The UK’s problem with Venezuela’s Chavez Frias is that he’s over there!

Subject: The UK needs a Hugo Chavez

Here in the UK we used to have a problem with Americans. What was the problem? "They’re over here!"

Here in the UK we have a problem with Chavez. What is the problem? "He’s over there!"

(And we still have a problem with Americans being over here corps-wise, if not in person, but more on that anon)

We need a Hugo Chavez ... desperately. Now. Like yesterday would not be too early. The country in which I live is going backwards.

While Hugo Chavez is putting resources into educating his people (while) "our" Tony Blair is giving our resources away to the EU while standards of literacy have fallen to an all-time low.

Young adults are entering university with standards of literacy which a few years ago would not have been tolerated in eleven-year-olds.

I am told: "Punctuation, grammar and spelling are not really important so long as folks know what you are saying."

********! Read the following two sentences and tell me punctuation does not matter:

A woman, without her man, is useless.

A woman, without her, man is useless.

Hugo Chavez fully understands that the first step to enabling his people is literacy. How is one able to learn unless one is able to read the textbooks?

Having learned, how is one able to teach unless one can write what is necessary so that others may learn?

Here in the UK, it was once government policy to not permit folks to learn to read or write and those who were permitted to do so were only allowed to read religious texts, for the head monkeys of the day knew that as soon as literacy became widespread, then so would knowledge and understanding.

Today, it is doing similarly, not by limiting access to the written word but by allowing literacy standards to deteriorate to such an extent that many folks are unable to express themselves legibly or are unable to understand those who do.

Naturally the elite, which send its offspring to expensive private schools, ensures the continuation of its own exalted position which is what has been happening in Venezuela.

No wonder the Venezuelan elite think of Hugo Chavez as its enemy!

The peoples’ friend will always be the elite’s enemy, for with an educated, informed and aware population the elite’s position is weakened.

People of Venezuela ... I envy you your leader!

And I, wholeheartedly, agree with Raymond F. Breakspear. Yanks, go home, build your damn fence round your country, stay inside it, and leave the rest of the world in peace. You are one totally fucked-up nation. And take Bliar, and his stinking government, with you.
