It's just another comment by a has-been who was probably less informed than he likes to believe.

(And, VW ... you probably have to register because you're accessing from an illegally occupied territory.)

I didn't even bother to check as I found it pretty offensive for someone to suggest that I register somewhere to read something!

How daft!

Here's another comment from today's FT ...


Still standing up to great powers

Sir, Your editorial “Cyprus endgame” (November 13) provides a succinct and balanced summary of the Cyprus situation. One sentence sums up the attitude of the great powers to the Greek Cypriots for centuries: “They believe Turkey’s rising geopolitical and economic importance makes it imperative to show Ankara that the EU will not be hostage to the Greek Cypriots forever.” The Greek Cypriots are an inconvenience to the interests of the EU and other powers and their rights and aspirations can be ignored for the greater good. You should forgive the Greek Cypriots for not going voluntarily like lambs to the slaughter.

At the risk of overdoing the cliches, you are whistling in the dark.
