  1. He was taking his lead from them, but that was around 50 years ago and to ignore what he has done since walking free from Robin Island is just plain daft. Too many small minded folk on here.

    If you can take off the rabid green tinted specs and actually read my first post you will see that I have NOT ignored what he did since leaving Robin Island but I guess when you are slavering away at the defence of a convicted terrorist it must be pretty hard to. Step away from the pube-encrusted keyboard you no doubt

  2. I couldnt care less whether we do this or not. The reality is that Mandela was one of the men of the last century, he led the South African nation to genuine democracy. Yes, he used the gun to fight for this early in his life, but lets not forget such a violent approach was just following on from the brutality of colonial Britain and its treatment of Afrikans families during and after the Boer War. Mandela is to be rightly recognised as one of the true greats of our modern time.

    So by adopting the tactics of his oppressors is he not as bad as them?

  3. In Later life he took great steps in ending apartheid and was instrumental in the raising of awareness of HIV/AIDS and helping those in great need, but was complicit in the murder of hundreds with the ANC. He was thrust forward as a figurehead at his behest, but the fact the mainstream media are so quick to gloss over his past leads to the general public leaping on the bandwagon that he is some sort of saint, when he is far from it, which pisses me off. I just believe a bit of parity in the reporting of facts would be nice. Overall, I think he has done just about enough to be square with the house in his death. Some interesting facts about him in the link below:
