We could learn from them

We could learn from them VENEZUELA president Hugo Chavez has not long died and the Americans at the White House are itching to get into Venezuela to see what happens to the South American country.

Venezuela and Cuba have very strong ties. Venezuela sells its oil to Cuba at a cheap rate: in return, top medical people from Cuba are sent to Venezuela to look after the people. In the past, I have been to both Venezuela and Cuba and find the people of both countries in high spirits, in health matters, too. By the way: you won’t see high immigration or food banks in both these countries. We could learn a lesson.

We could e.g. twin Wales with Saudi Arabia, that is the oil sorted..... then Cardiff with Moscow, then the gas is...

For all his faults, Hugo Chavez managed to use and distribute the benefits of his country's natural resources for the benifit of the people of Venezuela and the beneficial links and exchanges with Cuba helped both countries.
Chavez refused to be another puppet to the western world and the international parasites who control world energy prices.
Having had the pleasure of visiting Venezuela. it was an enlightening experience to hear people holding their leader in high regard. Something that very few people here would say about those who run our country.
Viva Chavez

Not sure they'd be impressed with our medics in exchange though. Unless they need people killing that is.

Mervyn, what a good idea.
The Royal Family could then replace our democracy, our women could be confined to the house and make our roads safer by banning them from driving, we could import nearly all our manual workers and servants from poorer countries and ship them back when they are worn out after 30 years of hard work.
Our land could be turned into racehorse paddocks and Chestow and Ffos Las would replace Newmarket and the like.
We could throw out any green economy plans as we would get our fuel at cost price and evade government tax.
Yep Merve, it's a great idea..

I thought the Tories had replaced democracy already ? We are already greener because we buy all our stuff from China and India sweat shops, and we get to blame them for pollution as well, we got it made. I don't like the 30yr rule, I'd prefer 30 months rule, this keeps them on the back foot and they don't get to swamp us all. No-one comes here unless another migrant leaves, then we get a Limited turnover of workers without messing the UK about. I a too old to master Romanian or Bulgarian now... I only just learnt how to tell Polish the way to Warsaw recently.
