Venezuela now

We have nothing comparable here to complain about. Brexit? Politicians? The BBC? Unruly children? Mothers-in-law? Ungrateful families? Peanuts!

A very sad personal account of a once vibrant country slowly destroying itself.

Venezuela is in a terrible state and funny there is no condemnation of the political system communist/socialist.!

I have always been puzzled over the years as to the 'fawning' the adoration/admiration for the likes of Hugo Chavez, Nicolas Moduro and Fidel Castro when it is blatantly obvious they are a nothing but a bunch of self serving crooks who think nothing of suppressing their own people.

The ' left ' have 'fallen silent' over the fact they have hailed the politics of Venezuela but I have not heard nor read one word of condemnation or support for the starving people of Venezuela . I am not surprised by that though!

Aljazeera TV has for a while given a fair bit of coverage to the ongoing problems in Venezuela , unlike our poor news coverage. The people are literally starving , no medicine and it has been going on for ages.
