Yes - in contrast to the wimpish and hypocritical response of Blair to the Mugabe tyranny. To think that Labour won votes back in 1997 claiming that it would pursue what it called an "ethical foreign policy". Which, in reality, meant arresting General Pinochet (the Labour left hating him because he helped the UK in the Falklands dispute) but trading and holding friendly meetings with the communist regime which runs China (and which has been criticised around the world for human rights abuses).
