I'm still angry at them for running off yesterday when I fell down Mrs Streicher's steps. But that's exactly what the English are like. They always run away. Dad says it's the Afrikaners that will have to keep this country safe when trouble comes. The English will all emigrate in droves, and run off to America and England because half of them have foreign passports. After the Anglo-Boer war, all the English soldiers left South Africa without even thinking about the thousands of women and children they had murdered in the concentration camps. Poor Ouma Kimberley was born in the concentration camps. Dad says it's typical of the British to criticise Hitler, when they themselves were actually the ones who started putting people into camps. Once, when we were driving past Rhodes Memorial, Dad said Cecil John Rhodes had been an imperialist who stripped our country of gold and diamonds. And when he died after ruining our country, he had his ashes strewn in Rhodesia rather than in this country he had milked dry.
