Three Tory MP's, Nadine Dorries, Steve Baker and Caroline Noakes, have been on a five-star all-expenses paid junket to Equatorial Guinea funded by the murderous dictator Teodora Obiang pictured above. After visiting the country, where political opponents are routinely tortured and most of the country lives in abject poverty despite having vast oil reserves, the Tory trio described human rights violations there as "trivial." We asked one of them, who cannot be identified for tax reasons, for a statement; "I can't see what all the fuss is about. President Obiang was perfectly lovely and charmingly eager to show us his collection of shrunken heads and Adolf Hitler memorabilia. The fact that his country is full of bone-idle scroungers is hardly his fault, while his vast fortune is the result of hard work and well-earned bonuses. The reason for our visit was to assess his version of the "Great Society" which, as anyone can see, has been an outstanding success in Equatorial Guninea. I hasten to add that oil had nothing to do with our visit, although we are always interested in meeting anyone, no matter how obnoxious, who has access to it."
