Totally off topic for which I apologise, but John F's comment "All we need is RTE's son in law or one of his sons to get the jail, then the sh1t will really hit the fan" is a real piece of "Scottish speak" and made me chuckle.

That said, totally agree with him.

Have the AKP announced the formation of the Erdogan Youth and the League of Moslem Girls yet? I hear the uniforms are OK but the shorts for the boys are a bit long and brown is a drab colour? Have they invaded anywhere yet? Only a matter of time I am sure!

I have cleared out the wardrobes last weekend and have a load of shoe boxes, is there a central collection point or do you just call the AKP office to have them collected??

Top of the league.

It has been confirmed that Turkey has the number one spot of most journalists locked up in prison, ahead of China, Russia and Iran.  They are probably number one in the league for locked up Police Chiefs as well, replacing Eygpt and before them Libya. Well done RTE. :o

According to Hurriyet Daily News, "The European Commission urged the Turkish government to ensure ethical principles are maintained in judicial proceedings in the largest bribery probe that any government in the country’s history has ever faced".

That may not be easy!

I've tried to put a link but it didn't work.
On the top of the Daily Zaman  there is an item regarding charging four top
Ministers and lifting their immunity.One is Foreign Minister Bagis. The charges
are all listed along with some pictures and it's staggering reading. Bribes
running into multi millions.
Can someone try and post the link.
