Why can you lads never even do the most basic of research?
Fuckin bunch of Una Mullalys
I wasn’t around in the mid 70s pal, was he outspoken as president?
Viva la Quince Brigida
the lefty headbangers are out in force today spewing their warped version of reality
Will the lefties be out to herald Mugabe as a hero when he kicks the bucket as well?
That seems to be the standard they’ve set themselves in the last 72 hours.
what your man in North Korea, he built a few hospitals, he must be alright
Sir Robert Mugabe? The lad that was knighted by your beloved queen?
Ouch
This is very embarrassing for Mark Malone and for you posting this.

Following it up with this boastful line makes it even sweeter
Which was rescinded in 2008.
A lot changed between 1994 and 2008.
Some people could maybe grow up from thinking they are Student Union politics crusaders with their anti Americanism and realise that Franco was a vile dictator.

In 1994, Mugabe’s international standing was a far cry from 2008 - after all it was forum hero Mandela who said “He was the star and then the sun came up.” Mandela clearly disapproved of Mugabe’s behaviour as the years went by but never explicitly came out against him until it was too late, which was highly disappointing. At least the Brits rescinded their honour for him.
