Bob wants Zim poll to be 'anti-Blair'
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe on Friday told hundreds of young supporters of his ruling party that the parliamentary elections due next year would be a "fight" against British Prime Minister Tony Blair, state television reported.

"We are fighting Blair. It is an anti-Blair election and we must win it and demonstrate to him that Zimbabwe shall never be a colony," Mugabe told a conference in Harare of the youth wing of his Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF).

Zimbabwe was a British colony between 1923 and 1980.

"They (Britain) have been making threats against us," Mugabe said to applause.
"Let them come. We have said, sure, some people will die. But they can never conquer us. Never."

Mugabe saying this can only help Blair as Mugabe is hardly the sort of person that the majority of anti-Blair people would want to be associated with.
