Make Britain Great again!

We're having trouble keeping hold of fucking Scotland at the moment: an Empire would be impossible for the job-dodging sow in number ten to handle: she's already pissed away a billion pounds because she can't concentrate on the one job she's meant to be doing...

Not this then? Perspective I suppose, with all the military coups and so on and so forth.

'Petty and mean' can be very cheering at times. [;)]

Mugabe should have been kicked out years ago. Sadly I think the corrupt will only be replaced by more of the same.

There's a sense of anticipation amongst Zimbabweans - but ...

"If the ousted Mr Mnangagwa does come back to succeed Mr Mugabe as president, his credentials are not too dissimilar.

Another veteran of the country's war of independence, he has been considered a key link between the army, intelligence agencies and Zanu-PF party. He has been accused of masterminding atrocities during the country's civil war and attacks on opposition supporters.

In the last four decades, the country has been dominated by veterans and the military looks to have intervened to keep that status quo."

Obviously: the army were fairly happy with the situation until Mugabe deposed him and stated that his wife would be taking over as president instead, weren't they?

He must not have ever consulted Roman history. Even Caesar had to be reminded by his senate no less, that you can't mistreat or fuck with the army. Without the army, [you] have nothing. The army is the 'dic' that supports the...'tator.'

Caesar from then on...showered the army.

Not so sure of that in Mugabe's case. He loves his Savile Row suits and his cricket. An ardent admirer of Thatcher, too. Despite his being a 'Marxist-Leninist', albeit of a very crude flavour. A funny old stick ... as well as being a tyrannical, murdering shit. Well, it'll be great to see the evil piece of filth go, anyway - regardless of the utter turd who might take his place (and there are plenty of them in the forefront of Zimbabwean politics).
