Well who would of thought of it that Scotland are basically proposing the same idea. With some 400 people owning most of Scotland ' s land. SNP's Nicola Sturgeon is proposing 1 million acre land grab for the public by 2025.

Imagine a Glaswegian townie farming the highlands?

And most of those enormous tracts of land are worthless moorland unsuitable for anything other than grouse shooting, stalking, fishing and walking, a good scource of income for the Scottish economy. But not if it's broken up into small bits. What a bunch of jealous idiots.

It's all about equality.
And when we have equality, we'll all be equally poor.
Apart from the politcal fat cats of course. Well how else would they retain a little superiority?

Personally, I trust female politicians LESS than I do their male counterparts.

Wee Nicola looks a nasty piece of work to me, nothing to endear anyone to her......looks like Rab's Mrs.

Here in zim the new source of income is flogging the place off to the Chinese . Unfortunately it's not filtering down, there's 3 day power cuts / up to 2 weeks no water in reasonable suburb Harare. Some people are taking advantage land was given them back , others are happy sitting back just showing off they have land ( back )

Mugabe and Nkomo were very fortunate to survive assassination in the 70s. In retrospect it's unfortunate that they did.

Well thank goodness for that


How far would this have gone on if TB Liar had funded land reform and been so keen on useless sanctions

The Who said it ages ago:

'Meet the new boss same as the old boss.'

Nothing will change.All his old cronies are still there and all of the same mindset. Emmerson Mnangagwa and his mates only forced the issue because they heard Mugabe wanted the leadership to go to his wife instead of him.He is a real charmer.Zimbabwe will probably end up even worse than before as is usually the case when corrupt dictatorships fail & the next nastiest bas*ard is in line to take over.
