Venezuelans under Chavez are now enjoying shelves full of cheese. In England we can only dream of such things.
One of Hugo Chavez’s many achievements has been to make absolute nutter behaviour respectable. I take the point that if the coup-plotters are putting it about that there is no cheese, when cheese is plentiful, then you have to expose them for the liars and fanatics they are. In a Venezuelan context this cheese post is reasonable enough.
But if a Brazilian or Argentine went around a supermarket photographing the beans, and wrote patriotic posts about the abundance of breakfast cereals, people would say he had lost his wits.
