I have even said the SBA should go, so wind yer neck in bonny lad when it comes to calling me any sort of Turkish Sympathiser.
That's a start, gov.
Now what you need to do next is condemn Britian's part in what is the West's disgrace regarding the division of Cyprus. Because the British were also willing accomplices to the events of 1974. They denied the absolutely majority's right to self-determination instead adopting a policy of divide-and-rule. Because it was the British who encouraged taksim by enlisting TC's to assist them in oppressing the Kyproi. And after the heroes of EOKA humiliated the British occupation army, it was UK policy to divide the country and this was so to ensure your bases would remain permanent. That's why you did nothing to assist Cyprus when the Turks invaded. So please don't pass yourself off as a "friend" of Cyprus especially when you have that blood-soaked flag of imperalism and oppression as your avatar.
I do not hate Greeks 7- what I hate are the Geek (sic) wanabees like GIG and others who want to destroy the RoC and subordinate Cypriot interests to the Greek alleged motherland.
Now this is going be worth the laugh, but please explain exactly how Greece is going to destroy Cyprus. What's even funnier is that you should accuse Greece of this when Mother England has done its bit together with Turkey. Greece stands by Cyprus to unite the country but the UK continues to support the division. Even recently Jack Straw stated Cyprus should be divided. So what are you even doing in Cyprus? Obviously supporting the UK's position on Cyprus and which is to ensure it remains divided. Because in case you havent noticed the UK's influence in Europe has completely waned. Seriously, who even listens to the UK in Europe. It's all about France and Germany. But Cyprus offers you the opportunity to have say in the affairs of a European country, doesn't it. Because if it weren't for the British supported Turkish occupation, no one in Cyprus or Greece would give a monkey's arse what you think. Most importantly, at the end of the day as a Brit when you decide to leave Cyprus then that's it, you'll go back to your warm beer and fish n' chips. Before you moved there, did you even care about Cyprus. Of course not. As for myself as as a Greek, Cyprus has always been my other country, my priority and its pain is also my pain. Can you honestly claim the same as an clueless interloper? As for Cyprus being subordinate to Greece, it's the Turks and UK who are trying to draw Greece into the negotiation table. Greece is saying that any dialogue needs to be between Turkey and Cyprus, the latter as its own sovereign state. The so-called "neo-Cypriots" accuse Greece of abandoning them, but what we're doing is assuring Cyprus' independence and making sure the island will never be divided between Greece and Turkey, as the the Turks and UK want. Our close relations with the Arabs has assured that the IOC doesn't recognise the illegal statelet in the north despite Turkey becoming more Islamic now. And even with the current rapproachment between Cyprus and Israel, Greece protected Cyprus' interests by recently speaking in support of Palestinian statehood to appease the Arabs and make sure they don't vocally criticise Cyprus, something the Turks are hoping for. So gov, don't you, as a Brit, even dare claim you care more about Cyprus than me, a Greek. And we made sure Cyprus got into the EU and which is about to take the presidency. What has the UK done for Cyprus? Absolutely nothing...well, tourism only.
As for the Anglo Saxon invasion and cultural replacement theory, there is I think some evidence (recorded by Julius Ceasar) that the Belgiea, who occupied a part of Britain and a part of Northern Franceand what is now Belgian before the Romans, spoke a Germanic language for many years, if not several centuries, before the Romans arrived in Britain and the Anglo saxon conquest was more like the revival of tribal war that had been supressed during the Roman Occupation.. See '
http://www.proto-english.org/index.html, Indeed very few Anglo Saxins came in, may be 35000 to 50000 over perhaps a 150 years and as is argued on this site while they acheived a measure of elitist supremacy after they lost power the written langauge became a written version of the earlier spoken form. Francis Pryor has otherwise shown continued cultral practices from pre-Roman times to the 14th Century that would probbaly not have survived the mass replacement theories that you propogate.
Ha ha, nice try Dr Frankenstien. The original Britons were dark-haired and had dark eyes, hence why they're more common features amongst the Scots (eg Sean Connery) and Welsh (eg Ryan Giggs). And there was a movement of population during the Anglo-Saxon invasion, as the original Britons migrated to Wales and Britanny in France.
Now go boil your head, bonny lad or even better crawl back into the hole you have been hiding in for the last three years.
Let's get one thing straight. I didn't crawl out of no hole. I crawled out from under a rock. My chiropractor recommended it for back, and hey, it seems to have worked!
