Yes, yes, yes... thank you for that Lordo... any chance of posting that pots and pans one... one that has a more universal appeal, one that speaks in the common language of noisy kitchenware.

In the meantime, news that the Erdogan Lip-Spittle, the GB PM who goes by the name of something like Cameroon, has backed away from the chance to criticise the heavy-handed thuggery of the Erdogan's Storm-Troopers, to do the right-thinking thing... by saying...

"...Obviously the events taking place in Istanbul are disturbing and concerning and what I'd say is that it's very important that everyone shows a proper sense of responsibility. And that is the view that I take about what needs to happen. But let me just reinforce the point that I do think Turkey's progress overall is something that other countries have quite rightly looked up to."...

What a loada bum-licking and disgraceful pollocks...!!! ... :evil:

Unlike Mr Cameroon's apology for Erdogan, Amnesty International were far more truthful with their statements on the events of Tuesday...


“...Never has there been a time when police violence was this widespread and this sustained. It is unprecedented,” Andrew Gardner, the group's Turkey researcher, told The Independent.

“Police have been using tear gas as a punitive measure, rather than for crowd dispersal as it is intended. There have been cases where police are firing directly at protesters, causing serious head injuries. They are also firing tear gas into buildings, which can be very dangerous.”

He added: “The violence we saw [on Tuesday] was a direct result of inflammatory statements made by him (...Erdogan...).”...

To fully understand, you need to realise that this was a response to a sarcastic comment made by Erdoğan with reference to supporters of the protests who were banging pots and pans on balconies: "Tencere tava hep aynı hava" [Pots and pans - the same old tune]. In response, they have produced a very original and innovative piece of music using only kitchen implements as instruments and have exploited the full range of sound that these are capable of producing - to come up with a result that is anything but 'the same old tune'.

The expected police intervention did not occur last night in Taksim; instead there was a Classic piano concert by Sicilian Davide Martello!

This morning, 42 people were arrested by the police in the vicinity of Gezi Park on the grounds that they were wearing safety helmets and/or gas masks or medical masks (as the protestors have taken to doing in order to protect themselves).

Chemical tyrant Erdogan does not recognize decisions coming from the European Parliament now and thinks Stefan Fule is out to get him.

And this 'I don't recognize European Parliament decision, Turkish PM Erdoğan says' my dear friends, says it all about Turkey, no respect for anyone or anything. Imagine them in the EU and throwing these tantrums. I mean bloody hell!

Camaron, but be cringing having licked Turkeys ass and now hearing this. :lol: :lol:

He's given them a 24 hour deadline.

Oh boy.... I'm thinking he's gonna send in the troops.
