I live in the UK , I get involved in local politics , I'm highly critical on many issues and if someone uttered that stupid phrase " if you dont like it here why do you stay " I shall react quite angrily. All citizens have a perfect right to voice their approval or disapproval of varying issues provided such disapproval is within the levels of acceptability and within the law.I for instance , have never had much time for Royalty or Religion for that matter , but I do not chain my self outside a church , a mosque or a temple proclaiming my views neither do I insult the monarchy which means so much to so many.
The English who live in Cyprus , as well as the other nationals who made Cyprus their home have as much right to voice their criticism as the natives have. However a strong dislike of locals is out of order .There are many issues affecting peoples daily lives and such issues need to be addressed , not least the unacceptable and uncivilized treatment by some people , of animals , as well as the atrocious crimes committed daily on our roads by inconsiderate selfish arrogant mostly young drivers , and while I'm at it its about time that the government intensifies its campaign against smoking by pushing for more bans on smoking in public places , restaurants , pubs , etc.
I think the new national anthem , when we eventualy have one , should reflect on the passion of Cypriots for smoking and fast dangerous driving , something like " Its the smoke in your eyes , that makes me drive ,
the way I do , refrain ......

Why do Cypriots who dislike the British need to come to an ENGLISH language forum to do the moaning?

Why do they get so defensive about any criticism of Cyprus?

Why can they only reply to a criticism with one of their own (relevant or not) or say "if you don't like it leave"?

Aren't there any Greek language forums they can do the whining on?

BICKER, why do the BRITISH get so defensive about any criticism of BRITAIN & THE BRITISH ?
It was BRITAIN that caused most of the trouble in cyprus with there divide & rule tactics & there support for the TURKISH invasion & occupation of cyprus.
And the BRITISH still occupy cypriot land with there free military bases.

The United Kingdom is responsible for every bad thing that has ever happened in Cyprus and for that matter the world. The Queen and her family are the head of this dastardly empire. That's right Lysi when you got up this morning and stubbed your toe the Queen laughed. When you tripped and fell on a broken paving slab it was televised in the UK. There is a large ongoing British plot changing the prices in your local supermarket mua ha ha ! They are watching you everywhere recording your every move. As we speak the Queen is throwing darts into a map of Cyprus. Come on Lysi don't hold all this bitterness and hatred in yourself its just not healthy. The stress will finish you off unless of course your happy living with your peers from the plankton family what an amoeba !

Don't you think that
Cyprus would still be a land of farmers, if it weren't for the English or other people that come to the Island. How many famlies do we support with our spending the in the restaurants and shops. Also the investment into the country buying property and paying the relevent taxes. A lot of the Cypriots driving around in BMW etc would still be on their donkeys if it were not for our investment, no affense intended, just being honest. At the end of the day, it does not cost money to be polite, when dealing with people, customers, when it comes to a problem. I have found that the Cyprus people are fine while you are spending your money and lining their pockets. If you are not, they can be very rude, and treat you like something on the bottom of their shoes. Not everyone is like this......by any means. I have seen cases where English people can be just as bad. But please remember, we are in Europe now which means we are all the same! This means also that their are certain rights that everyone has and certain standards that everyone has to live to, in harmany hopefully....don't kill the golden goose as it were......

some people just can't stop firing bullshit.

On the roads, it is mostly Cypriots being killed every week in an accident. I'm not happy to stand by and do nothing while that goes on, and if speaking my mind about the problem will help even just a tiny bit, I will do so.

The police stopped and charged 479 people in 3 DAYS - 3 DAYS. That's without even trying. It's a national disgrace that kids die on the road at the rate they do.

It drives me mad when I see children driving mopeds and doing wheelies on main roads. Most don't even wear a helmet. It's very dangerous! It's for their own good though, that I say this.

It's very easy to blame the parents or the police... but if they act so carelessly, it's their own fault when something bad happens.

And rude and agressive and militant and anti British need I go on?????? I know I'm stating the obvious here but someone should say it.

[unique_earthling]

i think we have all said it at various times, but i believe Lysi is not banned because she makes good copy so to speak, her rubbish at least makes people bite and cause a reaction, but personally i found the rhetoric boring and psychologically disturbing. i think her time should be up and her bigoted arguements put to rest...

[miltiades]

Chedda , you cant be serious. Lysi an amoeba !!!
