A VAST amount of time, I predict.

There is a eu referendum thread floating about somewhere

Let's hope not. Can someone explain to me what the Turkish pm has done to piss the army off?

Dodgy deals with Daesh against his army's wishes I'd hazard to guess?

I read that today. I thought I couldn't admire the man any more then I saw the clip of him referring to lefties as wearing corduroy. I am sure a deal has been done with lady May and he will still be pm one day.

Not a chance. Boris has too many enemies to be PM and the new PM is hanging him out to dry.

Fly through Ataturk airport in October to Thailand, hope this isn't still crazy by then.

Sad to see such a beautiful place like Istanbul in this state.

She's sending him to Ankara to broker a peace deal.....

At least it sounds like a secular dispute and not a religious nut job dispute. Still a bit destabilizing though.

Generally behaving increasingly like a dictator rather than a democratically elected leader, clamping down on a critical press and arresting opponents. The Turkish military won't tolerate the possibility of a government - elected or otherwise - undermining the secular constitution.

Can't see them in the eu in the short term!

Thanks mate.

The Turksh military have always seen themselves as guardians of a secular government and see it as their job to act if they see a government becoming too islamic .As well as his clamping down on opposition.
