Those white devils, that'll show 'em!

Not sure why, but that really made me

I suppose if you don't laugh, you'll cry.
Take a read in the South Africa section; I take abuse for suggesting SA is heading in this direction.

Abuse? Don't worry, the facts of what comes will vindicate you.

South Africa is already on its last legs. They are about to seize foreign owned businesses and the seizure of white owned farms is getting very near the top of the agenda. Does this sound familiar?

but they will still beg money off of whitey.
we should collectivly tell them to f#ck off and rot in the mess they created.

Naturally there will soon be hundreds of demonstrations, boycotts, benefit gigs and fund-raising improv nights arranged by our right-on showbiz types to highlight this sickening racism.
Won't there?

[ChiChoAndy]

Of course there will, just like when white farmers were pushed forcibly out of their own farms, and ao on. Plenty of outrage my people... I was asleep at the time, however, and missed it all.

You go ahead and hold your breath on that one.

"it needs speeding up by someone jumping up and down on him. "

(Well, it made me chuckle )

Continual meddling from Aid Agencies prolonging the agony?

But wasn't Mandela a living saint and his party/ followers anointed by the baby Jesus himself? How could it have gone wrong? Oh...

There's someone murdered every 15 minutes or so in SA. Rape is massively more frequent. So much so many women have resorted to putting spikes inside themselves.

If your friends stay in the compound they're presumably living in and only venture to the underground car parks or allocated areas they'll be fine. I believe it can be a very pleasant gilded cage.

As far as I'm concerned, however, that represents utter urban hell. Mugabe may not like us "pink noses", but he keeps order.

That said I wouldn't expect much help from the authorities in Zimbabwae.

Here's the type of article which is all too common in South African media. Sickening.

Clearly, the previous 'white' regime was a corrupt and evil mob with no semblance of fairness or conscience - who might well have kept things together by managing a proper and prompt transition to an apartheid free political and social system - but at least they could organise and run a country.

Despite all the sanctimonious hero worship and jubilation over Saint Nelson - I have a friend who openly admits to weeping at the 'concert' for him in London, wtf did it have to do with he likes of him that he felt the need to go and worship? - Mandela and his followers have shown themselves to be just as corrupt, short sightedly partisan, incompetent and stupid (well, even more stupid if you take into account the nonsense about AIDS etc.) and the net result seems from most accounts to be a far worse society for almost everyone, except the ruling elite/party members and those rich enough to cope by insulating themselves. If coping and security is enough to feel happy and content?

On top of which it seems to be going down hill faster than a lubed handcart...

Pints likes the turn this thread has taken.



I'm just glad that it's not just ex-pats like myself who can see that things have turned out for the worse.
Where are all those who were demonstrating for a "free" South Africa all those years ago outside South Africa House? Apparently discrimination is fine, provided it's not the white man doing it.
