Mandela statue joins ranks of Britain's heroes

Don't tell me you spent all weekend searching for these quotes? I wonder what dirt I could dig up on your illustrious leader?

Some very interesting quotes......

So, if the UK had been taken by Germany in WW2, it'd be terrorism, or whatever, for the Brits to have fought back? No. Winnie's speech may seem outrageous, but then you weren't ever at the sharp end of Apartheid - a sick regime, focussed on Winnie & her people, in HER country!

Also, Nelson Mandela's "I love Cuba" thing: hilarious of you to pick on that! The worst atrocities ever committed on that island are all in Guantanamo Bay... by the U.S., and by dint of association, the U.K. Time for a rethink, you jackbooted loon.

The US has a democratic process that holds individuals who commit atrocities to account, cuba does not. Unless you want to argue that the killing by Hitler of 6 million jews was no worse than a couple of detainees dying in custody at a UK police station

Tell that to those detained without trial in Guantanamo.

[King Cnvt]

They're not detained, they are "guests" of the United States.

That's what Saddam used to say when he held hostages anyway.

You forgot to mention it's democratic election process as well.

Particularly in Florida.
