Mugabe finds rare Scottish friend

A Scottish parliamentary candidate has defended President Robert Mugabe’s land reform policy and has blasted a documentary film about the plight of a Zimbabwean white farming family as being “for white people to support white people”. According to the Scottish Sunday Herald, Christian Allard, a Frenchman who is in line to become a Scottish Nationalist Party Member of Scottish Parliament, savaged the documentary about the plight of Michael Campbell entitled Mugabe and the White African, saying:”I agree the comments from the dictator are often vile, but so are the comments of Mike Campbell … Let me be clear, they are men from the past who refuse to accept that Africa is moving on….Robert Mugabe and Mike Campbell won’t be there for long and every copy of this ‘documentary’ should be buried with them.”
