there goes another paradise

so with the announcement that Fidel Castro is going to retire lots of people are getting excited about the whole thing. The US say that they want to bring democracy to Cuba, when they can't even provide true democracy to their own country I find this hard to believe. If they take their own ideas of democracy to Cuba this will probably mean that some of those beautiful jungles I crossed will become development sites for holiday homes, starbuck and macdonalds as long as they are able to line the pockets of the people making the legislation. While I am on the matter the BBC reporting is getting more and more inaccurate, sensationalizing everything presumably to maintain the interest of 90% of the population that are more interested in which slapper of a celebrity has fallen out of what club wearing what dress!!! for a start the BBC said that the inhabitants of Cuba lived in poverty with barely enough money to live and they all hate Castro. I didn't see much evidence of this really, I mean yes I did see that the general population didn't have a great deal of money due to trade embargo thanks to the US, but in a communist state you shouldn't even need money. Everyone I spoke to liked Fidel except for the richer people of Havana who had property seized by the government, but again the majority of them were on the payroll of the mafia as far as I could make out. There was also another report that said suicides in Wales may be due to kids using chat rooms like beebo and facebook, I am sorry but neither of these are chat rooms and I have completely lost my faith in the reporting from the BBC. In other news they have said that Porsche (girls car makers) are going to contest the fact that drivers of more polluting cars will have to pay a £25 congestion charge in the courts. Heres a thought Porsche why don't you try and make your cars more efficient!! Also if you can afford to run a car like the chayenne monstrosity then a £25 fee wouldn't even be noticed. Maybe they are being clever in launching this action so that they get back more than enough in free publicity to boost their falling sales to warrant them squandering money on an ill conceived legal action.
