This is my photo taken of Nelson #Mandela at a Make Poverty History rally in Trafalgar Square back in 2005. And more importantly, here are the words of Pauline Kiernan, so I hope that she doesn’t object to my repeating them here as I think it’s important that they reach as many people as possible. Under the circumstances…
Thought for the day from Pauline Kiernan:
“Mandela will die soon. Today, tomorrow, this week, next week. It won’t be long. Remember this: he outlived Thatcher. When Cameron latches onto the Mandela bandwagon, remember that in 1985 he was a top member of the Federation of Conservative Students, who produced the ‘Hang Mandela’ posters. In 1989, Cameron worked in the Tory Policy Unit at Central Office and went on an anti-sanctions fact-finding mission to South Africa with a pro-Apartheid lobby firm that was sponsored by Botha. Remember this when he tells the world that he was inspired by Mandela.”
