Well that's the aspiration.

It's the way JC wants to go.

Very odd he would laud such a country given the state it is in. Still I suppose when the UK went down the pan no one could accuse him of trying to hide what would happen!

I suppose at least if we did turn into Venezuela we'd all be too doped up on cocaine to mind :/

Corbyn at a rally for President Nicolas Modura 2 years ago, yes just 2 years ago, said "It is a cause for celebration-the achievements of Venezuela, in jobs, in housing, in health, in education, but it above all its role in the world as a completely different place" You can say that again, no jobs, no schools, no houses and no drugs to treat the most basic of illnesses in the Hospitals. Empty shelves in the shops and queues for food and toilet paper, with troops on the streets in armoured cars firing tear gas at protesting citizens. A veritable left wing Utopia indeed, no doubt the template of his vision for Britain

sitting on a sea of oil, only socialism can generate hunger and poverty in such a place. I can't fathom why people want that for us. How does Jezza get any seats if this is what he aspires to?

I did pen a littl ditty a week or two ago but can't find it now.

It went something like this:

Venezuela Venezuela O happy happy land.
Venezuela Venezuela a socialists dream
Venezuela Venezuela With your 2,500% interest
Venezuela Venezuela land of hunger and deprivation
OOohhhhh VENEZUELA VENEZUELA with your oil and resources come show us how it's done

Be careful what you wish for ...

[cassa333]

Not me wishing for it Naomi. But there are some that seem to think it a great model of nationhood.

[naomi24]

sorry, cassa, mine was a general comment. Not aimed at you.

[fender62]

socialism does not work on a grandscale all sounds nice, workers state err not for me, why excel when you neighbor makes the same as you
scientist doctor makes the same wage as bin man, why improve yourself..no impetus

[cassa333]

Lol Naomi.

I think I would rather shoot myself than live in a socialist utopia.

But then again I remember that even if the socialists got in they would be out double quick when they ballsed up the country. A bit like the system we have now really lol

[naomi24]

Cassa, //a socialist utopia//

An oxymoron if ever there was one! ;o)
