HAVING failed spectacularly to use the EU to bring the barbaric Turks to their knees and their promises of a European solution and having also been exposed as an unfunny joke, the radio-show hawks have wiped the egg from their faces and immediately found new patriotic themes for their defiant rhetoric – the National Guard and the Turkish settlers.

Sir,
I do not think, as Patroclos claims (September 25) that I can be both an “archetypal, pompous old Brit” and “a crude cretin”. Surely one would tend to rule out the other? At the same time it is rather gratifying to see that Eupro has clearly got up his nose. I shall look forward to it continuing to do so.

Sir,
In response to Kleanthes Grohmann’s letter (Sunday Mail, September 25) complaining about CyTA deposits for foreigners, I have just received a letter from the Ombudswoman’s office regarding my complaint on this very matter. Although I am not completely satisfied with the result, I feel there will now be an improvement in the terms and conditions.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
