You have to hand it to the BBC, they never shirk from expressing their admiration for tyrants and their hanger-ons. Listen to this item, on the mistress of Simon Bolivar. Note how Huge Chavez is given an approving name-check and of course Bolivar himself is presented as a lovable rogue. Two tyrants in five minutes, stamp-marked with the tacit approval of the State Broadcaster.
THE WORLD LOVES A TYRANT..

Too true.
The BBC finally finds a Chav it adores.
It should be “the leftist world” though.
There isn’t a murdering commie bastard leftists don’t have orgasms over.
Especially lefty white bread middle-class BBC women who wet their knickers over a bit of working class rough.
I noticed the presenter laughing out loud and asking the author back when he came put with the line:
You are boring just like your country (England)
and then goes to highlight ‘England’ by taking wales out of the equation.
Is there a requirement when you join the bBC to hate Whites/England etc..

David, I think you need to check the historical record before you brand Simon Bolivar a “tyrant”. Yes, he was tough, but then he needed to be: Spain wasn’t about to let go of its S American colonies easily – it needed the slave labour – and then as now there were all sorts of groups squabbling for power in Spain’s place. But Bolivar believed in representative government and admired the US Constitution. He also carried a copy of Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations with him wherever he went, convinced that free and mutual trade with Spain (and of course the US) would be the economic salvation of the S American countries he liberated.
That a true tyrant like Chavaz should highjack and distort the memory of Bolivar is despicable and the BBC’s portrayal of him as somehow being Bolivar’s torch-bearer is equally detestable. If Bolivar were alive today, Chavez and his corrupt cronies would be exactly the type of tyrants he would topple, a fact not lost on King Juan Carlos, himself an admirer of Bolivar, when he told Chavez “Why don’t you just shut up?”
Morpork,
That is a fair point. Chavez hijacking Bolivar is disgraceful.
