1. It’s getting worse and worse here, last year Erdogan lost probably his biggest election of his career, he’d had minor upsets and so on previously, but the last municipal elections were a huge blow to him and his mystique of invincibility.

   When people protest, they get the full force of the police against them and many people are arrested just for protesting, while extremists can carry out pro sharia protests and threaten cartoonists while under police protection in the same areas where anti government protests aren’t allowed.

   I suspect the head of the main opposition party is next and I do not know what follows.

   It’s been very bleak and paralysing, all while the economy gets worse and worse.
