| 11:18 PM, I can assure you I would never sneer at Zimbabwe but it makes me very sad. Each time I have rerentud the pot holes have got bigger whilst the power cuts longer. The country's people starve and some four million of us have left to seek work elsewhere. Many of whom now send hard currency money back to support families.Zimbabwe may well be on the road to recovery, indeed, let us hope so, but it has taken thirty years of misery, beatings, starvation, loss of life, galloping inflation and a denial of democracy to get there. It is only since some restoration of the democratic process and the power sharing agreement with the MDC that change has started to happen.What Zimbabwe does illustrate is that totalitarian governance can never work yet there are commentators to this blog who seem to be obsessed with the idea of government control of house prices.Gordon Brown was a control freak, he claimed 'no more boom and bust' yet during his tenure as Chancellor, property prices in parts of the UK trebled.If he could not control prices what kind of government could? |
