So, What's the Problem then?

On Wednesday the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, rejected calls to strip the tyrannical despot Mugabe of his honorary knighthood, a title that was conferred on him in 1994 during the sojourn of John Major's government. Brown warned that stripping Mugabe of this honorary title --- (strange to use the word 'honorary' in connection with Mugabe!) --- would undermine efforts to force Mugabe to end human rights abuses.

On the same day the Foreign Secretary, David Miliband, when speaking of the illegal detention of Zimbabwe's Opposition Leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, said: "The history of violence and intimidation against the opposition is a stain on Zimbabwe."

This morning's news carried an item in which Miliband made the idiotic statement to the effect that democracy meant that if the people wanted change then all they had to do was vote Mugabe out.

WHAT PLANET DO THESE PEOPLE LIVE ON!

In the recent elections in which people DID vote Mugabe out of power even after he did all he could to rig the results he still refused to leave. Now this week the world's attention has been drawn to this prancing madman as he took centre stage in Portugal as a GUEST of the UN for the Food Programme Forum.

When will the world act? When will world compassion kick in and rescue the people of Zimbabwe from the clutches of this megalomaniac? Please lobby your Political Representative, whether Senator or Member of Parliament, depending where you live.

And one more thing . . .

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF ZIMBABWE
