Many visitors to this site will recall Labour’s vocal support for South Africa’s black population and of their enthusiasm for sanctions against Ian Smith’s white government in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe.

However, now that the boot is on the other foot and it is Zimbabwe’s remaining whites that are discriminated against - nay persecuted - the silence from the Labour regime in Britain speaks volumes.

Can it really be that Labour’s opposition to white Rhodesia was not so much based on a principled stand against “racism” but merely a manifestation of their anti-white bigotry?

The following piece, from a BBC report, is interesting for a number of reasons - not least the absence of a peep of protest over the treatment of white farmers, most of whom have British roots, by anyone in the Labour regime.

We quote: Ahead of the court ruling, Mr Mugabe called on the black population to ensure white farmers did not regain seized land, reports say. He said black Zimbabweans could not afford to “retreat in the battle for land”, the Herald newspaper said. Several of Zimbabwe’s few remaining white-owned farms were invaded over the weekend, farmers say, raising fears of renewed violence ahead of a possible run-off in the presidential election.

In an article published on Monday, the state-run Herald newspaper quoted Mr Mugabe as saying Zimbabwe’s black population had to protect from white farmers the land for which thousands died during the independence war in the 1970s. ”Land must remain in our hands. The land is ours, it must not be allowed to slip back into the hands of whites,” he is quoted as saying. ”We cannot afford to retreat in the battle for land.



In 2000, there were 4,000 white farmers working on much of the best land in Zimbabwe. Just 300 now remain after a campaign of often violent land seizures initiated by the government’s land resettlement programme.

On Friday, war veterans’ leader Jabulani Sibanda accused white farmers of reoccupying farms allocated to blacks, and of telling other black farmers to leave or else face the wrath of an “incoming MDC government”. Those white people trespassing on the small-scale and medium-scale farms should know that it is an invasion of our country,” Mr Sibanda told reporters.

“We will defend our sovereignty. We will be compelled to repel that invasion.” The war veterans association was instrumental in the invasion of white-owned farms ahead of parliamentary elections in 2000. This turned many rural parts of the country into no-go areas for the opposition.

Labour - hypocrites to a man!
