Give them blank cheques
Reader comment on item: Kastelorizo - Mediterranean Flashpoint?
in response to reader comment: EU Turkish Arranged Marriage Plans
Submitted by Mozere (United Kingdom), Feb 27, 2012 at 00:39
If the EU is willing to admit such economical basket cases with stunted public institutions as Greece,Bulgaria and Romania then the citizens of the UK,France and Germany should jolly well stop moaning and give these nations blank cheques so they can live the lives of Rileys.
Let the Balkan Mafia rule. Do not worry, majority of Turks do not want to be in the EU, we value our independence.
