Downing Street twitters on Zimbabwe pictures

The people running the 10 Downing Street Twitter feed have replied to Sokwanele, the Twitter feed of the 'This is Zimbabwe' blog to emphasise the government's position on Zimbabwe.

Sokwanele is a pro-democracy movement in Zimbabwe. Recently they have been posting photos of violence perpetrated against MDC supporters on their blog.
