The ban on US travel to Cuba may be lifted, but isn’t the timing so 1989? Old Havana has been affected by the European tourists which have been coming for decades, but opening the gates to the capitalist hordes of the American unwashed has been a dreadful prospect for the idyllic socialist retreat.

And it’s Castro, not Reagan, who’s lived to see it.
‘Capitalism has been felled’
Really? How did I miss that?
