The UK is not as bad as Venezuela

May was punished for being sensible. Corbyn is being praised for being reckless.

Crazy world init.


What? Overreaching is sensible, over confidence is sensible?
Funny how for the referendum you called will of the people democracy, for mays humiliation you call it punished for being sensible

They will have to draw their horns in when we leave or find another money tree.

I think perhaps you have been reading right-wing press, Britain's net contribution is far less than farage and Johnson claimed, you were lied to and never bothered checking.
And don't forget the rebate maggy got.

Remember that 350 million a week promised to the nhs? Ha, ha, ha, whos a gullible chappie then?

And you really think the loss of Britain's contribution will make much difference, remember, there won't be a britain to spend it on

It was to
Who me? A dear boy? You're so sweet! :p
You're poor? Well then, next election you could vote Labour?
And who has the money to buy land? Your suggestion is a bit like telling those without bread to eat cake........ that kind of talk really did start a melt down, but they was frog-leg eaters.

You weren't meant to take that seriously but seriously I wouldn't vote labour anytime soon.

Been through that before and you couldn't justify the claim then, i very much doubt you can justify it now.

Fyi, many of those poor areas (like wales for example) have benefitted from EU initiative's. In fact wales has had a net benefit of £79 per person out of the EU

Wow that's a fortune.

I've done my research, i just got sick of you making incredulous claims with no evidence

I also note the link quotes failing hospitals, violence, anti government arrests, humanitarian crisis, assault against human rights defence.

Read your local independent news paper recently?

It should do.
I don't think that your links or reports on the situation are balanced.
I don't think that the Brit politicians who are manipulating this story to embarrass Mr Corbyn are without agenda.
Not trusting your explanations about all this, I googled any BBC reports about the issues there, and a difference picture emerged entirely.

It would appear that a sad turn in the finances of the country have caused insecurities which outside influences have sought to use, to destabilise the Left-Wing Government. And some of this interference comes from Right Wing foreign governments.

I haven't got any agenda about this, but have you?
...... just askin'

Venezuela is split into Chavistas, the name given to the followers of the socialist policies of the late President Hugo Chavez, and those who cannot wait to see an end to the 18 years in power of his United Socialist Party (PSUV).
After the socialist leader died in 2013, Nicolas Maduro, also of the PSUV, was elected president on a promise to continue Mr Chavez's policies.
Chavistas praise the two men for using Venezuela's oil riches to markedly reduce inequality and for lifting many Venezuelans out of poverty.
But the opposition says that since the PSUV came to power in 1999, the socialist party has eroded Venezuela's democratic institutions and mismanaged its economy.
Chavistas in turn accuse the opposition of being elitist and of exploiting poor Venezuelans to increase their own riches.

They also allege that opposition leaders are in the pay of the United States, a country with which Venezuela has had fraught relations in recent years.



Ah ha....... :shrug:

Fair enough. :)
If Venezuela's economic situation would have remained stable then all would have been well, it seems. The economic crisis has caused the problems and it seems that interfering countries have fueled the fires of discontent.

The BBC reported that the US would like to cause trouble for the Venezuelan Left-Wing Government. And in the middle of the crisis Right-Wing mags and various unfriendly politicians have jumped at the chance to throw much at a politician who has always supported Maduro's support for the poor of the country, a leader now faced with many angry people who have lost out.

In other words the criticism of Mr Corbyn is not reliable at all. I wonder how often countries try to bring down other country's governments at the first opportunity? Have you ever heard of anything like that? :p

Here's a Beeb report........ the right-wing mag reports can go straight in the rubbish bin. Honestly.... :

The OP appears to be totally biased.

The OP is concerned about his country and does not want it to end up like Venezuela.

From your favourites, the BBC.


If you still think socialism is working comrades. VOTE CORBYN



EDIT:
Since you like the BBC so much, look at this.


How can Corbyn continue to support this state terrorism?

You have chosen film of a demonstration needing to be controlled by Police, and then magnified it into 'Maduro putting down his people'.

On a forum we can shove to and fro' about such issues, but if any media deliberately portrayed such scenes to make Maduro look like a wicked tyrant it would simply be 'Dirty Political Propaganda'.

I remember scenes just like those you posted in the UK, when our miners were layed off and cheap Columbian coal 'Mined by children' was being imported. And the Police didn't just use body armour, but rode into the demonstrators on horseback to break them up.

Either you don't remember that or won't remember that. That was a Right-Wing leader who ordered such action, and the Police were instructed 'not to stay their hands'.

Your thread seems to be a heavily prejudiced attack on a Minister who you are beginning to get frightened about. You're actually helping Mr Corbyn with all this. :shrug:

Therefore, you have gone off the BBC now then.

Are there any reporters that you do like or do they all have to be blinkered because Jeremy is never wrong?

What a great contribution to the thread duh.

Thank you. It is my humble critical evaluation of the situation.:)

With rising tensions between Russia and NATO , this can become a reality anytime.

Venezuela has no such threats to it.

Britain has more hawks than doves, and it is bound to pay the price now or later, unless they grow wiser.

Like I said we've lived with the threat for many years but bombing us would be crazy because it not going to be one way traffic.

I call this a threat - Zoo animals are being stolen and eaten in Venezuela

As SilentMajority says – “Corbyn will be the first to start eating zoo animals when his marxist plans fail.”

Here is an interesting article as well....


U.K arming human rights abusers as in Saudi Arabia and Venezuela

An excerpt from the article...

If there is one area that exemplifies and embodies the startling hypocrisy and doublespeak of UK foreign policy, then it’s the Government’s record on arms exports.
Recent weeks have seen a lot of tough and uncompromising talk from government ministers about the increasing scale of repression and human rights abuses taking place in Venezuela. Boris Johnson has said that the country is “turning on itself” and that “democracy and basic rights are in jeopardy”.

Over 3 million people, a quarter of a billion pounds extra each year is quite a lot of money. Money that May and co would not dig into their offshore bank balances for.

More to the point, it is more than paid out so your argument fall flat on its face.

Also note : wales is quoted as beingn one of the 10 poorest areas in northern europe. With out those payments it would be even worse
