Me in Salisbury, Rhodesia, 1964.

Another time, another era. Amazing to think of all that has transpired since this picture was taken of me in 1964 in our garden in Salisbury, the capital of the British colony of Southern Rhodesia, as it was then.  Even Rhodesia's UDI was only the next year....

Dear Mr Kemp,
I went to Southern Rhodesia in 1960intending to marry and live there. However, as much as I liked the wonderful people (Oh yes, I do mean the lovely, friendly white people), I really could not see a long future for the country - so I came back to England.
I worked on the Rhodesia Railways in Bulawayo.
I am still a member of the BNP although I was very upset for our country's sake, over all the ructions.
I have no real idea what it was all about, but cannot see that setting lots of new parties is of any help.
I am an old man now and can do very little to help our poor country.

Dear Mr Baggett (14 Jan). Thanks for the memories, and yes, you were right, there was no long term future for any white minority ruling over a majority of black people. Quite apart from the fact that this is the 21st Century and would be immoral (no people should be subject to rule and domination by others), it was also obviously unpractical and could never be maintained over the long term.

Hi Carl (3 Feb). Things OK, thanks, and with you?

Dear Mark (9 Feb). The Future of America? I think its pretty inevitable: the major cities will end up looking like Los Angeles (sprawling, decaying versions of Mexico) and whites will be reduced to a tiny minority much quicker than they expect. Geographic separation provides the only potential for survival.
