Astute Observations from Beyond

"Fidel Castro," whose "best health care in the world" involves the common folk scrounging for Pepto-Bismol and aspirin on the black market while the party elite and foreign tourists enjoy special clinics, has criticised the British, saying that the price of the new Astute-class submarines would train 75,000 doctors.

Quite right. And if we didn't have the submarines we could employ all those doctors to patch up all the people maimed by the likes of Castro as they run rough-shod over the world.

Don't you have some mouldering to get on with, old boy?

    Hmm...Fidel complaining about the domestic policies of countries that AREN'T still driving Edsels?

    There's the pot calling the kettle African-American...or something...

    Not your best analogy, I think. Cuba isn't going to be invading anywhere else soon, with or without the prevention of UK submarines.

    Now if the comment had come from Iran, perhaps...
