Tour the Gulags
You can now tour the Gulags where Stalin incarcerated people who opposed his government. The weather is so perishingly cold that you can only visit in June and July each year. The price is a bargain £400 for a 12-day trip.
I wonder how long we will have to wait to visit America’s Gulag? Talking of which, The Guardian reports that the Iraq war will cost each American over $3400 – the annual cost of the war would be enough to provide health care for more than half of the 43 million US citizens who lack medical insurance.
The British seem to have a better deal – the Queen’s annual running costs amount to the equivalent of two bottles of milk (61 pence) per Briton per day.
