The UK example

Sir,

I would like to reply to the letter sent by Michael Paraskos ‘Division would be a disaster’, I agree division would be a disaster for our beautiful island but to bring Scotland and England into the equation, I must laugh. For 300 years, we Scots had to suffer under the dominating English, we had to put up with Dragon Thatcher putting an unfair tax upon us Scots; now the shoe is on the other foot. Maybe more people should stand up to the English and tell them to poke their nose out where it is not wanted.

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.
