This popped up and made interesting reading...

Nothing controversial about that, apart from some inaccuracies.  Yes, any Western base on "foreign soil" will mean risk for the country that base is in during conflict, but that works both ways, although in this case, the UK Cypriot bases are actually British soil*


*until such times as the wet dream of a PM we have decide to return the bases to Cyprus, and rent them back for £100b a year...

There's that of course

It popped up on my Google feed. I hadn't really considered how modern Cyprus came about, so found it an insight into the island rather than being a point of controversy

And it's nice to see different takes on things from a non UK perspective sometimes...
