Oil for Fools Scandal

Welfare from an oil rich yet still impoverished South American country to one of the wealthiest places in world.

Ken Livingstone has signed an oil deal with Venezuela - providing cheap fuel for London's buses and giving cut price travel for those on benefits.

Or to put it better...

"Why does London, one of the richest capitals in the world, need to exploit a developing nation? This money would be better directed at the poor of Venezuela,"

I guess it's just another case of anti-imperialist solidarity, or as it used to be called "no enemies to the Left".
