ah the good old Zulu's.................
How I do like to remember the Zulu's and their exploits....
Because in knowing some of their history I can be reminded that the Marxist infested contemporary left are a complete and utter bunch of lying, immoral, hypocrites who are not interested ultimately in 'equality' but in power... and the only thing they know to do with that power is destroy humanities achievements bringing in poverty and failure.....
Why would I say such a thing? Because the recounting of a battle won by the British nearly 140 years ago is 'celebrating colonialism' and racist on one hand....
But then we have the British armies adversaries, The Zulu's , whose most famous leader was
Shaka (he was of course long dead by the time of the battle of Rourke's Drift).
With the Zulu's being (not so well) remembered for their vicious warmongering and expansionist drive (launched under Shaka) through the south of the African continent which is known as the
Mfecane 'The Crushing'
'The Zulu practice was to absorb only the women and young men of a clan or village. They killed the elderly and men of fighting age; the lucky ones escaped.'
It was of course this expansionistic, bloodthirsty warmongering that bought the Zulu's into conflict with another, at the time, colonialist force, The British Empire, around the time of the Battle of Rourke's drift .
Fast forward to today and we have the wonderful 'Rainbow nation' that is South Africa complete with legitimised open state racism against whites and we find a fairly recently re dedicated airport named in honour of the bloodthirsty murdering tyrant that was Shaka....
King Shaka International Airport so dedicated in 2010...........
An internet search for 'controversy king shaka zulu airport' on a popular internet search engine brings up a front page filled with stories concerned not with whether it was a good idea, in modern times, to name an international airport after a murdering, expansionistic warlord but instead a page filled with articles about
how people were annoyed that a recently erected statue to said murdering tyrant didn't show him armed to the teeth with the very weapons used by his troops to kill what may have been
1 - 2 million of their fellow 'black' Africans
Of course the good old BBC described Shaka rather euphemistically as being a 'Warrior King' where as they describe a white man (who was arguably far less destructive in his time), Cecil Rhodes as being an
'imperialist'
On the subject of tube notice boards.... I do think they should keep the information strictly limited to that required for the customers to go about their travels with the least disruption ....
