    Dead legends are much more effective than living legends. Alive there's always the risk that he'll do or say something stupid.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

      look like its time

      Nelson Mandela is in 'vegetative state and warring family were advised to turn off life support EIGHT DAYS ago' | Mail Online

      Doctors advised Nelson Mandela's family that his life support should be turned off because he was in a 'permanent vegetative state', court documents reveal.

      The revelation from members of the former president's family came as part of a family dispute over the graves of three of his children.

      Court documents from June 26 said: 'He is in a permanent vegetative state and is assisted in breathing by a life support machine.

      'The Mandela family have been advised by the medical practitioners that his life support machine should be switched off.

      'Rather than prolonging his suffering, the Mandela family is exploring this option as a very real probability.'

                When he's fully recovered I think they should send him on a plane to visit Obama in the White House, to mock him for trying to visit South Africa in time for Mandela's funeral..

                      Suspect they meant the loss of dignity rather than physical suffering.
