Re: Adios

Nice to see Galloway showing his true colours again by slithering up the rectum of another human rights oppressing dictator. But he's socialist as well, so that's OK then.

One of my family's employees in Florida escaped from Cuba with his parents who had execution warrants on their heads for doing what our members on this forum do every day. I can't see him saying Adios or Viva Fidel.

Kudos to Galloway for trying to defend Fidel's reputation anyway, although his main excuse that Fidel has legitimately suspended rights because they are in a perpetual war (despite 40 years of inactivity) with the US is a rather sad and pathetic attempt that doesn't wash. Contradicted when he opposes Labour's anti-terrorism measures for the same reason.

Raul is like Fidel lite. Fidel has still been niggling him when he seems fit so Fidel's influence never has left and probably won't soon. However, aforemention Cuban above said there is a very soft socialist and democratic reform group under the skin that will come into play with Raul when Fidel goes. This will lead to a re-opening a relations between the two countries. This was a couple of years ago he said it though.
