The debate thread.

I agree and whatever his beliefs (besides trator), he doesn't have to shout them from the rooftop.

 

It has been in all the papers and on the international press and the Sun has pictures of his staff hurredly taking the signs and nameplates down from his premesis.

[ukaviator]

Not a very good boss. He has a duty of care to his staff, and any angry visitor that turns up there, they will have to deal with. The 16 employed will probably lose their jobs if people boycott his company.

[DoomPriestKano]

So much for freedom of speech for all then...

 

And no, you can not "assume" anything of the sort, unless you can point out where I have said so, and good luck with that.

 

But colonialism is as much a dictatorship as a home-grown one, so saying that things were better under British rule or apartheid is like comparing one form of cancer to another.

 

To be honest though, britain had zimbabwe, then they moaned about independence and being the idiots we are we gave it to them, now what, they are dying of starvation, subject to abuse by that ***hole mugabe (who should be promptly "removed" from office by the SAS IMOVHO) and they are basically stuffed now.

 

British rule may be harsh, but it's safe, and used to be very lucrative, not so much nowdays mind you but still, between british ownership and abuse / disease / starvation / looting / military crime I would consider british rule to be the better option.

I know this is not really fair because whereas Mugabe had elections of a sort, Brown welched on his promise of an election regarding the European Consitution and therefore sold this country down the river. Personally, I'd like to see them both put against a wall and shot.

 

By the way - did you realise that Mugabe backwards = ebagum? Maybe he's a closet Yorkshireman.

[Desperate Daniella]

If the West REALLY wanted to remove Mugabe, they could. Some hired assassin would be able to get him. Therefore, for whatever twisted reason, the West must want him to stay.

 

He has totally ruined that country. Used to be called the Breadbasket of Africa, and look at it now.

 

There are very, very clever assassins out there - used by Governments. Years ago I was told by someone in the Diplomatic Service that these assassins live totally anonymously, not as we tend to think like those mercenaries depicted in such films as the Dogs of War, but as respected, very rich, members of their communities - wonderful houses, luxury lifestyle, and all funded by Governments who want a job done discreetly but very efficiently with no chance of failure. These guys deliver, so why is no-one in the West using one of them to take out Mugabe?

[AA99]

I lived there for 20 years, both in Rhodesia and Zimbabwe, and yes it is criminal how Mugabe has behaved. The rest of the world had no need to care until now it has become a Humanitarian issue.

 

The elections were held, yes, but the outcome had already been decided before the votes were counted:cool:

 

With 1 in 3 of the population dying of Aids, and the average life span being 34 yrs old, we could never understand why a middle-aged man, with Aids, couldn't be kitted out with grenades, etc, and just be in the crowd (paid crowd btw). His family and children could be looked after $$$$ wise:cool:

 

Still, let's hope good will overcome evil and that what goes around, comes around:(

I take it you live here now Daniella. Have you noticed any difference between the two countries and the leadership?

[Desperate Daniella]

It's AA who lived there, not me. So you'll have to ask her.

I live in the UK now and yes, there is a big difference between the countries and the leadership. Far too long a debate for me here I'm afraid but needless to say, I think every adult that complains about the UK should spend at least 6 months living in the Third World

If this country carries on for much longer with Brown in charge we'll all be living in the third world.

I agree. I don't to kindly to complaints about me ..
