Red Ken Livingstone and Really Red Hugo Chavez have worked out a plan to subsidize travel for London's poor. The travel supplements will be paid by Venezuela's poor.
The scheme has met with sturm and drung from all sides. UK's Green Sturm accused Red Ken of hypocrisy since he urges conservation and then grabs cheap oil. Conservative Pale Drung-Heap attacked Livingstone because, well, it's just a habit.
Venezuela will receive in return David Beckham and a draft pick to be named later. Caracas Cucarachas Football coach Red Auerbacho puffed on his famous Cuban victory cigar and bragged: "With Beckham we will conquer the world! The poor of my city will be more than happy to go without food as long as they have a winning team. Futbol es rey aqui! Food can wait especially if you have Colombian coca leaves to kill the pangs!"
ET McCrone, candidate for PrezMinister of the UKUS, accused red Ken of stealing his plan to reunite colonies with colonizers.
