"Peter Hain MP. I have not insulted him. I have no quarrel with President Mugabe personally. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s I demonstrated for an end to the Ian Smith white regime. I was delighted when President Mugabe won the elections in 1980. What I have done is to speak up when it has been necessary to do so. Zimbabwe is potentially one of the strongest African economies. Instead, it has been reduced to crisis by economic mismanagement and bad governance. Britain wants to assist Zimbabwe. But we cannot do so when there is a refusal to enter into dialogue. Instead of accepting the hand of friendship, the Zimbabwean government has sought to demonise Britain and provoke an unnecessary quarrel. It has been necessary to speak out against certain incidents and against the violence that has occurred in Zimbabwe. As an old friend of Zimbabwe, we cannot turn our backs on Zimbabwe and let these events happen without comment."
