Nelson Mandela and RTEs death watch

my friend

Breaking news:

Nelson Mandela coughed 8 minutes ago

...

NM farted last night

....

NM had cornflakes for breakfast


.....

Must be angling for a Primetime from JBurg

Downright weird listening to Michael Murphy leading our National news with such as... 'Nelson Mandela has just passed a solid stool'

You think someone should have let him sit on it?

In your opinion, I've been waiting for that solid stool for days man.

They do tend to orgasm a bit when somebody like that dies.

I am sick and tired of listening about that clown, what did he do for his people ?. No one would have known about him only for his wife Winnie, she fought all her life for him, spent years in house arrest, degraded by the press, but fought gallantly for her people, then deserted by that selfish clown.

El Guapo!

To be fair, Neldon Mandela has been trolling the world for years now.
Every few weeks he goes into hospital and is "at deaths door".
Then he's back out again fit as a fiddle.

Hmmmm I am thinking someone should google that angel Winnie.

Winnie Mandela was no fricking saint, make no mistake about that and her extremism is only one of the reasons he got rid of her. I've no interest in Mandela tbh. It's ironic to see Jacob Zuma taking every opportunity to plonk himself next to Mandela for photo ops. A dictator expoliting a freedom fighter, yet nothing gets mentioned about that.

So the African people were oppressed by the whites now they are oppressed by black despots. Lots of progress there then:rolleyes:

She liked a bit of 'necklacing'.

Necklacing is the practice of summary execution and torture carried out by forcing a rubber tire, filled with petrol, around a victim's chest and arms, and setting it on fire. The victim may take up to 20 minutes to die, suffering severe burns in the process.

That is the legacy the clown left his people. Winnie is no saint, I agree, but what freedom fighter is, saintly freedom fighters are for comics, and the people that read them. Yet the west honors the likes of the mass murders that rule Israel today, some who bombed the $hit out of the brits before murdering thousands in Palestine. They are respected and accepted by the western world today.

Every freedom movement in the world had their own way of treating Touts and traitors. Look what they are doing to Bradley Manning, what about water boarding, the torture chambers in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo, and the secret jails in Poland and other countries run by the CIA. Get a grip, the world is not a nice colour of black and white.

For years before he became a clown, he was like a caged tiger. Winnie is a bit of an elephant. South Africa is like a Big Top tent in which the moral highground of politics has taken an acrobatic U-turn. Zuma is definitely the Ring-Master now. The whole thing is a circus isnt it. No place for a bearded lady though which is a pity cos I'd really like to include one in this paragraph.

That is an insulting comment, about people who are still struggling for their freedom, from the likes of british rule, and the dictators that followed them.

Same as the Hard on RTE have for the Kennedys.

He was brilliant in The Dark Knight Rises though.

I was big supporter of the anti-apartheid movement back in the 1980s

Still waiting for my free Nelson Mandela though!

He's 94 years old. That's a long time to be alive.

NuckingFacker

I'd say there's a few lads from the ANC who are going, ffs, mandela got banged up in the first year, us tools had to campaign against apartheid for years and years while he did laps of Robben Island, then the fecker gets let out and everyone gives him the credit for the work we did. Apart from having a funny accent, what exactly did he do?

In a past life I was a photographer and covered a lot of anti-apartheid demos. I didn't see Nels at any of them.. saw loads of other lads getting the good news from the S.A police though. I'd say they feel much the same about mandela as actual gang-bangers in the U.S feel about Biggie - in it for a week, rapped about it for years, got all the glory, all the spoils, all we got was jail time..

Mint Sauce

Dont think they are covering it much more than any other news platform.

BBC are reporting him again today.

Fr_Dougal

He was brilliant in Pulp Fiction.
