They signed an agreement today. It’s called The Salisbury Agreement and it marks the beginning of the movement to majority rule, but it’s okay because it safeguards a lot of things Mr Smith wants. And what Mum and Dad want too.
The Rhodesian Front says it means the war will end, but then the Rhodesian Action Party says Smith’s a dithering sell out and that we should intensify the fighting and win the war on our military strength. Moira reckons the RAP is more right wing than right wing and that Ian Sandeman makes Hitler look like a Communist. I wouldn’t support them, if I could vote.
I only want things to get better. Dad now has to pay an extra ten percent tax to help pay for the fighting and Mum moans every shopping day that her groceries are costing more and more. The thing is, the two of them keep telling us everything’s going to be okay.
