Where will it all end?

Once known as the bread basket of Africa, Zimbabwe today under the cruel dictatorship of the deranged Marxist Mugabe is now Africa’s chief “basket case”.
Its decay into Africa’s most impoverished nation, with inflation running at 1700% and life expectancy dropping to around 30, stems from Mugabe’s confiscation of the white farmers’ lands. Each farmer employed at least 200 black Africans and most even had schools for the workers’ children. Since those farms were handed over to lackeys of Mugabe’s Zanu-PR party, all that most of them grow are weeds. And so the people starve and those supporting the Movement for Democratic Change are literally beaten to within an inch of their lives.
Back in 1965, when Zimbabwe was called Rhodesia, former Battle of Britain Spitfire pilot Ian Smith declared Universal Independence (UDI) for Rhodesia to run the country, free from the interference of Harold Wilson’s Labour Government. On the day of Smith’s declaration, November 11th, I went to Trafalgar Square with a number of fellow British Nationalists where we held an impromptu meeting in support of Ian Smith actions as being the only way of preserving civilisation in Rhodesia for the advantages of all its people, black and white. The support from passing Londoners (nearly all white in those days) and Rhodesians and South Africans made my arrest and a fine of £15 for speaking from the plinth without a licence all worthwhile.Labour doesn’t really change, whether it is the ‘old’ or the ‘new’ version. Tony Blair and his caravanning specialist and part-time Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett, can justify sending our troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, where no British interests or responsibilities were involved, but ignore the fate of the people of Zimbabwe whose murderous dictator we installed. A battalion of Royal Marines and/or Paras would have removed Mugabe and restored democracy long ago.
There is a grim message in this for those remaining whites in neighbouring South Africa. President Mbeki has, so far, refused to utter a word of criticism of Mugabe’s actions, and in fact seems to relish them. Since the end of Apartheid, the wonderland of Mandela’s “rainbow nation” has not really materialised. Instead, the Government of the Africa National Congress Party becomes ever more based on race. Whites – whether Afrikaners or British origin, coloureds and Indians feel that their groups are being reduced to second class citizenship. The civil service, the police, the prosecution services have all lost their most experienced whites, often to be replaced by semi-educated blacks.
Crime is now more endemic than in Zimbabwe, with 50 murders a day. And what is rarely reported in the UK press are the increasing number of murders of white farmers, now in excess of 2,000 since 1991. South Africa’s farmers are also facing the use of expropriation, or compulsory purchase, to settle clams for their lands; a policy reminiscent of Zimbabwe’s forced seizure of white farms.
Where will it all end? Land owners in the Vale of York had better hope that the Muslims of the West Riding towns do not start showing an interest in farming
