    The suggestion is that with a possible Mugabe
    succession nigh, the military will not tolerate the
    purging of people in the Zanu PF party who were
    prominent in the "war of liberation" , in favour of /
    preparation for that successor.

    Or in summary ...

    Mrs Mugabe - you have one last chance to max
    out on your govt credit card.

    What a sad situation. Zimbabwe went from the bread basket of Africa to a nation on it's knees. It's a classic example of going from one of the richest countries in Africa to one of the poorest by a mismanaged transition to majority rule and having a ruthless, greedy dictator who cares less for his own people than the previous Apartheid regime. Let us hope for no more bloodshed.

    Zimbabwe might have had a better chance without a dictator like Mugabe in charge for so long - for 37 years<yikes>
    Castro managed 49 years.

  6. Somewhat bizarrely, after acknowledging his error and admitting that HNH were non-violent, Farage then goes on to say: “I am very surprised at Hope Not Hate’s announcement today that they have won their legal case against me. Some victory! Their statement today is thoroughly disingenuous."

    That's right out of the Trump book of Bollocks!! <laugh>

    If Sessions can't remember anything why did they give him his job?
    He's like a bus driver who can't remember his route!

    Breitbart are trying to claim that, somehow, HnH had to pay his legal fees as part of the settlement, which of course the Farage zealots wholeheartedly believe in spite of the fact this is clearly bollocks.

    I note with some glee that Herr Farage's daughters are just about to enter the orbit of that good ol' boy Roy Moore's fantasies. Hope Nigel is planning a wee family trip to Alabama soon!

    It's inevitable that he'll turn up, as long as they have some sort of separatist movement. Alabamexit?
    I doubt that his kids actually know who he is though, as he rarely seems to bump into them or their respective mothers.

    Since somebody who appears to have based their entire knowledge on what the Daily Mail tells him to think asked on Question Time...

    The only surprise is that, for a change, it wasn't a Tory councilor masquerading as a member of the public

    I know I'm a little late to the party but can I just say that Ralph Little is my new twitter hero.

    The irony for Mugabe is the very vets he pandered to
    who ruined the national agricultural sector etc are now
    the ones usurping him because he apparently
    tried to remove them from his succession plans.

    Hey, at least he made the UN General Assembly laugh:


    Took a thriving country with massive social problems and drove it into the ground to feed his own corruption and greed. Utter ****house.
    It would be nice if this was a new start for Zimbabwe, but it seems unlikely to be the case, unfortunately. Let's hope the general consensus is wrong.
