I th8ink you will find there is a difference between what's in the bank

No one will lend Zimbabwe anything.

I rather think that could be a good thing here. It would hurt, but
eventually we'd have a robust economy that *had* to balance.

Unlike Zimbabwe, we do actually have some income - we just need to stop the
****ers in number 10 wasting it.

Plus massive tourist potential, English language and the legacy of
empire in (once?) good rail and road infrastructure.

I have been to Zimbabwe twice, first time in 1987. After Zambia, which
really was third world, Zimbabwe was a revelation: no shortages in the
shops, international dialling from my hotel room, shops that took
credit cards, perfect climate and lovely people.

It is a tragedy to see what has befallen the country and more than a
little blame attaches to the government of South Africa. In apartheid
days they (then the ANC) told the rest of the world that they couldn't
stand by and let the abuse of black people continue. But when it's
black on black in Zimbabwe, they couldn't care less.

I was once told that if the countries around Lake Victoria (Uganda,

for about 10 years, and then there would be another round of little

Unlikely given that they wouldnt have any way of paying for that food.

At one time, they did. I'll leave it to you to work out why that is
no longer so.

No need to work it out, once you understand that Zimbabwe is the victim
of stringent international sanctions. Oddly, the FCO and the BBC almost
never mention this on air, hoping instead that the sheep will believe
it's all Mugabe's fault.

Nope, we'd see full depressions again.

Very badly indeed in fact.

Nope, just a ruined one. Britain would never have
survived the complete implosion of much of the
world financial system if no one would ever lend
it anything and it couldnt print money.

Unlike Zimbabwe, we do actually have some income -
we just need to stop the ****ers in number 10 wasting it.

Its MUCH more complicated than that once the **** has hit
the fan very comprehensively indeed as it did just recently.
