This is a good example of what is wrong with Greece and Cyprus. his Beastitude is creaming his rasa over a corpse as if it is a big deal and the Greek Government thinks its a good idea to use a Military Aircraft to transport such trivial bollocks to Cyprus at great expense whilst 37% of the island is occupied and Greece is on the brink.

We are a bunch of neocon imbeciles who just don't have our priorities right. But what do you expect from an idiot worshipped by stupid female Cypriots who just can't seem to let go of his Beastitude's rasa?

Saint Andrew's rotten head imish... :roll:

Next they might even transport his bollocks and his brain in a C130 because they seem to be in short supply...

We have to respect our cultural traditions that tie us to Saint Andrew. He is our link with our ~ Israeli friends ~ ...

Yes well cultural, economic and defence links with Israel and Greece are always a good idea, but I don't think it is the responsibility of the HAF making such spiritual contributions when these aircraft could be utilized more appropriately.

It is the connection between State and religion which is very unhealthy. Use of military aircraft for this purpose is absolutely not on, when the aircraft could be put to better use training pilots.

Well, yes, very curious that a few week's ago very few turned up at the barricades to protest the Invasion and yet '000s turn up to welcome a supposed relic... :(
