The Cypriot identity is a myth

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

No, we won't if, by implication, you won't pay any attention to at least a third of the Cypriot nation (a whole third!) who had no option but to flee Cyprus because of extreme economic hardship, foreign exploitation, political persecution, inter-communal violence, war, division and homelessness but who nevertheless kept the memory of a free, united and unpolarised Cyprus alive in their hearts, and in their children's hearts.

Cypriots who had the indomitable spirit to campaign tirelessly for justice and for freedom for their ancestral homeland and for all its people in the cold, uncaring and discriminatory foreign lands in which they find themselves.


You're doing a great job. Now, do you have any idea whatsoever about what a typical 16 yr old Cypriot kid is growing up like or a typical 30 yr old Cypriot is raising a young family like?


Some... but I try not to let it burst my bubble. The alternative is to spend my time watching "Britain's got talented immigrant fools" on TV.

When Greece began her fight for freedom from the Ottomans it was the diaspora wot helped inspire it! (As I understand)

Lets hope you'll give us the same inspiration from Chingford if we're ever called to arms over here.

Today, I had some trades people come over to build my retaining wall in the back and at lunch time I gave them a bottle of water. The guy looked at it and said “Loutraki?” and I goes… “Yeah, well I just picked it up from a supermarket in a hurry!” so as soon as I left I heard him ask the other guy who knew me… “Ma en kalamaras?” :lol:
