I believe Venezuelas thug-in-chief recently took over many of the rice mills to ensure there was none of the profiteering Paul Burns bleats about.

Also depends on whether you'd even concede there's ever been a socialist govt (as opposed to a centrally controlled economy). I'm not sure I would.

FuelChoice would ,likewise, have provided the consumer with valuable information had it not been, possibly, white anted by an ant working within the public service whose sympathy was to the Liberal Party and Big Oil.
