One way or another, the whites are growing the food and the blacks consuming it. Why is it so bad for that to happen near by?
The best thing that could happen to Zimbabwe is if the Brits said "Sorry, old chaps, but this independence thing seems to have worked out rather badly for nearly everyone; so in the best interests of this Godforsaken country, we are here to re-colonize you.
Since there is not enough food to go around this winter, we must take strong affirmative action to bring the population back within the carrying capacity of the land. Some forced relocation will be unavoidable, but since we Brits are such reasonable-minded fellows, every effort will be made to ensure that this is done fairly.
Accordingly, Mugabe and his cohorts will be rounded up, packed in shipping containers and sent to Sudan to be sold to the Arab slave traders that operate in that region. Any profits from this enterprise will go to buy seed and fertilizer for the next planting season, which we trust will be better than this year's."
I think you ought to rephrase that and quickly. Not just because you are talking to a British man, but also there are some Milwall supporters who would probably like a word.

You'll get no argument from me on this point.

I'd prefer it if Mugabe and his crew WERE the fertiliser.

What the Brits did was bring in medicine and stop all the tribal massacres, not to mention organizing heroic farming efforts (food). The black population then boomed, and there's over 11,500,000 million of black Zims now. That's a lot of them to starve to death once they finish kicking the white farmers out. They've gone from a prosperous country into beggar status, and nobody's shot Mugabe. He's getting away with it, and it's black Zims that will greatly suffer the most. This whole thing has become a Marxist madhouse.

Well, Ivan, in the interest of civility towards a comrade in interest, I retract that flippant statement, which was admittedly a "cheap shot".
BSAP to the FORE !!
I suspect the Left would not see what they have wrought as a 'failure'. In fact I believe what is happening is what they intended all along.
And its what they intend for us.
Well as long as they're in the neighborhood why not. It's not like the world is going to miss this twobit tinhorn punk
Safe in their homes. Secure in the knowledge that no one is going to come and kill/rape/steal everything they ever worked for, that's where.
Oh and I'm sure many of them FEEL real bad about what's happening in Zimbabwe now. Of course they know it's all our fault.
Hey, FReepers! I have a fiver on the SAS! Anyone want a piece of this action? I'm offering 5-1! Uh, 10-1! Guys? Helloooo...[Sound of a mournful wind across a lonely prairie]
