ply does not exist for millions on this great continent. Six million people are starving-in Zimbabwe while their ■ wicked president outra­ geously shrouds himself in a complete distortion of historical reality. ' ; : Outside my hotel, 100 Zimbabwean stooges danced and sang support for Mugabe in a patheti- . cally staged display of defiance against Britain and Prime Minister Blair. One of many posters


held aloft by the Zim­ babwean flying stooges read: “The only Zimbab­ we Blair knows is a toi­ let”. I t was sickening. One


Zimbabwean delegate, was affronted when I questioned him over the famine. “Propaganda,” he smiled at me, “it's all propaganda, look at me, am I starving?” No, he looked smart in


his pin-striped suit and displayed the form that had never knowingly missed a meal. His pres­ ence at the summit was to defy logic and com­ passion in the face of a brutal attack on his fel­ low citizens. At a conference deal­


ing with starvation, we had leaders who were personally responsible for inflicting it on their own people and, sadly, they had support from other political leaders. Was this conference


worth a light? Did the Mugabe hijacking of the conference and his pre­ posterous rabid lecturing derail what this confer­ ence was all about? Did the £35m. cost, enor­ mous security, and round-the-clock discus­ sions achieve anything other than a complete

transported a table from the town hall. . The event sparked great


local interest, reflected in the significant number of people who flocked to the venue....... - The gymnasium was trans­


formed as lights of all shapes and sizes flooded the room, causing the temperature to soar for the hundreds waiting for an expert opinion. A wide variety of items to


view included furniture, toys, paintings and porcelain. Indi­ vidual areas were marked with signs and a helpful recep­


tion pointed enthusiasts in the r ig h t direction for the items they had taken. . Miss Julia Carter, accom­


panied by her mother, was at the event with a family heir­ loom, a 19th Century Tahit­ ian weapon which found its way to Grimsby or Liverpool. I t was the fourth, said the expert, th a t he had.seen, all slightly different. The pair waited for an hour


and a half in the incredible heat for a valuation of £400. Mrs Heaps, of Clitheroe,


took a pair of ornamental horns, originally from Ger­ many. They were inherited from her husband's aunt and were normally displayed on th e mantelpiece a t home. Thought to have been from the early 19th Century, they werevalued at £45 to £100. .. She said-she was disap­ pointed by the period in


■ which they originated, but the valuation was a nice surprise. Mr and Mrs Jaques took


along a moustache cup and matching saucer. I t was a family heirloom and the pot­ tery was valued at £30.

issues are addressed, and now. I t is essential that politicians do discuss cli­ mate change, renewable energy, water supplies and sanitation. I t is of paramount importance that progress is made on these key issues, swiftly followed by action to bring about a more bal­ anced and just world. Millions starve, abject

poverty exists cheek by jowl in developing coun­ tries, the global warming threatens the very future of our planet, and politi­ cians face the most trau­ matic decisions to ensure that future generations will have a world worth • inhabiting. I will not judge this


summit by the s ta te ­ ments of politicians. Accords will be signed, policy will be determined and much will be claimed for the holding of this vital event. The same was said


about the Rio summit 10 years ago. Since then, sus tain ability of our earth has rolled back­ wards. We cannot afford another 10 years to declare Johannesburg a complete failure.
