Up yours, comandante

Via ConservativeHome, three cheers for Boris Johnson:

gingeral: Are you going to cancel Ken Livingstone's planned celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Cuban revolution next year (bearing in mind that Castro killed more people in his first three years in office than Pinochet managed in seventeen!)?

You can rest assured this is a dead plan. It is no more, it has ceased to be, it is an ex-plan! My administration will not be treating taxpayer’s money with the lax attitude of the previous administration.

Marvellous.

Of course, it won't help any of the people imprisoned by Castro for such crimes being gay or disagreeing with his regime, or bring back those killed by his deranged murderer-in-chief Che Guevara - but Boris' decision raises a little smile nonetheless...
