"The president stressed we are not tents people."

So, let's sum up - the president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, starts operation "Drive Out Rubbish", wherein his government demolishes houses in the slum and dump people out in the villages to fend for themselves. Hundreds of thousands of people become homeless. The UN, a bit preoccupied with aid effort after the tsunami and the major earthquake, do offer to supply tents for the homeless. The Zimbabwe reply?

"The president stressed we are not tents people," said Mr Mugabe's spokesman George Charamba, arguing that other countries were getting more help.
"Tents just don't auger well with our culture... If the UN does not have enough money for permanent shelter let the little they have be used to augment what the government already has."


Well, gee, if they aren't tents people, maybe you should have thought about that before you bloody well destroyed their homes, you fucking idiot! Basically, the UN should rebuild what you tore down, huh Mugabe? Oh, I'm sure they'll just be ever so happy to, it's not like they have enough to do feeding the people you've made starve and suffer through misguided economic policy and more plain idiocy. Mugabe, you repulse me. You probably have a tent for a brain, given how much draft there's in there. Also, you're a Git.

Aaaaaargh. Idiots give me a headache.

Also, this fic is idiotic.

"Alright then, Rose Tyler, where do you want to go to?" smiled The Doctor.
"Oh, you just think your the best don't you!" smiled ninteen year old Rose Tyler.
"I am the best!" commented the Doctor, sulking.
"You wish!!" she replied. "The Titanic." she answered suddenly. "I want to see the royal Titanic."
The Doctor looked uncertain, however.
"Ok, we'll land the police box on land, and board the ship of dreams!!" he said, beaming away again.


Because what you really want to do when you board a ship that will famously sink (or, as the author called it, "hit the iceburg") is leave your time machine on land, oh yes. That's real smart.

God, the idiocy, it burnssssss everywhere. (Yes, I feel vaguely cranky now, how kind of you to notice.)
