Cecil Rhodes’ body should be exhumed and sent back to Britain
15th December 2010
The bones of Cecil John Rhodes, the founder of Rhodesia, should be immediately exhumed and sent back to Britain as it is an affront to postcolonial sensibilities, according to a Zimbabwean politician.
Since the ‘postcolonial sensibilities’ displayed in modern Zimbabwe appear to consist of robbery, murder, and totalitarian oppression — much like pre-cololonial Zimbabwe — I imagine that Rhodes wouldn’t mind escaping the country as so many of his fellow Persons of European Ethnicity have done.
