  This is both tragic and hilarious at the same time. Utter and total trash. Whatever are Buckingham Palace officials up to when they give the King’s approval to this tripe and allow his cameo to be printed on these products? Rating:- 0.

🇿🇼 Zim Post (postal service of Zimbabwe) -

14 August 2023 - “Commemoration of the life of Comrade Robert Gabriel Mugabe President of the Republic of Zimbabwe” (deposed former tyrant) - 4 stamps. Lithographed. Rating:- *****. Fascinating that this monster, with his Hitler-style moustache, should be commemorated by Zim Post and a reflection of the current political situation in Zimbabwe under Mugabe’s former henchman, Mnangagwa, who may be worse than Mugabe himself. A historic issue.
