THE BRAVE GENERAL AND HIS HEROIC SOLDIERS
A seven-years-old child was murdered in Larnaca by the “brave-hearted” men of Harding, who, unable to face the fighters of Cyprus ordered his soldiers to shoot even the little children, thinking that in this way he would scare the people of Cyprus.
Cervantes’ hero, Don Quixote, mistakenly attacked wind-mills because he had the illusion that he was attacking live enemies. Harding, whose mind no longer thinks clearly because of his many defeats, ordered the shooting of little children, defenseless creatures, because he knew that none of them could offer resistance.
The little boy’s murder occurred like this:
There was a demonstration in Larnaca. English soldiers armed like lobsters were afraid to approach St. Lazarus square where the demonstrators awaited them with rocks in their hands. In order to intimidate the crowd they preferred to show their “heroism” by shooting at a shop in a side street of Agis Onisiforos where four or five children had gathered.
Harding’s troops murdering a young child…how brave! The soldiers realized that there would be a protest and ran away as if they were chased by the ghost of the dead child.
The general protest was so great that even an English woman who knew the innocent child burst into tears when she learned of the murder.
.... I think you missed this one from over the page .....
Hi O. No the original post mentioned Murder Mile in Nicosia and you posted "was that when the Brits were shooting Cyp School children?"
I couldn't find evidence of any in Nicosia, the article here is quoting Larnaca. It nevertheless is an interesting piece of anti-UK propaganda. Breaking the whole article down it is, in my opinion, making a mountain out of the proverbial molehill. It is 100% biased and has very cleverly worded embellishing. I must admit I hadn't found this piece before you posted it though
GCs and TCs were indeed killed by British forces. There is no propaganda about it.
Deniz .... May I have a word?
I have noticed a certain amount of uncalled for, uncharacteristic "subliminal" level of support from your good self to the last .... ooohhh .... about half a dozen posts we have exchanged ....
Not complaining! .... just that it is a little unnerving and it has set me wondering ......
Are you feeling guilty about something?
