Stop the cricket tour to Zimbabwe

It is time that all sane progressive individuals supported the campaign to stop the England cricket team from touring Zimbabwe. We cannot mix sport and politics, however, Mugabe is insisting on turning this into a political victory for him, and as he now patron of the Zimbabwe Cricket Board, then clearly the game HAS been politicised.
The country openly discriminates against white cricket players and sacked the previous captain. We have had blacks foisted into our team with no experience merely because Uncle Bob is a racist chip-on-his-shoulder Marxist terrorist, who has killed more of our blacks than the apartheid govt did in South Africa. Our blacks have to endure horrendous conditions in schools that have been destroyed by Mugapes "War Vets", and queue up for hours for petrol, bread, even basic supplies. Our farms have been stolen and wrecked by mindless incompetants who are now just starving as well. In fact, some of the most productive farms in Africa that fed our people as well as other African nations, have been simply destroyed and laid to waste. How can such an evil and murderous tyrant be allowed to grandstand on the world stage? The presence of the England cricket team is sickening, they should not come to Zimbabwe and pretend everything is normal when it is not.
The land that is rightfully ours has been stolen and many of us have lost nearly everything. Our servants and workers are beaten up by communist thugs working for ZANU-PF. I should know as before I left, 3 of my cars were burned in an attack by thugs, the farm was taken from me, the house wrecked, my maid, gardener, and several labourers beaten, my swimming pool was destroyed, the ignorant black thugs drove me out despite my family feeding them, clothing them, etc, for years. My personal jet was also blown up by the hoardes, which had cost many millions and provided vital transport for a rural farm.
As a result I have lost 75% of my properties and assets and my family have been traumatised. We have had to move to the UK where it is wet and cold and have been unable to take our servants with us who the children miss dearly. How dare England come to Zimbabwe in this mess!
