The Commonwealth & Cyprus

Postby Davidindevon » Tue Mar 19, 2013 11:33 pm

As members of the Commonwealth it is my firm belief that we have an absolute obligation to help our Cypriot friends in time of need. Some time ago the UK lent Ireland 5bn Euro to help them when they were in financial difficulties. This being fact surely the richer Commonwealth countries, including the UK, should offer Cyprus similar aid to cover their current needs. This loan would be offered at very favourable rates over a long period of time. Additionally we should offer them every help in getting out of the Euro and returning to the CY Pound.

The UK should sort out its own problems first. They are far, far bigger.

(They cannot even afford to pay for the Bases they abuse. :wink: )

That is a disappointing response but you obviously have separate issues that I am not aware of. Also please note I did say 'Commonwealth countries'.

Do you speak for the other Commonwealth countries? Is that the prevailing Imperialist way? :wink:

I would prefer if it was 10 bn Euro going to help the Cypriot people but even you will accept that such things do not happen overnight.

You are obviously a very bitter lady for reasons I obviously do not know. Maybe you would prefer a form of Russian Imperialism as purveyed by Putin and his lackeys. Good luck to you if that is the case.

Mate... the UK doesn't even pay what they own us for the bases. Personally I think the whole "Commonweath" thing is ridiculous. Totally unrelated countries with the only thing common that they were under British rule :roll:
