Shed no tears for Nicolas Maduro – the Left’s anger at Donald Trump is remarkable | World | News
An early contender for photograph of the year has to be this image of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro with his hands bound, wearing ear defenders and giant dark glasses denying him any form of vision. Let’s be clear: shed no tears for this dictatorial tyrant. He stole an election, condemned his country to eye-watering inflation of over 200% and imprisoned opponents or allowed them to be “vanished.” What is remarkable is the contrived anger from the Liberal Left, who have worshiped crooked Marxist Maduro for years.
We live in a world – more for worse than better – of ‘strong men,’ as evidenced by the likes of Maduro along with the likes of Putin, Jong Un and Xi. Therefore, why is it so wrong for another ‘strong man’ to try and stand up to one of them and remove a callous dictator?

A police force fabricated evidence, invented a football match that never took place, allowed decision making to be influenced by partisan doctrine and then tried clumsily to cover it up.
The case of banning Israeli fans from attending a game at Aston Villa shames the West Midlands force and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch is right to lead the calls for Chief Constable Craig Guildford to resign.
Regrettably however, this supposed ‘top cop’ is a prime example of those in senior positions who seem to find the concepts of honour or dignity utterly elusive.

To those who ceaselessly proclaim our fantastic NHS is “the envy of the world,” I’d ask them to explain why alarm buttons and power points are being fitted to corridors nationwide as patients are now routinely treated in these areas.
The brilliant audacity of thinking that created this remarkable organisation almost 80-years ago needs to be revisited to guarantee its future – which would be so healthy for all of us.
