Ideologically Confined

Democracy among the lesser breeds is often still a primitive affair, and the Chilean government has strayed so far from the path of virtue as to impose inferior housing conditions upon some friends of the sainted Thatcher. In order to relieve overcrowding elsewhere, the authorities plan to re-purpose the luxury retirement home where the doddering accomplices of the delightful Augusto Pinochet have been housed at the public's expense. It's bad enough to believe that prisons can ever be too overcrowded; but attempting to remedy the situation by inconveniencing moderate and sensible patriots demonstrates just how far from British values the Latin American consciousness remains.
