Yesterday I noted Peter Oborne's chilling article about a young woman called Memory, in Zimbabwe.  Memory had her buttocks repeatedly thrashed by wooden poles - all because she is a supporter of the opposition to Robert Mugabe.

I was speaking to Peter about his undercover journalism yesterday evening and he has emailed me two photographs of Memory's savagely beaten body.  The Daily Mail - quite understandably for a family newspaper - didn't want to publish the photographs but I reproduce them below as one powerful proof of the horror that Mugabe is presiding over in Zimbabwe.  They are gruesome so please do not press "Continue reading..." if you are disturbed by bloody images.

If you missed Peter's article - which describes a process of "electoral genocide" - link

The photo's really are gruesome so be warned, but the link within the quote above does not contain the picures and is worth reading.

Oh dear God. I'm just speechless.
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

Spread my work ethic, not my wealth.

Forget change, bring back common sense.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Jesus Christ. May God relieve some of this woman's pain. As for the savages that did this, f*cking pigs.
