THE inclusive Government is not just gaining the support and confidence of Zimbabweans; it has now started attracting support in the international community and even from those countries that led the sanctions charge.
Britain this week very quietly announced, during a meeting between British Ambassador Mr Andrew Pocock and Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara, that the United Kingdom would no longer vote against funding for Zimbabwe at the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation.

In a recent column, the Washington Post’s Richard Cohen wrote, “What Henry Luce called ‘the American Century’ is over.” Cohen is right.

Britain’s crushing debt burden
By Associate Editor David Stevenson May 01, 2009

Alistair Darling tried to magic it away with some fantasy growth projections. But a future Budget will have to get serious about Britain’s debt, says David Stevenson.
How bad are the numbers?
Awful. At £90bn, public-sector borrowing for the year to 5 April 2009 hit its highest since the early 1990s. Yet for this year, the Chancellor has pencilled in a deficit of nearly double that – £175bn. “It’s difficult to put into words the extent of the meltdown in the UK’s public finances,” says The Daily Telegraph’s Liam Halligan. “During his 2008 budget, Alistair Darling said the UK would borrow a total of £70bn during 2009/2110 and 2010/2011. Today we learnt that £348bn of new debts will be racked-up on our behalf over that period.” The future looks no brighter. Even on official figures, the public purse will have to borrow more than £700bn from gilt market investors between now and 2013/2014, a rise of more than 60% on Darling’s estimates in last November’s Pre-Budget Report.
