He was a decent man who did some terrible things. Why must he be presented as some sort of saint? The chap is entitled to some honesty.

Though, just out of interest, what sort of terrible things did he do?
We're talking about the Rugby World Cup, arent we?

In South Africa we were introduced to this little black fella with grey hair. "Who's that?" I asked Kenny Sansom. "It's Nelson Mandela, Merse. He's one of the most famous people in the world." :hehe:

He was head of the resistance wing of the ANC, and was classed as a terrorist by the US until 2008 when he was 90.

Founding Umkhonto we Sizwe is a bit of a clue as well.
Worst of all, he was a communist.

only reaffermed my point that Mandela is a hero of the wealthy and champagne socialists with concienses whereas Biko a bloke who really suffered for his beliefs gets no mentions at all.

It's hardly unsurprising that the focus post Mandela's death was on, shock horror, Nelson Mandela.
Everything you say on this issue exposes yourself as a bit more of an idiot, I'd really recommend you stop now before you enter the realm of full on halfwittery.

It's a shame people dont celebrate more free market capitalists, maybe the specials should do a song about Milton Friedman
