The first thing I notice is how ordinary those in the Irish pic are … no purple hair or foreign flags, no weirdos.
The second thing concerns both pics … what is your policy, personally, mine too, when it comes to self-determination? In short, what if there are complications? Are you English or British? Scottish, Irish?
Without going too far down the rabbit hole, Kiev is not straightforward, neither are the Catalans. Methinks it’s easier to know what is NOT on than to define what IS on. It’s far easier to support the Irish against the invader, the British Isles against the unelected communists running Europe.
Cyprus. My only knowledge was UK press and BBC.
ReplyDeleteBut at the time it appeared that Greek Cypriots and Greece were conspiring to conjoin both countries as part of a greater Greece. Policy known as Enosis. In support of this terrorists/freedom fighters were killing British personel.
The snag was that a large minority were of Turkish inclination.
It was feared that Greece would invade and take over the whole island. So Turkey stepped in. Maybe they saw what had happened in Palestine.
For wartime reasons Turkey and Britain were not great chums.
There must be another side to the story.
