Chávez deal to aid low-income Londoners


politics.guardian.co.uk
Up to a million people on income support will be eligible for half fares on London’s buses under Ken Livingstone’s oil deal with Hugo Chávez, Venezuela’s president.

Single parents, carers, the long-term sick and disabled people will benefit from the plan, first mooted during Mr Chávez’s visit to the UK last year, paying 50p for a single journey if they use an Oystercard.

Well what can I say - I guess PRIDE won in this cases. City of Chicago might turned away the free oil, but did the poor people living in the city of Chicago? But I really do not understand the Eskimos. Aren't they cold and would like some free oil, to warm their igloos up? Weird...

Marg,
I have been in Texas about twelve years or so now and to my knowledge the citizens of Texas get no royalties from the oil.
