if Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe attends.
Full Story
About fucking time!
This guy has led Zimbabwe to ruin and yet countries around the world still welcome him with open arms.
Once one of the most successful countries in Africa is a basket case now, thanks to Robert Mugabe.
Nice to see Gordon Brown have some principles.

I imagine it will make absolutely no difference to Mugabe and his goons, but it's still important to send out the right signals. Kind of like David Cameron saying he's going to give married couples twenty quid a month or whatever.
Three cheers for the dour Scot :grump:
He's only been in the job a few months. Give him a chance.
Mugabe is a cunt, didn't they give Zimbabwe some top job in the UN lately too?
What is this, primary school for underachievers? Get him out the fuck!
He could be missing out on a great chance to strike deals with the many other nations in Africa whilst other European countries that do attend take up those opportunities.

This is NOT a social event
This is NOT a UK and zimbabwe ONLY event
Africa and it's problems are a lot more important then whether of not one man attends or not - have you spent much time in Africa? Have you had to wait until after midnight when people have gone to sleep to turn on the taps because there's not enough water pressure during the day because of poor infrastructure? Or seen people begging on the streets who don't even have hands?
I have ... I still have relatives living there.
No one is telling Brown to go shake his hand or even talk to him but to ignore all the other countries in Africa by not going at all is selfish.
By the same reasoning you've just made about Hitler, etc leaders from other countries could say they won't attend meetings where the USA or UK are present - as they object to their role in Iraq and the parts they've played in people dying there - which some estimate include over 600,000 deaths and and estimated 2 million people losing their homes.

If Brown has any backbone why isn't he sending in the troops to zimbabwe?
What exactly is he doing that's showing backbone - threatening to NOT do something ..
We should just send in the SAS to shoot Mugabe. Cunt.
