Gideon Gono, the governor of the Zimbabwean central bank, said that attempts to inflate Western economies by printing money justified his decision to print billions of dollars of worthless notes, sending inflation into the stratosphere. “The IMF asked the US to please print money. I began to see the whole world now in a mode of practising what they have been saying I should not. I decided God had been on my side and had come to vindicate me.”

Zimbabwe claims credit for inspiring our authorities response to the credit crunch.....

Mugabe and Brown should have a 'face-off' to see who is the best at :-

A) Claiming that everything positive was/is their idea

C) Blaming everyone else for everything negative

Currently Mugabe is ahead on points, but Broonie is gaining ground fast !!!!!!

Yes, but Robert Mugabe managed to bring Zimbabwe to its knees during the boom years ...

He's ahead of the curve that one, isn't he.........

It's easy for me and others to jest but I really feel sorry for Zimbabweans.

Mrs Generali worked for a Zim family in London. 'Ma ended up losing everything in Zim and Mrs Generali lost her job as a result of 'Ma's bitterness.

I'm very interested in the politics between the Aboriginals and later settlers of Terra Australis. Clearly the Aboriginal people were here first but it's also clear who has the Whip Hand.
