Agreed, an inspirational human being, whose fight for justice made this world a better place.



?Let bygones be bygones. Let what has happened pass,? he said upon release, rejecting any suggestions of violent revenge. ?Take your knives and your guns and throw them into the sea,? he told his followers.

RIP Nelson Mandela.


What a privilege to have lived when this great man lived.


I hope his legacy can continue in all of us.


Hope Not Hate have opened a book of condolence which will be open for five days and then be delivered to the South African Embassy. What does Nelson Mandela mean to you? http://action.hopenothate.org.uk/mandela-tribute

Mother Teresa doesn't belong on this list. Very misguided person. RIP Mandella though.


I came face to face with NM once. I had a boyfriend who lived in Muswell Hill. I was on my way to my BF's house and I saw Nelson Mandella walking from a house to a car. I stood and stared and eventually said hello and he smiled and got in the car. It was an extraordinary moment. You don't expect to come across a legend in a London suburb. I told my boyfriend and he said, oh yeah, there's an ANC guy with a house in my street.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
