Cuba Libre

Our favourite holiday destination.The Cuban people are wonderful and when you see at first hand how much they earn makes you want to weep.
They plough billions into the Arts and Medical worlds but the people are very poor.
We`ve been there four times and we`ve always taken, shirts/shorts,dresses and tops and toys for the kids, whose parents work at the hotels where we stay.
The look on their faces when we pass on these gifts is a joy to behold and they are so thankful of our generosity as most Brits do the same.

You’ve taken clothing to people who have free health care and free education. Their cup truly runneth over. Communism working a treat

Whenever a Mexican family from around here heads home for a visit, their vehicles are always rammed full of clothing for people down there

I was pointing out how utterly failed the Cuban political system is/ was. Your post merely affirmed that. Others seem to think free dental treatment is a panacea. The Cuban government is a dictatorial sham, that has caused utter ruin to its populace. And You don’t need to visit Havana to know that .

what a pathetic response. Its no just about what they get free its about the story in the round and whether the people of Cuba dislike Communism or their Govt - clearly you think their Govt and therefore Communism is disliked by the Cubans.......aside from the Cubans in Florida do you know how many Cubans want a change?

Infant mortality if you bothered to read. The UK's rate is 3.7, Cuba has an infant mortality rate comparable to modern European countries.

Some of the best performing South American countries have rates 2 or 3 times Cuba. What's USA and PR's excuse for performing worse than Cuba on IM?
