Little bit of Obama-love here from Michael Voss which happily also lavishes attention on Castro’s Cuba. No mention of the gross violations of human rights which passes for everyday life in this Communist hell-hole. But hey, never mind that, let’s dance…
CUBAN HEELS

Why is the BBC and its beeboid crew so in love with such a nasty and cruel and UNELECTED dictatorship I wonder?
Perhaps they holiday there? Perhaps they share the same ideology? Perhaps the beeboid filth wore Che T shirts at uni and fantasized about being a revolutionary?
The one party state they love and adore holds onto power by murder and torture and the AK47, given a free election Castro would be hanging in the main square Mussolini styely within 24 hrs.
Mind you, filth attracts filth does it not?
The fact that Cuba is directly responsible for hundreds of thousands if not millions of deaths in Africa escapes the filth at the BBC.
Toilets Maguire a leftie twat from the Mirror and a favourite of the BBC just spent his holidays in Cuba

This Blog is going on holiday for a couple of weeks. To Cuba. A remarkable country, heroically standing up to Uncle Sam
The BBC is not supposed to condone the establishment of full relations between any two countries. Yet that’s clearly what’s going on here. The Beeboid reporting is clearly supporting this, which is not his job.
While I’m a fervent supporter of the arts (being a musician myself, although not currently for a living), it’s my opinion – based on years of observation – that this kind of cultural exchange does absolutely nothing except strengthen whichever tyrannical government we’re visting, and make the visiting artists feel better about themselves.
I’ve never seen or heard of a real politicial denouement resulting from these cultural exchanges, othert than various Soviet and Cuban artists defecting now and again.
The Beeboid mentioned the New York Philharmonic’s canceled trip to Cuba, but did not mention their excursion to North Korea a few years ago. At the time, I thought it was a bad idea, would do nothing except strengthen L’il Kim’s dictatorship. Of course it turned out as critics predicted: only the elite were allowed to see or hear the concert, and there wasn’t a single exchange of culture with the general population who so desperately need help. The only other benefit was that the Leftoid musicians and journalists who accompanied them all got to feel superior to George Bush for a few days. Is our relationship with North Korea any better because of the cultural exhcange program? I think not. So it’s all a pointless excercise, of no value to anyone except the artists and dictators who invite them.
But the BBC doesn’t have on any opposing voice. Only encouraging words for the visiting artists. It’s pathetic, really: they want us to reach out to Cuba, but at the same time want us to boycott Israel.
Of course, playing rugby against apartheid South Africa was seen as “legitimising” the regime – and Cuba is no more a democracy than was SA. I can’t see any difference, other than that the Beeboids presumably regard the Castro regime as legitimate. As you do when you’re a fan of a psycho like Guevara.
