Visit stats it's better not to talk about in too much detail ...

... I wrote a brief post earlier today about a delayed exit visa from Cuba for a critic of the regime there, who is a blogger, and who has been unable to travel to Madrid to collect a prize given for her blog-writing. Already I notice in my blog stats a couple of visits from Cuba, but I won't identify who the visitors' [servers] are, just in case anyone from the island's state security apparatus ever stumbles on my little blog and decides to query with my visitors why they chose to visit the blog of a renegade capitalist running-dog such as me. On the other hand if anyone 'official' from Cuba does ever visit here then can I just say to them:

When are you going to introduce proper democracy and accountability into your corrupt and inefficient socialist system of government?

Cuba - still the same old socialist nightmare!

Cuban blogger Yoani Sánchez has had to miss out on collecting her Ortega y Gasset digital journalism prize from Spain's El Pais newspaper in Madrid, for her blog which is often critical of Cuba's government, because the Cuban authorities "were unable to process her travel visa application in time". A likely story!
