Nice to see how merrily Africans are investing in each other. Respect to the Congo. They could have asked an ANC expert to advise but clearly didn't.<br /><br />The trashed Marxist run agriculture needs experts. Now the white farmers are needed. Bet that in 30 years the will be targets of envy yet again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-72842965230001133902009-10-27T14:22:54.280-07:002009-10-27T14:22:54.280-07:00Sarah, in another related article in the papers to...Sarah, in another related article in the papers today. There was a report that has been censored before publication. Apparently a well known research company did a study on the effects of immigration on crime. Do you know what they found? You, don't need to even guess. However the paragraphs that alluded to these facts have been blacked out. Scuse the pun :-)<br /><br /> Here's the link:<br />http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23761212-blairs-think-tank-airbrushed-link-between-crime-and-immigrants.doAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
