Mugger Mugabe


The big man of Zimbabwe is at it again. He and his new "best" friends in the military, security services and elsewhere are really really cracking down on everyone who is even contemplating voting against him. I don't know who is in control anymore but they are all nuts.

There has been talk of Mugabe being the nominal leader and the military running the show. I don't care, they all have to go.

Today various sanctions have been suggested. Nick Clegg wants a crackdown on remittances from overseas. A harsh but fair approach because it is a bit scatter gun approach but it would hit the elite in the pocket (as well as those who rely on relatives to subsist).

Australia has banned education of the elites' children. Everyone else should copy that idea. It's a little one that would have a big impact. I would also deport them all back to Zimbabwe to be with their family and hopefully they will get a glimpse at how the other 99 percent of their countrymen live.

The UK and others are also thinking of applying pressure on South Africa to cut the electricity supply that Zim relies on. Again it affects everyone but really would get at the elite and apply pressure on them. Furthermore the South African Government needs all the spare electricity it can get as its economy begins to suffer from shortages.

I would also go after the hidden billions that are no doubt stashed in Swiss banks accounts and elsewhere. Get freezing orders etc.

Furthermore I would actually enforce the travel ban on the elite and especially Mugabes wife, Grace. She would hate the loss of those shopping trips.

Finally we should consider actively undermining Mugabe in his own country. I know there are a whole load of arguments against it but people are dying there. We must act.
