Are Dictators Stupid?

It would appear that Robert Mugabe has fallen for a scam where a mystic claims he can get diesel out of rock. The story is here in The Times.

So he proves my title for a start.

This is one of my favourite books. The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy gives the full details on how the Nazis ran their economy. It shows them to be cruel, but also amazingly stupid.

|Yes I think they are, not just a big international style either, the little local ones who are department heads and leaders of local political groups etc. Power hungry and very very stupid, they always fall flat on their face in the end

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
