Come on South Africa

I hear Mr Gaunt on TalkSport has now noted the lovely Ms Robinsons comments. He appears to agree with me on this one.

He is also talking about Zimbabwe. The situation there is a disgrace. The key to it all is South Africa, however the ANC seems to be, by the day in little ways, moving towards a position of absolute power. An organisation that knows it has no electoral threat becomes arrogant and listens to no one. There is therefore a moral vacuum at the top of the ANC, and a genuine belief that to strike against the Fascist regime of Mugabe is a betrayal of "African Blacks" and their historic struggle. Had Mugabe been white the whole world would have acted long ago. As for Britain, we are so scared of our colonial past we are paralysed. (Why is it such a British thing, we don't call on the Italians to apologise for the Roman Empire, or the Scandinavians to say sorry for Viking raids?)

The only course of action is full economic and sporting sanctions against Zimbabwe, and furthermore, sanctions against any supporting nation, ie South Africa. SA will then have to come off the fence. If it was good enough when Whites oppressed Blacks it should be when Blacks oppress Blacks. It is time this tyrant was ousted.

Mind you the current British government does find it hard to do anything that involves dicussing elections or ballot boxes.
