Your guess would be correct. When I told 1 of my work colleagues I was from Zimbabwe originally he replied "but you are white???"I’m going to take a wild guess as to Adrian’s ethnicity!
Actually knew a barrister you was a copper in pre-Mugabe Zimbabwe (would have been Rhodesia then) and he was a truly horrible ****. White, obviously. A real bully. Dead now. Died destitute and estranged from his children who hadn’t spoken to him for years.Your guess would be correct.

It was Rhodesia when I left but was in the process of becoming Zimbabwe as Mugabe had just been elected. My father was an engineer but my mother was a ward sister in the local black hospital. We lived on a small farm and 1 night both of our neighbours were slaughtered in their sleep. My mother always maintained that we were spared on account of her job.Actually knew a barrister you was a copper in pre-Mugabe Zimbabwe (would have been Rhodesia then) and he was a truly horrible ****.

I often wondered to myself what atrocities he would have committed back in the ‘70s.
Sounds grim, mate.It was Rhodesia when I left but was in the process of becoming Zimbabwe as Mugabe had just been elected.

My mother always maintained that we were spared on account of her job.
My dad did do national service but would never speak of what happened.
I remember being about 10 and having to go to the local rifle range to learn to fire an FN automatic as I was the only male in the household. I could barely lift the thing.
To play devils advocat..It’s quite simple.
Reform = self serving cunts
Reform voters = stupid cunts, incapable of critical thinking.
It isnt the anniversary yet …Just took a look on Farage's X profile - not one celebrationary post about the VE Day anniversary - must be a sore point because his favoured side lost .......
Shona?I’m going to take a wild guess as to Adrian’s ethnicity!

Not sure where that came from.You were very quick off the mark as I edited my post within a few seconds. Nice to see you have your finger on the pulse on something
I have no interest in your thoughts on reform. I reiterate my original comment was only to highlight the selective content of the first post bluehammer made about the reform stance on the flags.
Stands to reason that anyone in law enforcement in a regime like that is probably going to have done cunty things to people who didn’t deserve it.Your post triggered a long-dormant memory
In the 1970s my mum and dad told our family (4 kids) that we were going to have to put our uncle's family up as they were arriving from Rhodesia at short notice. We were all pissed off - the 3 bedroom council house was already cramped with our family and grandma and where they were coming from and why at such short notice never crossed my mind to ask.
Turned out that my uncle was one of the senior officers (deputy warden I think) at Salisbury Central Prison and the family had to flee Rhodesia suddenly one day - leaving everything behind.
He never mentioned anything, but later when I realised his role I also wondered just what he had seen or had been responsible for
It isnt the anniversary yet …
You really are describing the majority of the Welsh public (Labour voters) here.To play devils advocat..
What are labour/tory voters who blindly vote for red/blue regardless of policies? Some because “their dad did”?
People who are ‘into’ politics are weirdo’s full stop

Yes.Same mistake the Democrats have made in the US. Luckily for you guys, the three (now, I suppose, four) party system should keep them out of power unless they gain a lot of Labour support or the Tories collapse completely.
There you go Farage wants to take away your NHS and now your State pension by lying - the reform way
