[kj] Off US Election / Georgia / Israel Topic: Peel Sessions CD

[fluke fluke]

"he had a cheap oil deal with Hugo Chavez" 
 
 
   I ve always wondered about that deal . Venezuela is an impoverished Country with many of its people living in poverty, yet we purchase  cheap oil from them . London Transport  received cheap oil and with the savings they gave wealthy people half price fares . 
   Why didn't Ken charge Londoners the full price for bus fares and then pay Venezuela the full price for petrol ?
