But nobody gave a monkey's about Venezuela before that. They couldn't even point to it on a map. My Tory voting father-in-law thought it was in Europe! Now, there are self-proclaimed experts in Venezuela popping up on every forum and newspaper comments section.
UK Universities should run degrees in Venezuelan studies. The UK would have a full intake ready to enroll. Although it's highly unlikely that any would graduate with anything higher than a third, because "Corbyn wants the UK to be like Venezuela, the Daily Mail said so" would be a pretty poor basis for their dissertations.
