Even out immigrants are well paid and housed.

Chavez wants to give us cheap oil, more than a million barrels to run the buses.

Angie Bray and Mike Tuffrey don’t want it.

They say there is no poverty in London.

“The old, sick and unemployed are filthy rich here” they said.

“Even out immigrants are housed well and are not exploited”, they explained.

Angie Bray, the leader of London's Tories, dismissed the scheme as a "socialist propaganda fest".

She said: "Ken and the president of Venezuela should be ashamed of themselves for even contemplating giving the poor something. London is the world's most prosperous city and we don’t want cheap oil."

Mike Tuffrey, the leader of the Liberal Democrats in London, said the deal smacked of aid, not trade. "This reduces us to the status of a third-world barter economy.

“We don’t want any stinking cheap oil” he said.

This is really a very nice deal - theres nothing wrong with exchanging experience/knowledge for energy resources it should be the basis of our relationship with the middle east aswell. Instead of militarily-corperate control of the middle east we should concentrate on influence through trade and partnership. Trying to dominate countries like Venezuela and Those in the middle-east or Asia militarily or economical is not sustainable and not in Britains best interests. Britain and Europe are in an idea position to benefit from this kind of realtionship with the middleast while america is not.
