Oh, I don’t think it was you CD, it was the Linc/Chas show which provoked the comment!!:D

I reluctantly remove my ‘reactionary doublethink of the counter-revolutionary warmongers!!!’ post…

…it wasn’t aimed at anybody in particular; I just thought that the thread had reached the stage where people were simply hurling insults about and I wanted to join in!

I’m very sorry and it won’t happen again.

This thread started so well, a few pages back I was tempted to post “How nice to see sensible discussion of disparate views”

I’m glad I didn’t, as it now seems to have descended into schoolyard bickering.

Please gentlemen, take a look at what has been posted and reflect on whether this is really how you wish to appear.

Well I would mark them, Linc, if you could show me any reason for your wild assertions.

Mark my words Chas, there will be a fighting frenzy, and God help the White S.Africans.

But nationalisation has been on the cards for years. It was formally rejected by the ANC lead government just over a year ago and two subsequent reports have clearly shown how unviable it would be. There is a minority group still fighting for it but the odds seem stacked well against them. I cannot see what has changed or what is likely to change in the forseeable future. Of course nothing can ever be ruled out but there seems to be little evidence to support the proposition.

Either the Head of State or the Head of Government but why are we paying for Dreggs, Millipede, Blair, Major and Brown??

I wouldn’t go if they paid me, same as I wouldn’t go to Hitlers, and the rest of those of such ilk.

Why now more than for the past few years?

I just have a feeling that they will now want the Gold, Silver, Diamond, Copper mines et al back from the White SAs. You just wait and see.

I hope all our lot going over there have filled in their expenses forms ok,i would hate to think of them going without over Christmas.

If they are that keen, they should pay all their Xes out of their OWN pockets, bet that would sort the Wheat out from the Chaff.

And clockwork radio:D. Seriously though, I can forsee a lot of trouble in SA in the near future.

Including the BBC. I overheard the supercilious tones of Humphrys on Mrs CH’s radio this morning so we’ve shelled out for him and his team to have a jolly there for a few days. Are the BBC’s reporters and correspondents in Africa incapable of telling the studio here what is happening?
