Obviously, it's different when we're talking about somebody wanting to help me with publicizing my book or somebody coming on your podcast, but the same principles apply. Don't fall at the first hurdle by sending something that you haven't properly researched or haven't properly thought through. If in doubt, just put yourself in that other person's shoes for a bit.

It sort of comes back to targeting, really, and a bit of thinking on your feet. But the biggest lesson about that is what you can pull out of the bag when you're panicking, really. So, the brief background there. I had many years of engagement and dealings with Zimbabwe, which is a beautiful country full of amazing people.

It's a great tragedy that its leadership has let it down so badly over the past decades. And I've traveled back and to and from there for many, many years. One particular time I went there in 2008 was after a really seriously unpleasant election period during which a lot of people had lost their lives.

The opposition candidate Morgan Changro pulled out because he felt that the threat to his supporters was too great. And then Mugabe had gone on to win by 99% or something. Oh yeah, some very believable margin. We know the play ball. It was a febrile atmosphere and one thing that the then President Mugabe had done was whip out very anti-British sentiment.

He blamed Britain for everything as the former colonialists, we were responsible for his disastrous economic policies, we were responsible for hyperinflation, we were responsible for the state of the road, you name it. Und ich bin dort bald nach der Wahl gefahren, um einen Freund von mir zu sehen, der eine sehr jüngere Figur in der Partei von Mugabe war.

Er war in einer Universität nahe, wo ich geboren bin. Und wir haben uns wirklich getroffen. Und ich bin ihn gesehen. Eigentlich nur Verhältnismäntelung. Ich war nicht danach oder so. Er war auf dem Hauptflur des ZANU-PF-Bildes, welches basiert, und ich bin nicht verrückt, auf einer Straße namens Rotten Row, der ZANU-PF-Headquarters.
