  I will be pulling the blog and going through it to look for and correct any instances of bigotry, racism, or anything that might upset any small-minded people who insist on reading it, even if they are offended by it and post insulting language (but not fair criticism).

  Once this blog has been sanitised, it will be reposted.

  I cannot believe the arrogant racist prick you are, from "your black little boy" who you refer to as your "little mite", your ignorant thoughts make it seem as though Kenya is one big basket case of Hiv and death- that only you can save, which is of course, completely false, as there are many who are living well and there is a widening and existing middle class(i.e why we didn't go the Rwanda way.). You are feeling useless, and Africa is the only place you feel wanted, or like a king. And adding that "you do not expect to be despised by those you cannot help" is an arrogant and intentionally racist statement that you seem to imply that any African that speaks against you is i. mad at you and ii. mad "because you can't help them". Four fingers are pointing back at you no wonder your blog is not popular, I can see why anyone who chooses to wipe it off the web, or sort you out in Kisii, would be inclined to. Typical racist and typical of men your age and heritage. No, I am not surprised.

  My reply:

  Thanks Kimya. You have really opened my eyes to what a racist idiot I have been.

  I have been working my butt off to find ways of helping those who want to be helped - what a fool I have been. I have obviously been wasting my time.

  So maybe I'll save my money and not bother to help to support the two orphanages and enjoy a holiday.

  Oh, and if you want to make a donation to support these kids, let me know and I will tell you where to send it.

  I add, if you don't like me or what I am trying to achieve, that's fine. I respect your right to disagree. But why be offensive and abusive?

  Oh sod it. Why should I have to justify myself?

  I was horrified to read that President Mugabe has promised that, regardless of the outcome of the run-off election, the MDP will never rule Zimbabwe.

  It's nice to know that the old boy has such a good sense of democracy!

  But then, Mugabe's wife was overheard to say to her hubby that that, no matter what, Tsvangirai will never step foot in the State House.

  It makes the recent Kenyan presidential election look like a milk-run.

  At least someone, in the shape of Botswana, has dared raise their head above the parapet and lodged a formal complaint against Mugabe. It's about time that South Africa followed their neighbour's lead. But then, shouldn't they have been leading?

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.
