Mehmet Ali Talat is due to visit Britain soon to discuss progress towards a solution to the Cyprus problem with PM Gordon Brown.

He and President Christofias have been urged by the international community to secure a solution "BY Cypriots FOR Cypriots" (a phrase coined by Brown himself and from which there can be no turning back).

If Talat were brave enough he could do his people and the whole of Cyprus a huge service by claiming political asylum. As a Cypriot and EU citizen, he could request protection from Turkey for his genuine political beliefs.

He could explain to the waiting internationaL media, outside No 10, that, although he was the elected leader of the TC people, it was impossible for him to act solely in their interests in negotiations to reunify Cyprus.

He could explain that this was because of the stranglehold Turkey and its military had over him; a military which wished to maintain its control of the northern third of the island for its own geo-strategic purposes, even if this was at the expense of the TC people, not to mention the Cypriot people as a whole.

Such an act by Talat would be the catalyst needed to solve the Cyprus problem once and for all, rendering Turkey's presence in Cyprus a complete anomaly before the eyes of the whole world.

Overnight, Talat would become a hero in Cyprus. Turkey's military would have no option but to withdraw in shame, its tail firmly wedged between its knees. All statues of Ataturk in the north would be replaced by statues of Mehmet Ali Talat.

Come on Mr Talat! Be brave. Think of the publicity. Think of the book deals!

It's time for you to relinquish the artificial political asylum that is the "TRNC" and claim real political asylum in the UK.

Be a hero. Not a zero. Don't be a weed, lead!

Come along Comrade Talat!

Show all the CYs that you have the courage of your convictions. You can end this Thing with two sentences.....

Denounce the Occupation and Turkish Meddling on the steps of No.10 .

He is not going to be allowed into No 10 like your vertically challenged Muhtar, is he? If that is not upgrading Talat to Top Muhtar, I don't know what is.

If he claims asylum he will be upgraded to top muhtar by the Cypriot people as a whole, make no mistake!

Absolutely. Top Official Muhktar , share of a Nobel Peace Prize and the much valued CF Order of the Mouflon.

But seriously he would also be serving the interests and hopes of the people who elected him as their spokesperson on the back of the popular, anti-Regime, anti-Denktosh, pro-EU sentiment of some four years ago.

Certainly let his constituents down with his pro-Turkish rhetoric since then hasn't he?

The man's got an opportunity to put his money where his mouth was four years ago.

Seriously. He'd go down in history; every politicians dream!

Can someone get a message to him? YFred? insan? This is it, guys. Talat can remove your isolation in one fell swoop; and be elected the new president of a reunited Cyprus. Guaranteed!

No more second class status. The first citizen will be a TC!

We will just have to accept the second best thing which is upgrading him to Top Muhtar status. He was in no 10 few years back and to my surprise there was a YFred clan member in his ontoraj. Now Isn't that something? I wonder if it'll be the same this time?

Of course, the YFred clan member will need to claim political asylum alongside our brave, new heroic leader, Mehmet (we are not worthy) Talat - who will stop at nothing to secure an end to the isolation for his long-suffering people.

Indeed, Talat's whole entourage will have to be in on the plan, or face certain arrest on return to the collapsing northern military regime. You ought to warn them, YFred.

... Don't be a weed, lead!

I think Talat would have more success trying to stop his brothers introducing 90% of the heroin into the UK, first!

YFred clan do not need to claim political asylum, we have independence in Lurucina. Try going there without showing your passport (TCs inc). Only Lurucadis are allowed in old boy.

The subject of Talat claiming political asylum is serious, what's your real name John McEnroe? You've got to be joking?

Humour is a funny way of being serious, YFred. I'm glad you find it so funny; because this thread is incredibly serious.
