White Farmers Give Mugabe the Finger

We just can't get enough of Robert "Mad Bob" Mugabe. This past weekend we brought you this story about how he and his government want the white farmers they once seized land from to return to Zimbabwe. Since Mugabe, in the typical Marxist practice of collective "nationalization," seized their land, nobody apparently knows how to grow anything on it. Well, it seems the white farmers aren't impressed, and they are giving Mugabe the big middle finger:

Greg McMurray, a tobacco farmer who fled Zimbabwe in 2001 and is now a grinder at a factory in Wiltshire, said: "These are empty promises. We have had all the assurances before and then they just turn around and change their minds.

"I had them coming into my garden and threatening my fiancée. Men with a bit of beer in their bellies told me, 'We'll come and burn you and your wife and your house'.

"I would love to go back but the economy's in ruins. The place is a shambles. So many professional people have left. It would need a new regime before most of us would think seriously about going back."

Good on 'em!
