Has she come home? Is she actually crying about it? She hasnt turned in her passport, has she? Did she call herself anything other than British? If she did what did she call herself? She is British, she lives in Cyprus, she was asked for a quote by a newspaper and gave one, is all the information I can garner from that piece. Got any links or proof for any of your assertions? Or were you just assuming? Mr Fordsworthe's original quotation springs to mind. TTCHCOTP |

This is the last resort tactic of a Bankrupt Capitalist banking elite. They are using Cyprus as a test case to see how quickly people accept this or what level of public disorder it causes. There comes a point when direct and indirect taxation does not bring in enough money and the only way to balance the books is take money directly out of people's savings accounts. And this is across the board so everyone who has money in these types if accounts will suffer. But truly rich people won't suffer as their money is safely invested elsewhere.
This is theft on a grand scale and I hope ALL the people who stand to lose money over this cause massive public protests. I hope also that the majority of people with money saved in Cyprus collectively threaten to withdraw their assets which could cause a financial tidal wave in Cyprus and probably bankrupt the whole island. This needs to happen because if Cypriots accept this then Greece, Spain and Portugal are next, this is the thin edge of the wedge and it could precipitate a financial collapse like the world has never seen, making the crash of 2008 look like a small financial irregularity...!!! |

The FSA here only guarantee the first £85'000 of anyones accounts so if our banks go under this will happen here.

Is this just the Southern Greek Cyprus we're talking about? It's quite annoying that news outlets only say "Cyprus", when there's two completely different sides of the island (Turkish and Greek)

This is pretty unbelievable really bankers are still getting huge bonuses, yet it is people who are prudent and have put away money for their retirement or just a rainy day who are being penalised, this money has already been taxed at source and then taxed again as a saver and to dip into savings without permission is unforgivable.

Before this went Public Russian banks took out Millions (they had top secret info) As a result Germany is saying Cyprus Banks may need to take 15% out of all accounts over 100K. And what is going wrong even more is the Power has to pass this in their Parliament but other members may block it. Whick means No EU billions Loan and a Bankrupt nation. Ref: SkyNewsHD, Ch4News, CNN Business, BBC News. |

Yes Bad news they blocked the Leader
so Tomorrow is his last roll of the Dice. The RAF Plane has loads Armed officers as the locals could do with that. Cash Machines are being topped up but how long can they keep topping it up with Cash? On Ch4News Live in 10minutes the machine was empty thats how fast the public take it out. The Germany Embassy has been attacked. Last edited by arista; 19-03-2013 at 06:09 PM. |

Yes but Tomorrow The PM bangs heads together. Germany will not back down as Cyrprus failed to much. Run on the bank - They may Not open on Thursday , now. So its the Cash machines but they run out in 10 or 20mins as the public does not trust anyone. This is far worse trouble that Ireland had Ref: Ch4News , SkyNewsHD and Bloomberg |

Now Russia is trying to a Deal with Cyprus
which could mean the UK troops to leave Cyprus. Russia wants a share of the Gas in the near Sea that Cyprus owns. Germany is not happy with this deal. Ref : Tim Marshall , Foreign Affairs (SkyNewsHD) Last edited by arista; 21-03-2013 at 02:12 PM. |
