Zimbabwe and Proof of a rigged vote

Tonight, Friday, the first story on Newsnight was about Zimbabwe. Thanks to the Guardian, one of the few serious newspapers we still have in Britain, they had obtained film of the way that Mugabe and Zanu-PF enforced that people were not able to vote in a free and fair way.

However, before you go there, I have this comment to say.

I have long puzzled about why Mugabe has destroyed his country in the way that he has. And while I have long suspected it, the way he has acted in recent weeks has revealed that he is just nothing more than a racist.

Like all people who are prejudiced, he seeks to blame others for his own failings. In his mind its the White land owners and the former colonial masters that are to blame, all racists need their scapegoats. Finally the world sees him for what he is, a lying thug that enriches himself while his people starve.
