Orchila obituary...


Not quite...and not wishing to appear morbid - and against Venezuelan majority opinion - IMHO there isn't long to go. Hugo Chavez is in his presidential residence on the island of Orchila; having not been seen in public since early December he was returned by night and in secret - without fanfare or warning - to Venezuela to be treated at military hospital in Caracas ten days ago; still nobody saw him although to listen to the sock-puppets you'd think he had 'breathing difficulties' but was running things. Then, a few days ago he is sent to 'a family setting' after a new rapidly-developing lung tumor had affected 35% of his left lung, this worsening diagnosis apparently on the same day he had 5 hour meetings with government reps [ABC Esp]. He is battling for his life [BBC]; no more lies.

I see tonight that people are on the streets demanding proof that he is still alive. I think we should do the same over here for Gordon Brown.
