| Thank you Cuba on 13:10 - Mar 19 with 964 views | Pegojack | Trump has reversed the detente measures introduced towards Cuba by Obama and is slowly starving the population by draconian oil sanctions, which means drastic fuel shortages, which means no diesel for tractors, which means less food being grown and farmers having to plough with oxen. Read about it in the Guardian. I hope the orange faced cwnt catches corona virus soon, or chokes on a burger. [Post edited 19 Mar 2020 17:12]

Are they still putting homosexuals into concentration camps or have they given that up for Lent? |  |

Are they still sending practising homosexuals to prison in that European country, what's it called now, oh yes Great Britain. It has been legal to be homosexual in Cuba since 1979 and it is illegal in the county to discriminate against anyone on the basis of sexual orientation. Try and get your anti communist propaganda a bit more up to date, Loh. If you want to highlight anti gay attitudes, maybe you ought to turn your attention to the Great Orange Faced Buffoon a few hundred miles north. [Post edited 19 Mar 2020 18:54]

Could I call their government #### and vote them out of office? Because if not they are scum as is everyone who defends them. (Speaking as a paid-up Labour Party member.) You're a good guy but you need to sort out your priorities. The UK sending gays to prison in 2020? Please explain. [Post edited 19 Mar 2020 19:36]

In my post I pointed out that Trump is trying to starve the Cuban population and I pointed out that Loh's characterisation of official persecution of gays was way out of date. I don't support their political system, but everything is relative. Cuba is the only country in Latin America to have eradicated hunger (despite Trump's efforts), it has good education and healthcare. So you support Trump's efforts to starve out Cuban men, women and children then, do you Glyn? As far as I'm aware, that's not official Labour Party policy. |  | |  |

| Thank you Cuba on 08:13 - Mar 20 by Pegojack | Loh was talking about Cuba sending gays to labour camps, which did happen in the sixties. I'm pointing out that the UK did something similar in the same time period. Keep up, Sunshine. |
Keep up sunshine? I'm surprised at you being so patronising! But thanks for educating me on the subject. I didn't realise that homosexuals were sent to labour camps in this country prior to 1967! I always believed that the maximum sentence was 2 years in prison, which was rarely enforced. Both wrong of course. but entirely incomparable. |  | |  |

I apologise for the patronising name calling. I put it down to being stir crazy after a week in lockdown. Your assertion 'rarely enforced' has no basis in fact. The more I've read about it as a result of this thread, the more appalled I've become by the UK's legal persecution of homosexuals which didn't, contray to popular belief, end in 1967, but instead intensified. I suggest you google and read the article "Don't Fall for the Myth That It's 50 Years Since We Decriminalised Homosexuality" by Peter Tatchell. If you have an open mind, that is. |  | |  |

I agree. Loh shouldn't brought it up in the first place. He's usually better than that. |  |
