Really! Can this actually be true! What on earth did anyone really expect? Rearrange the words ‘conclusion’ and ‘foregone’ into a well-known phrase or saying. What a tragedy for the poor people of Zimbabwe.

Perhaps if Zimbabwe renamed itself “New Saudi Arabia” or “New Qatar” we here in Britain wouldn’t be bothered if they just scrapped elections ?

If only Zimbabwe had oil to sell and could afford to spunk oil money on arms then it wouldn’t even be reported.

Cameron will on the phone asking for advice on how it’s done…
