so tell us all just what products are being imported from that country, where the white farmers were driven off the land for political gain, leaving absolutely no food production, the economy is in tatters, the systems are failing..... and the chinese have rights to all of the mineral resourses...........
Yeah Africas ****ed, Robert Mugabe is a really dangerous man and people here moan about Gordon Brown!
how the feck do I know what all the goods are (what is your problem?).
Just looking round the supermarket today fruit n veg mainly. Just don't want a peeny of my cash going there while he's still alive n has some sort of crap politicle bullies running the place.
my problem is that we read the food labels, but you see, the problem is that if the stuff gets shipped in bulk to anywhere else in the world, & it gets something done to it, even packaged, and it gets new labelling you will never know where its original source is......but I imagine that nothing gets exported from there at the momentQuote:

Tbh I dont give a flying fcuk where my food/stuff comes from, aslong as its cheap :D It could be stolen from the mouths of children outside of the UK for all I care lol
stuart, once that rugrat gets off the knocker, your missus will make damned sure that you know just what ethical source the stuff has to come from..
my missus is quite religious & keeps going on about fairtrade non exploited stuff, we had a row in asda when I tried to explain that silver spoon sugar was made near newark, & no-one was exploited.....
take it u lost the argument then

i forsee this...
afghanistan, iraq, zimbabwe.....
but in all fairness, it is a good reason to invade.
there won't be an invasion for 2 reasons, they haven't upset america & most of the population are black & not those crazy A-rabsQuote:

corrupt is not the same as incompetent
I find it hard to understand how he can be allowed to get away with it. Isnt there some legislation or something that will allow us to intervene?
there is no oil there, so why get upset about it?Quote:

No, really, walk into any supermarket and find me ONE product that came from Zimbabwe. There's no people being killed for farms any more as they are no farms left!Quote:

Re: RazorJack's comment:
Zimbabwe used to be the most productive of African countries, now however its mainly subsistance farming, by people just trying to survive.
Yup, my comment about finding produce from there was present tense. Tis a shame, as you say previously they were a relatively productive and rich countryQuote:

Now if only I could buy t-shirts made in the UK I'd be happy, my sofa was but everything sle is chaina. Bought some glasses today that were made in England which was nice.
Blame consumerism. Most people will just buy whatever is cheapest, regardless of origin.
Call me naive but huh?Quote:
