Front Page
‘I’m Serving My Sentence Here’ – says Turkish Cypriot criminal charged with a crime in the UK. He fled to north Cyprus and stated that because he can no longer leave the north, it was like being in a prison.
‘Sponsor Needed to Achieve Goal’ – if a sponsor can be found to finance the event some ex-players from Arsenal and Liverpool might stage a ‘Liverpool’ Legends match here, and become involved in training. This could include Robbie Fowler. Editor: equally, nothing could happen so why is this front page of a 4TL ‘newspaper’?

Lawyers Call for Lending Regulations – again
TRNC is ‘Tax and Banking Safe Haven’ – say bankers expecting money to pour across from the south. Editor: if depositors are able to withdraw it.

‘Tree Regulations Hit By Poor Regulation – 4500 trees were planted and they’ve been eaten by goats and sheep because no one stopped them
Opinion: EU Mob Sanction Robbery of Cyprus – Editor: the argument goes something like this, I asked to borrow €16bn to pay back depositors whose money I’d loaned out and couldn’t get back but you would only offer to lend me €10bn if I could find the other €6bn. So I accuse the lender of robbing the people whose money I lost.
Letter: Check Your Policy Cover – someone finds out that, just like in the UK, his walls and garden landscaping are not included in his insurance policy.
