Mugabe: Nice chap, really.

Nice to see the BBC getting the ball rolling on rehabilitating Robert Mugabe’s image. Turns out it was all a misunderstanding and Britain’s fault, really.

Personally, I’m relieved. I was worried that we had finally found a problem in the world that couldn’t be directly blamed on Britain or America.

In other Zimbabwe news, they’ve just launched a banknote with a face value of 200,000 Zimbabwe dollars. What does that buy you in Mugabe’s paradise? A bag of sugar - if you can find one.

Well, the British Empire complicated things certainly, but Mugabe is a vicious opportunist. He has really rooted things up in Zimbabwe. He doesn’t need apologists. He needs more of his peers calling him out.
