I'm sure Dave will be amenable to leasing them to any interested party to help pay his, Clegg and Osborne families' windmill subsidies reduce the deficit.  >:( >:( >:( >:(

Nick will probably want to sell them, as he'll regard them as an embarrassing remnant of Britain's imperialist past....  ::)

I think the cypriots are just posturing waiting to get better terms for the bailout. Brussels are not going to let them default, leave the Euro and cause a deeper crisis.

Yes you're probably right and the EU won't want Russia having any sort of 'stake' or collateral in EU territory.  ::)

They've (EU) badly misjudged the whole thing.  :o

Actually thinking about it we (The UK) are missing a trick here.  ::)

We already have infrastructure and facilities in Cyprus at the two sovereign bases.  We also have a huge overseas aid budget.  We should steal a march on the Russians, use that aid money to help Cyprus out financially and at the same time secure vital gas resources for Britain.  :y

It would provide jobs for Brits and Cypriots, helping both economies and the EU would be happy as it keeps all the eggs in the basket! (so to speak)  ;) 

Get BP in there!!!  8)

My sister lives in Nicosia. She's married to an accountant. Not sure if that helps or not at the moment. :-\
