Indeed, very Stalinesque

Am I dreaming, or is this for real? Very Stalinesque indeed.

Chavez, Castro maybe? Imagine it’s almost 2017 and we must shut up, before we get Roget, Abdulah or Warwick vex. Yes, 2017 and we are listening to these1950s throwbacks. The day after the illustrious steel workers went to celebrate their win in that great Industrial Court, beating drums etc, ArcelorMittal shut down and left. The party came to an abrupt end and tears flowed. I suppose they felt “we was just kidding”.

Do the unions not learn anything? But sorry, I forgot, the unions are businesses too, riding on the backs of the workers.

Check the cars they drive.

Then a government minister suggests “maybe Government could give workers a piece of land so they could open a PriceSmart.” Well! Well! Anyway, let me shut my mouth before union police come for me.
