But I have observed him today in the House of Commons and I am sure that he intends to do as much as he can to 'stand up for Zimbabwe' in the forthcoming run-off election. He is, for example, committed to helping discussions which are under way in ensuring that observers from a host of other countries, besides African ones, will be present on June 27th. The Carribean countries and Canada are two that come to mind. He concluded by saying, "we are determined to push for that process (i.e. the election) to be free and fair". If it should prove not 'free and fair' I think you can be sure he will not leave it at that.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('227065','True Grit'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('227065','True Grit','By all accounts the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown is not very popular at the moment with his own electorate.

He is, for example, committed to helping discussions which are under way in ensuring that observers from a host of other countries, besides African ones, will be present on June 27th.

If it should prove not ‘free and fair’ I think you can be sure he will not leave it at that.

I am planning a spot on a BBC regional radio show, broadcast on Saturday evening between 9pm and 1am along all the Eastern and S.Eastern counties and online, called the Richard Spendlove Show. A vote for freedom and democracy to resolve the governance crisis will be a vote for as close to paradise as the people of Zimbabwe will ever get, compared to now being in a state of ruin and decay. There will be reservoirs built in abundance where thousands of acres of savannahs will be transformed into fertile plains full of large scale intensive farms. There will be an endless succession of market gardens, tended by loving farmers, sprouting rice, bananas, aubergines, cabbages...You can't imagine anything more lovely. Truly something to say a prayer for.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('226184','True Grit'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('226184','True Grit','This is a great idea.

Truly something to say a prayer for.
