Over at Craig Murray’s place I posted a modest little comment on his piece about Eugene Terreblanche:

Craig,

As you know, I was posted at the British Embassy in South Africa as apartheid ended. I attended a rally of Terreblanche’s AWB movement once.

The worrying thing about Terreblanche’s murder is that it seems to echo an insidious ‘Kill the Boer’ Africanist nationalist ethnic cleansing of the sort Mugabe has led in Zimbabwe, an achievement of sorts for African Pay-Back Time but at a cost which will leave most Zimbabweans unnecessarily impoverished for decades more to come.

If that is the sort of fate which faces South Africa too down the road as the generation of township youngsters schooled in ANC/Communist 1980s ultra-violence work their way up the country’s demographic pyramid, prospects for the southern part of the continent are bleak indeed.

And lo!, Craig graciously replies:

Charles,

And an excellent job you did too, much though I hate to admit it!!!!

So far so unexceptionable.

Then along comes Roger Irrelevant, thinly disguised as a certain anno:

English aristocrats also did a good job of negotiating with Hitler not to invade the UK. Well done, Sir. When you pass GO, please don’t forget to pick up £200.00.

Maybe one day by pure chance I’ll be walking down the street and someone seemingly normal brushes past.

It is anno.

But alas I’ll never know.
