The deal is THIS: have lawyers in both [only-recognised-by-Turkey] Turkish North Cyprus and Greek Cypus ['real' Cyprus] check the deeds exhaustively.

If a property was in the name of TURKS prior to the Turkish invasion, the title is 100% clear [or so you bloody hope]
If it was in Greek or Armenian hands prior to the invasion, back off fast.
These days one can travel to and fro and back again in hours so zero problem THERE! [unlike a few years ago]

Here are tireless campaigners for ROMA RIGHTS [this babe even addressed the UN on the subject]

An interesting ethno-cultural fact: Here in Bulgaria the Armenians occupy the ecological niche occupied in many other places by Jews. Selling gold and jewellery, for example. The tiny Armenian community in Dobrich raised – from its own resources – the dosh to refurbish* the interiour of the Armenian church. By an unhappy choice, they did it in varnished pine so it looks like a Scandinavian youth hostel.

This sorry tale is set a mere 6 km from us …

… in Bulgaria [no names no pack drill] it is alleged that there exists a class of Brit property-con swindlers who learned their trade in Spain

Meanwhile skilled Bulgarian ATM skimmers are all over the world, from California to the Antipodes and everywhere in between with an ATM to be skimmed

… here is a riposte / attack ad

‘Elitist’ is condemnatory and put-down word used by the sort of Teachy-Trainy-College ninnies who hate fact-based learning and like to spout about the wickedness of ‘rote learning’ and capes & bays’ fact memorization.

Here’s a woman who makes the appalling Diane Abbott seem a paragon:

Jimmy, we can be certain that plenty of poor kids from families who counted every penny twice attended Glasgow High; it cannot have been ‘for certain families’ only.

What the eff does the cretinous word ‘elitist’ mean anyway?

Households where kids are obliged to do their homework instead of hanging around on the streets hoping to get into trouble?

Ideally, everyone should get the education best suited to him-her but in the meantime destroying places that provide a good education out of class hatred or spite is utterly effing insane

the above will be of interest to some here.

Closing Glasgow High School on the absurd grounds that it was “for the better-off” is the sort of inanity one would expect of the sort of begrudging chip-on-the-shoulder nincompoops who have done so much to make the Labour Party stink like an unburied animal carcass.

The better question would be “How do you encourage parents of all economic circumstances to establish their own schools; schools that teach the 3 Rs, teach mastery of thorough facts, teach foreign languages well and inculcate decent citizenship?”

In the 70s I did a PGCE at a Teachy Trainy College in Lancaster and was stunned to find that the regular non-graduate Teachy Trainees were ignorant about ‘uninterested’ and ‘disinterested’ and ‘continual’ and ‘continuous’ and wholly perplexed about apostrophes … and – horrors! – these witless dummies were going to become teachers!
