Little Ollie "Not Very Happy" in the WCE

The advancement of public education was one of
but-many sweeping reforms introduced by PM Mango when he
assumed high-office last year.
Education in the WCE had been badly-neglected (some
have described it as 'criminal-neglect') during the
regime of the former KoW.

A student-exchange program has now been instituted,
the 'Student Abroad Program', or SAP.

Ten day's ago Nudist Party Leader Iggy Poop's teenage
daughter, Dottie, travelled to Russia, to spend three months
studying at the Anton Checkhov Institute, in Tomsk.

Mr and Mrs Poop reciprocated by hosting a young Russian boy,
Oleg (Ollie) Nokimov, who arrived in the Expatdom last week.

Last night on a WCE Radio-4UE's talkback program, little Ollie
was interviewed by the evergreen host, Edgar Cronkite (no relation).

In an emotional, at-times heart-rending dialogue, young Ollie said
that whilst he was grateful for the opoortunity to live and study in the
WCE, he was struggling with pangs of homesickness.

"I like this Expatdom", he snuffled, "but nobody here seems to like
playing chess. I never hear any balalaika music anywhere here, and there are
no old movies about Rasputin, or Sputniks, on your TV channels!".

Also, looking out my bedroom window at Mr and Mrs Poop's home, I see
fields of green - don't you have beautiful views of cadmium smelters like
we have back home, here?".
He told host Cronkite that there is one thing that he does enjoy here in the WCE.
"Yes, I love all those adorable monkeys you have here, down in
your Nineteen Thousand and Twelve Bar street!".

This morning Iggy Poop said that he had been in contact with little Ollie's family,
in Russia to discuss the boy's unhappiness. Poop said that the boy's
uncle, Vanya, would be arriving in the WCE in the next few days.

"Uncle Vanya", Poop went on, "hails from Leningrad. He is coming here to
assist with little Ollie's adjustment to life here in the WCE. Also,
Uncle Vanya will be keen to meet with fellow Russians who we already
have living here in the Expatdom."

Iggy Poop said that he knew very little about Uncle Vanya. "Oh, but on the 'phone, Vanya did say that he'd once shaken hands with former Premier Kruschev".
