Multi- millionaire 'progressives' from the entertainment industry are weeping tears of lamentation in their Hollywood mansions today after hearing the news that their favourite tyrant has shuffled off his mortal coil and joined his bloodsoaked comrades down below.
The smell of sulphur must be wafting through the nostrils of the late lamented Hugo Chavez as he passes through the rusty gates to spend eternity with his new BFF.
America hating super rich hypocrites like Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Oliver Stone(d) and the one and only Hanoi Jane Fonda, made themselves immune from the consequences of Hugo Chavez's devastating rampage through Venezuela, choosing instead to hide away in their marbled mansions counting their money and pretending not to notice their hero's abuses.
It goes without question that Chavez was a bloodsoaked tyrant of the very highest order and typical of socialist politicians the world over.
It takes a particular kind of genius to engineer abject poverty, food shortages, hyper-inflation and a culture of corruption, out of a resource rich country which includes one of the highest proven level of oil reserves on the planet.
In good old socialist fashion, Chavez nationalised large and small enterprises alike, closed down any newspaper that criticised his tyranny, jailed and tortured any brave members of the opposition, rigged elections, appointed family members and cronies into positions of power and above all, like good socialist despots the world over, he accumulated a personal fortune estimated at $2 billion looted from the very people he was supposed to be liberating.
One question which is frequently asked is, if Venezuela's socialist system is so good, why did Chavez have to go to a notoriously backward cesspit like Cuba to get cancer treatment? That doesn't say much about the Venezuelan health service after 14 years of Chavez's socialism.
Chavez was perhaps most famous for his visceral hatred of America and its free enterprise system, although that didn't prevent him from selling his products to the US which, incidentally, increased his own personal fortune in the process.
Chavez and Vice President Maduro also entertained the world with their clownish behaviour. This
included the claim that it was capitalism that ended life on Mars and the accusation that it was the Americans that gave him cancer.
Perhaps we should assume that it was the Americans that gave the Marxist dictator 'Butcher' Bob Mugabe of Zimbabwe syphilis or maybe it was Americans that afflicted his friend and fellow tyrant Fidel Castro, with old age and senility.
Speaking of old age and senility, ex President Jimmy Carter, who many claim to be the worse President in history, led the tributes to his fellow socialist Chavez.
Carter helped with this assessment of history when he claimed that Chavez's election wins were free and fair despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary.
For the record and for the benefit of Jimmy Carter:
Opposition candidates were routinely and violently harassed, arrested, imprisoned and sometimes murdered.
Opposition newspapers were closed down.
Television stations were banned from giving air time to opposition candidates while Chavez propaganda was broadcast for up to 20 hours per day.
Opposition candidates were starved of funding while Chavez gave himself access to the unlimited funds of the Treasury.
Uncounted ballot papers were found at rubbish dumps outside all the major cities.
If these elections were free and fair then Iran's Ahmedinajad is a tolerant, Jew loving pacifist.
Tributes to the dictator came from his fans and supporters the world over including, the aforementioned Iranian nutcase Mahmoud Ahmedinajad, Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi, the earths current homicidal mass murderer, Bashar al-Assad of Syria.
Unsurprisingly the British tributes to the late dictator were led by the wife beating, tax dodging communist Ken Livingstone. The ex Mayor of London did a deal for oil with Chavez in a political stunt to embarrass the British government. Livingstone also commended the universal Healthcare system set up by Chavez in Venezuela, which is so good he had to go to Cuba for cancer treatment.
There are at least 17 Hugo Chavez fans in the British House of Commons according to Early Day Motion 859 (EDM 859), which commends the bloodsoaked dictator for his 14 year Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela. They also go on to praise the integrity of the electoral process that returned him to power because it was monitored by Jimmy Carter.
The EDM omitted to mention the thuggery, ballot rigging and human rights abuses directed against the opposition candidates by their socialist hero.
One of the Chavez cheerleaders in the House was Ronnie Campbell representing the Blyth Valley. This passionate socialist is a dinosaur left over from the National Union of Mineworkers, who, together with communist activist Arthur Scargill, was responsible for the demise of the entire coal mining industry costing hundreds of thousands of jobs.
He was joined by Jeremy Corbyn, the long time militant who represents the people of Islington North. Comrade Corbyn is a member of the Socialist Action Campaign and a writer for the communist rag, the Morning Star.
Comrade Corbyn is one of the socialist hypocrites who campaigned for the prosecution of Chile's General Pinochet but remained silent on the abuses of General Galtieri of Argentina.
Bloodsoaked military juntas and dictators are acceptable so long as they are approved by Comrade Corbyn.
The Mansfield Chapter of the Hugo Chavez fan club is led their MP Alan Meale. Comrade Meale is a Trade Unionist and career politician who puts into practice his belief in the redistribution of wealth.
Meale redistributed $21,000 of hard earned money from the taxpayer to himself for 'gardening' services. Hugo would be proud of this socialist crony.
One of Great Britain's most notorious supporters of Hugo Chavez is passionate socialist Linda Riordan representing the people of Halifax. She is a member of the extreme left wing Socialist Campaign Group and is a committed redistributor of other peoples wealth.
In good Chavez fashion Riordan set about building her own wealth by renting out her taxpayer subsidised apartment in London to a fellow socialist MP, who recharged the cost to the same taxpayers. This left Riordan without a residence, so she rented another apartment and recharged that back to the much abused taxpayers. It would appear that taxpayers hard earned money is there for venal politicians to loot as they see fit.
Brave Linda Riordan also secretly paid back some fiddled expenses and claimed innocence by blaming a lowly volunteer for the error.
The people represented by these socialist hypocrites should pay particular attention what they are doing and saying in their name.
Treating a bloodsoaked tyrant such as Hugo Chavez as some kind of celebrity to be worshipped in the manner of Justin Bieber, does nothing but insult the tortured and murdered victims of his tyranny.
These people should be ashamed of themselves and they should be making every effort to help the abused people of Venezuela recover from 14 debilitating years of Hugo Chavez's socialist dictatorship.
In the interests of humanity and in respect for the victims of Hugo Chavez's brutality, I look forward to these MP's signing and Early Day Motion acknowledging the demise of this despot and committing themselves to the rehabilitation of the newly freed people of Venezuela.

John Bercow And The Den Of Thieves
As I reflect upon the appalling behavior of the political elite and the public's reaction to it, I am reminded of an interview from the 70's with a lady from a battered womens' refuge in Chiswick, West London.
The husband of the lady in question would beat the living daylights out of her every day on his return from work before calmly sitting down to his evening meal.
The reason this lady gave for not running away was that her father regularly beat her mother, so she presumed this kind behavior was normal in a marriage plus, she added, it happened so often she came to expect it.
The shocking part was that she claimed she still loved her husband and that he loved her.
The conclusion of this sad story was that the lady was given counselling and educated to the fact that there is no love in an abusive relationship, her husband had no respect for her, he beat her because he could and he knew he would get away with it.
With her newly acquired self respect she exposed her husband to the media, she then had him prosecuted and thrown in the slammer.
The happy conclusion to this sad story was that the lady met up with a new partner and was in the process of a divorce with a plan to remarry.
Whenever I read about the behavior of our political elite my mind goes back to that interview all those years ago. Although there is no violence involved, the relationship between politicians and those they govern is, none the less, an abusive one but without the happy ending.
Politicians from both Houses of Parliament were helping themselves to shed loads of taxpayers money by exploiting an expenses system that was so corrupt it would make an African dictator blush. The public knew their representatives were cheating but were blissfully unaware of the extent of it.
When the Honourable Members of the House of Commons fought tooth and nail against a Freedom Of Information request to make their expense claims public, the peoples suspicions were aroused.
This suppression of transparency was successful and the public would have been none the wiser but for a whistleblower who made the information available to the Daily Telegraph who subsequently published it.
The reaction was volcanic, the public were appalled by the scale of the thievery but more importantly by the utter contempt and disrespect that these venal low life's had for the people they claimed to be representing.
Members from all parties were involved including millionaires and senior Members of the government.
The complete sorry details are too numerous to list here but they are available elsewhere on the Internet. The most notorious claims such duck houses and moat clearing have now entered into British political folklore.
MP's were indignant that they were exposed and went into a damage limitation mode as a matter of urgency. Some of the thieves were prosecuted and served time in the slammer, others lost their seats in the next election but by far the majority got away with it unpunished and with their loot intact.
To the disgust of these so called Honourable Members the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority was set up to monitor their activities and end the abuses. There's been a war of attrition between them ever since.
Despite the efforts of IPSA, MP's are still finding ways to help themselves to taxpayers money.
Recently there was the hard left champion of the poor and downtrodden, Ms Linda Riordan, renting out her taxpayer funded house to a fellow socialist, who then charged that rent to the taxpayer. Riordan then billed the taxpayer again for accommodation for herself. She makes some money and taxpayer gets screwed. As it turns out there were several other MP's pulling the same scam.
The public were outraged at this scam but only for the duration of the 24 hour news cycle, nothing surprises them anymore, like the battered lady at the beginning of the essay, the people now treat this disgraceful behavior as normal, they have come to expect it.
On the day that the convicted thief and career socialist Margaret Moran was spared prison on the grounds of her depression, (depression at getting caught no doubt), it was announced that the Speaker of the House, a tax cheat himself, John Bercow, has been enlisted by MP's to rig the makeup of IPSA.
Four independent members of IPSA have resigned as a result of this attempt at rigging. There can only be one reason for this, MP's do not like public scrutiny of their shenanigans and would like to get back to fleecing the taxpayer unobserved.
The reputation of politicians has never been lower but with tribal voting and a lack of scrutiny by the majority of the media they are safe in the knowledge that they have a taxpayer funded job for life, a copper bottomed pension and a lucrative sinecure on retirement.
Like the battered lady from the refuge, the people will continue to vote for the venal, self centered dregs of society until they are counselled and educated to regain their dignity and self respect.
They can then file for divorce, kick the villains out and find new partners who have their interests in mind.

Linda Riordan MP - Showing Contempt For Halifax and British Taxpayer
After some 6 weeks touring and visiting some of the most deprived areas of the Peoples Republic of S.Wales and some areas of England its good to be back at my keyboard.
The 24 hour news cycle determines that important issues, bad as they may be, are soon replaced and forgotten. This allows members of the Establishment, when have done despicable things, to make a quick conciliatory press release then lie low for a while to brazen it out in the certainly that their ill deeds will be forgotten and then its back to business as usual.
This appears to be the case with the taxpayer looting and uber socialist hypocrite Linda Riordan.
Just to remind ourselves of the issue surrounding this harpy. She is the Labour and Cooperative Party Member of Parliament for Halifax who was not on merit but from an all women shortlist.
She is from the hard left and is a member of the Socialist Campaign Group which was set up to rival the already far left Tribune Group, who apparently were not left wing enough.
Linda Riordan is joined in this cabal of lefties by racist hypocrite Diane Abbot who sees everything through skin colour and who gives her son an elitist education that she denies everyone else. Also in this gang is left wing hippy and Morning Star contributor Jeremy Corbyn together with the burned out old dinosaur and loudmouth Dennis Skinner.
Linda Riordan ticks all the boxes for Red Ed Miliband's future Parliamentary Labour Party in that she is, first and foremost, a woman. Apart from her gender she was a Labour councillor and the private secretary for the former member for Halifax. In other words she has no experience in the real world of industry, business or wealth creation. She is from the hard left so she is a redistributionist ideologue and an authoritarian to boot.
Linda Riordan signed up to congratulate the communist tyrant Hugo Chavez on his election victory in Venezuela. Her and her fellow Chavez supporters claim the election was free and fair, after all they point out Jimmy Carter said it was. Chavez's re-election was also welcomed by fellow communists Jose Manual Barrosso and Herman von Rumpoy on behalf of the European Union.
That would be the same European Union that has replaced the democratically elected governments of Greece and Italy with their own technocrats and who refuse to recognise the results of referendums if they don't like the result.
During the Venezuelan election campaign Linda Riordan's hero Chavez closed down the privately owned television companies and radio stations forcing those that remained to broadcast hours of his speeches while denying opposition candidates any air time.
Chavez also closed down opposition newspapers, he jailed and tortured opposition candidates and is violently anti Semitic. Chavez finances terrorists and considers that other blood soaked despot, Iran's president Ahmadinajad, a brother.
Chavez has seized almost 200 private businesses and is implicated in drug running on behalf of the Colombian drug cartels.
Linda Riordan supports Chavez's disastrous socialist economic policies that have led to food shortages and rationing in an oil rich country.
One would think that with her dedication to the communist cause, Linda Riordan would idolise the working class and one would think that her life would be devoted to supporting the working class and ensuring they keep the fruits of their labour.
If you think this would be the case then you couldn't be more wrong. Linda Riordan has nothing but contempt for the working class or her constituents in Halifax or their hard earned money.
As a hard left socialist she believes that the wealth of nation should be confiscated by the government and redistributed as they see fit.
That includes redistributing wealth from the pockets of her constituents into her own.
Linda Riordan has a house in her constituency and is also buying a taxpayer subsidised flat in London which would be out of reach for most of her constituents or any other working class people for that matter.
To any other decent person that would suffice but not Riordan. To supplement her generous salary, allowance and expenses package she rents out this London flat to Iain McKenzie, a fellow Labour MP at a profit and he claims this rent back off the taxpayer.
To rub the people's noses further into the dirt she then claims further accommodation allowance for herself payed for again by the taxpayer.
In a final money grubbing act of contempt for the people of Halifax and Great Britain, Linda Riordan employs her partner as a 'Senior Researcher' on an eye watering 42,000 pounds per year funded of course by us mugs, the taxpayers.
Also one would think that having been caught stuffing her and her partners' pockets with taxpayers money she would show some remorse and issue an apology. Again you would be wrong. In a typical piece of arrogance she demonstrates her sense of entitlement by issuing the standard press release with the usual worn out justification that it was 'within the rules'.
Typically, as ever by a Labour party MP immersed in the Mandelson, Gould, Campbell cult of spin, she is more concerned with the political fallout than contrition by stating that although it was "within the rules she is worried about the perception of her constituents and the wider general public."
The perception of her constituents and the public in general is that Linda Riordan is a common thief and a money grubbing socialist hypocrite who has no respect for her constituents or the taxpayers of this country.
Imposing her socialist ideology on the people of Great Britain is her mission in life and I implore the abused people of Halifax to do the decent thing and deselect the harpy.
Demonstrate to us all that you are not fodder to be used and abused to fulfil someone elses' political ambition.
