Ecuador’s election wasn’t free — and its people will pay the price under President Noboa

OVER the last week I have spent some time watching the BBC World Service. Naturally, much of the coverage focused on events in the House of Commons where so-called “Super Saturday” failed to live up to the hype surrounding it.
Like a final-day league decider there was extensive frenzied, pre-match hype in the media. Players from both sides were interviewed speculating on the outcome, supporters gave their completely over-the-top biased opinions, while bedecked in their team colours. In the centre the referee strutted and preened milking the moment for all he could.
As the game got under way, Barclay, the blue team centre forward, attempted an early strike but the red team generalissimo Starmer effortlessly demolished each attack with a skilled, elegant and precise performance.
