Funny thing is, he has nothing bad to say about true liabilities like Boris, Farage, the Spelling Mistake and May - all incompetents, liars and in two of the above, outright racists.

Bizarre.
That’s because he doesn’t know what to say. He can’t string a sentence unless it’s written down for him by his advisors, his use of spoken English is terrible for man of his position. So his advisors tell him shut up, be quiet, say nothing and hopefully the tories will implode and you’ll be PM.

Trouble is dis the people have worked this one out now, and hence the backlash he’s seeing against his party in the polls. Among other things of course.

I actually think he believes what he says, that he has principles if you agree with them or not is another matter, but surely he should be himself, be true to what he believes in and says it how it is. Then more people may connect with him, of course the opposite could also happen as they won’t like what he says.
He doesn’t say enough - that is the problem.

It's not a case of supporting a particular government or not. It's diplomacy. Evidently the UK are allies with Saudi Arabia and we make a big fuss when the Chinese President made a state visit to the UK. I would say that both of these dictatorships are far worse than the government of Venezuela. Also we don't really know what is going on in these countries, only what the Media tell us and they are hardly independent, they all have their own axes to grind.

In fact, I'm not sure how we can get really independent news about what is actually going on in other countries. Look at the reporting about Trump. I mean I hate the bloke, but the Media are so anti, it's best not to read any of it.

One should look at the government in Honduras. Extreme right wing, put in after a coup supported by USA, and doing bad things. Because it's a right wing government, our mainstream media don't report much

So if it’s not reported much by mainstream media how do you know they are doing bad things?

I’m was going to ask coyos to show us something to support what he says. If it is going on then it must be deplored, but I’ve not read or seen anything in the mainstream media.

Would you please show us something so we can be educated? Thanks.

It is reported, just well away from the front pages.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/ ... -president

Not sure how that excuses what us going on in Venezuela though.

Anyway Doh Nut, any luck in finding some evidence of Corbyn supporting Maduro?

Thank you to MM and coyos. Not nice what’s going on there, supported by the worlds biggest and strongest country economically and militarily.

Where’s there money there will be fraud, where there profit to be made the yanks will want a big slice of it. Where’s there’s oil, we know they start wars over it.

Troubling times.
