Paul Peros @paulperos.bsky.social · 19/06/2025@christofi.bsky.social I’ve just finished Cypria, and wanted to say it was exceptional. I’m half Cypriot but grew up in the UK and haven’t much Greek, so i’ve always felt Cyprus is a story i can only half understand. Your book has given me my own Cyprus and i’m so grateful to you for writing it. 131

Paul Peros @paulperos.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Well, here we go again. We made it to 2021, I’m sure we can make it to 2029. And with a bit of luck the incompetence of the Trump-Vance government will see us clear a path for the return of proper government by then. 000

Paul Peros @paulperos.bsky.social · 29/11/2024Predictable. But Farage probably underestimates how secular UK society is by comparison with the US, where a reflexive falling back on perceived Christian evangelical doctrine is more the norm. He’ll get much less traction here. 000
