Funny, I was going to flame you over the subject matter of the post, but you quite elegantly took the wind from my sails with your eloquent and succinct sub-comment.
Well done, and Godspeed!
BTW, Nelson Mandela belongs in jail to this day. So does Winnie "necklaces" Mandela.
Marxist scum is Marxist scum. No matter what the means of political posturing.
Thanks so much for actually READING the thread, quite a rare thing it seems :-)
I am sincerely curious about any debate, or lack thereof regarding the subject matter in this case. I hadn't seen any articles about this previously, although I must confess that I try to spread my newsreading focus over the whole world and so I may well have missed it.
I suppose that such a blight upon once-noble Trafalgar Square and such an insult against Lord Nelson is to be expected from a city that elects the likes of Red Ken Livingstone, but I'm just wondering if there was any particular debate about Mandela as the subject or whether it was pretty much a matter of 'royal' fiat from the Mayor's office.
My hope is that some of our British Friends who are familiar with this matter might chime in, although all posts are of course entirely welcome :-)
" Nelson Mandela belongs in jail to this day."
No! He should have been hanged years ago.
