Good luck to President Obama in using the Summit of the Americas next month to reach out to Cuba, the country to which I would move if I really did want a government that persecuted those who engaged in homosexual acts.
President Obama should lift the entire blockade, which only attracts sympathy to this regime that does not deserve it, perhaps most notable as the model for Britain’s impregnable pseudo-comprehensive schools by means of which the real, but vigorously self-denying, ruling class perpetuates itself from generation to generation.

Again, homosexuality is not illegal in Cuba.
Social mobility in Cuba is a damn sight better than either here or the US....
Neither of these statements is true.
Uh, why then has the Cuban government expressed support for equal rights for gay people? What chance of a poor youth in the US getting a full education?
On the first point, actions speak louder than words. Cuba's record on homosexuality is proverbial.
On the second point, I never said that the US was a very mobile society. I said that Cuba wasn't, either.
But what record are you looking at? A present one, or a historic one?
Income inequality is not wide in Cuba. Lifelong learning is prioritised with high public spending on education.
