IAN Smith. In hushed tones our Bible Class leader discussed with us the UDI of Ian Smith (here), declaring Rhodesia free og the empire, enforced self-rule, and heaven knows what else.Old LTC the Bible teacher was obviously deeply troubled. He could not combine, I think, the two thoughts of somoene not-thinking Whitehall was benevolent, and at the same time being a good economic thing, and also entrenching racism.
He was setting before us an ethical dilemma. I recognise this as being, possibly, the first time I relaised politics might matter.
