Gunship,
Thanks a lot for all the details about Mugabe, this man is the ruination of his nation. What I also find SO pathetic is the totally useless and feeble reaction of the British government. A lot of the disposessed in Zimbabwe hold British passports and yet they have had absolutely NO help from London (OK - so a Mugabe official was refused passage through LHR - big deal!!!). This sort of chronic inaction sends out all the wrong signals, freezing a few assets and petty travel restrictions have proved utterly ineffective. I'm embarassed and ashamed to be British when our government shows such weakness................
In Europe we are now being asked to contribute to Aid Agencies to prevent a famine of 6 million people in Zimbabwe, a few short years ago there was a food surplus which was exported.
A model country for the continent is now a shambles..............
