I am available to serve as the interim, compromise President of Zimbabwe. I survived three years as the Secretary of Derwentside District Labour Party, and no fewer than eight as a governor of the Bede's. This should be a doddle.
Seriously, we need to face the fact that, while of course his margin of victory is ludicrously inflated, Mugabe would probably have won, anyway. Sad, but true. There are lots of rural Mashona, and he does look after them.
Everything else for which Margaret Thatcher stood has collapsed. But the man for whom she held out, such that she refused to recognise the Muzorewa Government, and for whom she arranged a knighthood, remains in office 33 years later, even after her death although she was younger than he was.
Mugabe is Thatcher's only enduring monument in the world.
Yes, this shows how Left-wing Thatcher often was-and just why Ian Smith should have stayed in power.
ReplyDeleteMugabe's closest ally and confidante in the region is Left-wing hero Nelson Mandela.
The British Left were Mugabe's biggest supporters; he was a "socialist", you see (and besides,the Left's attitude was "anyone but Ian Smith"). So all else was forgiven.
Just like Castro and Chavez.
The hypocrisy of the Left is unbelievable.
Yes, dear reader, you read aright.
ReplyDeleteThe people this youth probably means by "the British Left" wanted Nkomo, Thatcher insisted on waiting for Mugabe. Does the lad not know that?
ReplyDeleteEvidently not.
