Zimbabwe elections

In his letter (Daily Star, 05/04/05) concerning the recent triumph of Mr. Robert Mugabe in the Zimbabwe parliamentary election, Dr Rashiduzzaman Khan displays powers of observation denied to even the most acute viewers of elections.

Even though the numbers simply do not add up in many of the constituencies (more persons voting for Zanu (PF) than actually registered as voting etc), Dr Khan saw nothing untoward in the fact that most people were afraid to venture out to record a vote for the opposition.

This is wonderful, because a number of British and I have a problem with the upcoming election in the UK. We do not want Tony Blair to win. Another five years of political correctness, and socialist generosity with other people's money will see all of us British immigrating to Bangladesh, and you do not want that, do you?

So, Dr Khan, put on your best set of myopic specs (preferably the dark ones), and come to observe the elections in the modern cradle of democracy.

I will put out the word that anyone found voting for Tony and his miserable lot will be hit over the head with a bag of fish and chips. Then use your powers of acuity to record that everything was fair and well as good as elections in Zimbabwe. This will ensure my favourite party, the 'League of Empire Loyalists' gets into power.

An offshoot of Zanu (PF), they do not recognise the independence of the United States, for example.

Just one slight problem, they do not recognise the independence of Bangladesh either. But I am sure that a generous soul such as Mr. Mugabe will look after you. Just do not say the wrong thing.
