We recently gave them nearly £2Bn to help join the EU.

Can we have our money back?

2 minutes readiness for all combat wings in Greece, 175 f16's and 45 M2000-5 on red alert.

Reports of helicopter gunships bombing the ministry of defense in Ankara. Also the military is arresting police officers, its gets bad...

They say the military is divided, the higher ranking officers are kemalists and the junior officers islamists. Turks must stay calm or else they could be heading for a civil war..

Why exactly?

Don't the reasons for providing that money still stand?

I also doubt we've paid much of that yet.

I think the US will come out with harsh words.

Dunno I think the US might completely act like nothing has happened outwardly.

172 Labour MP's right now are currently engaged in a "Watch and Learn" exercise.

One worrying thing is what will IS be doing to take advantage of this?

Contacting a Turkish friend she tells me that phones and social media have been shut down across the country.

She lives in Nottingham

Hope she makes it through OK

LOL

Seriously though Mr Jack, trying to imply that you're in touch with someone in Turkey who later turns out to be living in Nottingham, is weak.

I remember seeing the documentary with Obama about the time when Egypt had a coup. Mubarak was a dictator though, so this is different.

Was very interesting. Hopefully we get a similar documentary with Turkey.

He said they are Turkish, not in Turkey. Makes sense that someone from there would have contacts and details about what's going on.
