If you doubt the corrosive effect of simplistic ‘anti-imperialist’ rhetoric read this,
“Angola will do everything in its power to help the Zimbabwe police force and will not allow western imperialism to take over Zimbabwe”
And if you doubt the corrosive effect of appeasing racism at home read this,
When Tendayi Goneso fled Zimbabwe fearing death at the hands of Robert Mugabe's brutal henchmen, he thought Britain would offer him sanctuary from the violence tearing his country apart.
He grieved alone when his wife was murdered by the regime, and has endured four years apart from his three children.
In exile the 34-year-old accountant, who is recovering from lung cancer, has become a leading campaigner for democracy and the overthrow of Mr Mugabe.
But as the political situation in Zimbabwe has spiralled toward chaos, the British government has withdrawn his benefits and left him with the threat of deportation hanging over his head.
