she thought desmond tutu was a cretin, she felt they had replaced white tyranny with a black clipped— kle ptocra cy. a black clipped prissy, but —— kleptocracy. when you consider what she was up against, how dangerous a role she decided to willingly take on, it was something that i think we have to commend her for when you look at the balance of human life. nobody is perfect. churchill, who is revered in this country, is certainly not perfect. let's move on to the china daily on their front page, not surprisingly china imposing tariffs on imports from the us. we knew they would retaliate. what do you make of how far they have gone or haven't gone? they have not gone nearly as far as they could have done. we are looking at 3 billion imports. it could have been far more because they trade in colossal amounts. it is a warning to president trump that you think trade deals are easy. we can sustain far more pain than you can and we will be morejudicious next time more pain than you can and we will be more judicious next time around. we will hit your base. the soya bean farmers who voted fo

desmond tutu, nobel laureate, has just said that she is a defining symbol of the struggle against apartheidprisonment of her husband, the harassment of her family by security forces and banishment. the greatest defiance was inspirational to me and generations of activists. i'm wondering if that outside south africa we don't really understand. yes, and her name, and had been sung about her, she was one of the main icons, a figurehead of the anti—apartheid struggle, and somehow her name became very tarnished, but i think within south africa, amongst at least one section of the population, she will always remain as their real anti—apartheid heroine. for others outside south africa and on the african continent, i think they understood a bit more than people in the west about how difficult her life was, how she would have been affected by that. she couldn't be perfect, given that she was living under such imperfect circumstances. even today, people referring to her as mama winnie, mother of the nation, and still felt by many south africans. very much so. by many south africans. very much so. whe
