Nelson Mandela dead at 95
- Thread starter JLM
- Start date
But Gingrich shot back with a statement Saturday, challenging his critics to ask themselves what they would have done in Mandela's shoes.
Walked like Gandhi.
The British, American and Danish leaders certainly enjoyed their day out at Mandela's memorial service at the 95,000 capacity FNB Stadium in Soweto, a suburb of Johannesburg (the stadium hosted the 2010 Football World Cup Final between Spain and the Netherlands and was known as Soccer City during the tournament). They posed for a selfie together - and have been criticised as a result.
Also present at the ceremony was one of Mandela's Commie chums - Raul Castro.
For reasons not quite known, the stadium was only two-thirds full for the ceremony.
Fitting setting: A general view of the arena which was the location of Mr Mandela's first speech in Johannesburg after he was released from prison in 1990
Deputy PM Nick Clegg also attended the ceremony along with three former Prime Ministers of Britain (Major, Blair and Brown)
Dignitaries: Sir John Major and Tony Blair were two of the former British Prime Ministers to attend in honour of Mandela
Support: Former British PM Gordon Brown, who paid tribute to Mandela in the Commons yesterday, with his wife Sarah and former US president George W. Bush
BBC took 120 crew to cover Mandela memorial - despite receiving 1,000 complaints about 'excessive' coverage of his death
Good use of resources? The number of staff the BBC sent to South Africa was far greater than its rivals, including ITV which reportedly despatched just nine crew to cover proceedings

My wife knows a bit about sign language and she told me it was phoney gibberish earlier today.

I love how some say the left are a nastier lot. Its a case of the right would
starve people to death when their policies are enacted and when those
starving complain they are branded as malcontents
The truth is the right decided to use ideology and religion to polarize the
political agenda and for a short time it worked. Now the left has found ways
to be more successful at it and rightie don't like it.
Sucks when you get beaten at your own game eh
Well I don't like either side using division to control an agenda. There are some
great lines coming though in the name calling. Some great comedy.
