A friend in Pattaya sent me the following photo and YouTube video link, which I thought were worth sharing:

It's pretty damn difficult to trust the Guardian .

Perhaps you trust the Telegraph more and their report from two weeks ago on the report from 2016 that revealed the "gaping holes in Britain’s Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response (EPRR) plan." The report arising from that plan was never published, and doesn't seem to have been even acted upon.

That's the same left wing media have spent years avoiding any positive discussion about the merits of more private sector involvement and consumer choice, as they have in Germany. They expect the government to Germany's results with the same health care structure as in Cuba.

If you are equating Cuba's national health service with necessarily poor delivery of healthcare you are wrong, as I found when being treated there.

But don't just take my word for it, have a look at the WHO's ratings. Cuba is rated 36th of 191 in the world. Not far behind Germany in 22, despite their very differing levels of national wealth.

Cuba has a history of supplying medical aid to developing countries across the world as well as maintaining high standards at home, despite the efforts of successive US governments.

Socialism is going to be the next trend with or without the Orange Man. He'll be reduced to being a mere crazy scarecrow.

Perhaps. I presume a lot of the voters are too young to remember how bad socialism was in the old "Communist bloc" and too idle to check how it was, or how it currently is in Cuba, Venezuela & North Korea.

Even some of the countries run by "Communist" dictatorships have seen the light and introduced capitalism.

Cuba and Venezuela? what did they do wrong? apart from free health care, free education and extensive success in fighting poverty. And, I nearly forgot; stopping the US Mafia (official and unofficial) making money out of their resources. The ultimate crime..... they even managed to defeat US invasions and coups.

"Cuba and Venezuela? what did they do wrong?"

Where to begin?

Socialism during the John Logie Baird era was held to ransom by the ruling propaganda. Now the media in the internet age is at the mercy of those with special talents and skills who are starting to expose the wicked ways of oligarchs and the ruling class. This is the equaliser that will benefit 99% of the world's population.
