The heartbeat of a nation, the much-maligned peasant ..... is it time for the latent Cypriot peasant to have an uprising?

Losing land to Brit retirees, Turkish thieves, legal economic migrants. The whole economy is about to go pear-shaped and explode!

So time to go back to basics!

Let the peasants rule the land and straighten out politics ....

Remove the Turks, employ the money-starved Brits to toil the soil and put your back into some home-grown back-to-basics philosophy and stop being pretentious!

Peasants Revolt and Reclaim!

[Floda]

The Brits, Yanks and Turks are already revolting enough for everyone.

Leave the peasants alone, at least they have still got some self-respect.

Good Grief !, what on earth are YOU doing voicing an opinion, surely you are out of your depth when you venture beyond your 'One Liners' and 'Smilies' in the Games section.

Maybe some back-to-basics, getting one's hands dirty, all mucking in type of thinking may rid us of this precious mantle of letting others take charge of our lives.

We can heal Cyprus from the roots up ...... Pitch forks at the ready! Advance.....

It doesn't have to be all potatoes for us nouvelle peasants .....

We can march on our stomachs with this fine:

Peasant's Pie

4 medium potatoes cooked and mashed

Sauce
1/2 cups chicken gravy
1/2 cup cheesy gravy

Filling
1 each onion chopped
3 each carrots sliced
1 each green bell pepper diced
1/2 lb. broccoli florets cut up
1/4 lb. green beans
1 bunch spinach torn into bite size pieces

Directions.

Steam vegetables (except spinach) about 15 minutes, until crisp-tender.
Remove from heat.
Stir in spinach and 2 cups gravy. Spoon this filling into a 9x12 inch baking dish.
Spread mashed potatoes over the top.
Sprinkle with a small amount of paprika.
Bake for 30 minutes.


Yumm!

heard that saying the other day for the first time - Charlies revenge?

Oracle and Floda claiming that some cypriots are/were peasants?

[CBBB]

The fact is that 40 years ago the majority of Cypriots had a peasant lifestyle. This does not mean that they were ignorant or stupid, but they worked mainly on the land, had there chickens, goats, rabbits etc., and lived in small villages.

The fact that the word peasant, when used in a modern context, has negative connotations does not reflect on the peasants of old.

The negative connotations are from envy.

"When Adam delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?"

Civilisation started when the most intelligent Humans gave up their hunter/gatherer nomadic lives and settled as peasants to manage the land.

This land is your land, this land is my land from Polis to the Karpas!

Now it has been taken away to make Bases, illegal occupations, Brit-villes.

We need a Revolution, an Uprising, in the style of past peasant Revolts and give back Cyprus to the native peasant people.

Power to the Peasant!
