United Nations Sustainable Development Commisssion

In recent weeks, there has been much hullabaloo surrounding Zimbabwe's
election to head the United Nations Sustainable Development commission, with
many saying the Mugabe government has been utterly useless at environmental
management.


This is of course a malicious fabrication encouraged by the colonialist
Blair and Bush governments. Zimbabwe has taken some bold initiatives to deal
with emissions. It started phasing out petrol and diesel a few years ago.

This has seen the introduction of the pedal bicycle Police patrol and
reaction force, which has been increasing in popularity over the past
months, as motorized cars are apparently being phased out.


Then it came up with a marvelous population control plan, donating a third
of its citizens to other countries. The reduction in the population will
naturally have a big impact on shrinking the country's carbon footprint,
though some in the media have mischievously argued that any reduction is a
drop in the ocean next to the emissions from the Zimbabwe Parliament.

A few weeks ago it announced that it was doing away with electricity in cities.

This week Harare said that, as part of a major "mechanization programme", it
was encouraging farmers to use ox-drawn carts and ploughs instead of tractors.


Zimbabwe is currently at it's 1952 level of productivity.

Fed up with Ex-pats

As a lot of you know I live in Oxfordshire and for some reason or other am surrounded by Ex-pat South Africans. In the past two weeks I have spoken at length to at least four of them who constantly bemoan their own country to such an extent that if I hadn't lived there or even visited then I wouldn't want to go near the place. In all the years I lived in SA I visited Joburg many times and once had my camera stolen. How did this happen? I left it on the front seat of my vehicle with the door unlocked!!!! Why do they make the place sound as if it is a war zone where the locals sit in bushes waiting for a white tourist to arrive before mugging them at knife/gun point. It happens all over the bloody world you idiots. Once when I lived in Cape Town, Ruth and I were invited to the Overseas Visitors Club for a party to see off a few of Capetown's youngsters who were leaving to live elsewhere.

I asked this one couple why they were leaving: Ahgg, Cape Town has become so African lately!!!!

Where are you moving to: Brixton, London.

Stay there I thought and never come back, you don't deserve the wonderful place you were born in.

I have some friends in my local pub who used to go to Cape Town every year and a local SA who lives in the same village has actually put them off going again.

I do have to say though that Zimbabwe is a better place but that doesn't mean that SA isn't just as wonderful a place to visit as well. So now when I meet a SA I tend to avoid the subject otherwise I will get a bit violent and perhaps mug them myself, which would drive them back to SA and that would be a tragedy as Britain does deserves them.
