Default 'Screw the Market! Socialism to the Rescue' says London's Major
He's not called Red Ken for nothing. And he's promoted the image of crazier people before.

My thought is that if Chavez wants to give away oil (or rather sell it at below-market rates), um, ok, good for London. Were I Venezuelan, I might not be amused, but I'm not so :shrug:

The market in action Righto. How is this different than say buying goods from China?

If Chavez wants to exploit his own people so be it.

By all means, OB. It sounds like the Brits are getting a great deal. Huzzah!

Not so sure about Venezuelans, but of course since this is a policy of The Man of The People, it's gotta be good for the people, eh?
