    I’ve made this point before; there is a current in Toryism that has a bizarre obsession with southern Africa. For Guido, especially, this is as they say no accident. But I remember people blurging about “ZaNuLabour” right back to 1999. Boris Johnson claimed in print that Stephen Byers’ renationalisation of Railtrack was as bad as Robert Mugabe.

      And it’s a kind hysterical hyperbole that they don’t permit others to use. That ‘ZaNuLabour’ thing is adolescent but anybody tries comparing the Tories to some unsavoury regime and it’s very clear they can dish it but not take it.

    I suspect however that this is more to do with the absolute horror of property owners that anybody might interfere, however mildly, with the right of property ownership (and disposal etc). You don’t have to go very far right before people start assuming that liberty is not only indivisible from the right to property but actually derives from it in the first place. It can sometimes be hard to distinguish the hysteria from the ideology.
