Some people here actually like the Chav.

# He isn't a dictator.
He's no saint. And to be honest he is annoying and full of him self.

But what anoys me is this idea that he's a dictator. He's an elected head of state, has actually done alot to promote a good agenda of pulling people from poverty (though it has a LONG way to go), and championed Native American rights in his country after what was previously a severly (though all so typical in south and central America) corrupt regime. Just because he's is rightly pissed off with United Sates' arrogance etc (I could go into that dispicable crap the CIA have done in the region over the last 30 years, most recently their attempt to cause a coup to remove him from power in 2000) doesn't make him the sort of evil meglamaniac that USA propaganda rubber stamps onto anyone that opposes their domination.

As far as slightly nutty heads of state, he really isn't that bad, its dangerous to make him out to be anything more. Just so I don't get my head bitten off 1. I havn't seen Oliver Stones new film, and like I am with all Stone films, I'm going to be VERY sceptical. 2. I reiterate, hes not my favourite person, but he's certainly FAR from the top of the list of my least favourite people.

# Well if he looks like a dictator and sounds like a dictator and acts like a dictator
then I'm not going to argue over the small print.

Ahmadinejad was voted in too. For all that matters.

Chav is closing down opposition media and trying to get himself the presidency of life. I'll lay money on him getting 99.999% of the vote with a 100% turnout. But as long as he (and his mate Mahmud) aren't dictators, that's alright.

# yeah but that's because it's only paid for by the licence fee
and I guess the BBC is scared of having to justify paying for those gigabytes flying away overseas.

They have a case, but Fox et al only stop non-Americans seeing their content because they can't be fucking arsed to sort out international licensing.
