Joined Up Government

[Rave]

So while Jack Straw is calling on the rest of Africa to condemn Mugabe's latest atrocities (with predictably unsuccessful results ).....apparently it's still fine to send people back there.

Seriously....is anyone up for a coup d'etat tomorrow? I've really had enough of this UTTER ****.

Edit: I need to stop reading the BBC before I have an apopleptic fit:

He said that of those who had been returned there had been "no substantiated reports of mistreatment".

Yeah, and maybe that's because THE INDEPENDENT PRESS AND HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATIONS HAVE ALL BEEN CHUCKED OUT OF ZIMBABWE?

YOU STUPID BEARDY ****HOLE!!

ARRRGGHHH!!!!

Well, that didn't work. Couldn't resist finishing the rest of the BBC article and in the very next paragraph came across this:

Earlier Tony Blair said the danger of halting all deportations was that a signal would be sent around the world "that Britain is open for business" even for failed asylum seekers.

"If we engage in a generalised moratorium, our fear is that we would literally be back in the situation we were two or three years ago where people were hammering us for not getting the asylum system under control," he said.

Hey, so I guess it's fine to send a few dozen Zimbabweans back to be disappeared just so that you don't look soft in the eyes of Sun reading scum eh Tony?

FWIW, Blair claims to be a Christian. That's the really sad thing about it.

A few years ago SAS snipers were in a position to cap him ....I have this on good authority. Blair said no.

The thing that amazes me is that Blair will go to war in Iraq where Saddam at least gave the public services and at least an existance of some form. Mugabe doesn't even attempt to hide the fact that he's burning thousands and possibly millions out of their homes for pretty much no reason other than to "clean up" cities.

Is it just me or would it have been a much better use of time, money and lives to take out this excuse for a human being? How much of a hypocrite do you have to be to sit and watch Mugabe breach human rights in every possible way?
