoenix. What is your husband's nationality please?
I can only speak from personal experiences - but just to confirm what I have written I will conduct a survey over the next month or so and I will ask any Brit I meet what they consider themselves to be (English, Irish etc) and what language they prefer to use? Will that satisfy your ignorance????

If Britain had not become involved in Cyprusin 1878 and it had remained in Ottoman control it is a fact that the Cyprus problem faced today would never had existed.

There would never have been British bases (facsist British according to some contributors in other associated topics but who don't comprehend the meaning of the word).

Greek Cypriots would not, therefore, have faced the horrific choice of deciding whether or not to gain employment on the bases nor would they have sufferred from making money from the not unsubstantial cash the bases and the British brought to the island and continue to bring to the economy. Tourism too being another curse would not have brought further employment and substantial revenue to anywhere near the levels it does but that doesn't really matter as it would be a Turkish possession anyway.

Damn Britain !!

Worst of all Piratis and Phoenix would have to find another outlet for their sad and pathetic hate and reasonable people would be unable to feel sorry for them.

This is the sorta British wanks I hate ..... and the Blairs

The title of this thread is the biggest load of shite that has been posted here.If it hadn't been for the British,then there wouldn't even be a country called Cyprus.Cyprus would have continued to go down the crapper had it remained under Turkish rule after 1878.

You moaners should thank your lucky stars that the British took over Cyprus when they did.They were the best colonial power that has ever ruled Cyprus.

The countries that are responsible for the Cyprus Problem are the two so-called 'guarantor powers' - Greece & Turkey! They've been using Cyprus as a pawn in their braindead games.Neither Enosis nor Taksim is desireable.There should be only one country called Cyprus in this world - one that's neither Greek nor Turkish,but Cypriot! Eventually,both parts of the island will reunite under a new name - the Federal Republic of Cyprus! Nicosia will be a reunited capital city like Berlin is.

As for the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri & Dhekelia,they're here to stay! You muppets should read the text of the 1959 Cypriot Independence Agreement that was signed by the late Archbishop Makarios III in London.The S.B.A.s have provided employment for thousands of ordinary Cypriots.They are also the biggest contributor to the Cypriot economy along with tourism.If there were no S.B.A.s,then the Cypriot economy would have gone down the crapper.

Aidan, look at the initial post again and read it properly. It's agreeing with you, it's tongue in cheek, ironic, sarcastic......!!!

Why do so many people miss this? Irony bypass??
