LabourList readers have been reacting to Tory MEP Roger Helmer’s response to Glenis Willmott’s post on Europe yesterday.
Roger said:
“We believe that government intervention in pricing in consumer markets is always a bad thing. It is what Robert Mugabe does in Southern Rhodesia — and then wonders why there is no bread on the shelves”.
Is this a joke or does Roger really still refer to Zimbabwe in outdated colonial language?
