Hi All,
first off before we start RIP Mr Mandela, at the risk of seeming controversial and no offence meant, but why is this still headline news ? Mr Mandela has passed now please can we move on till his funeral, it really stinks of hypocrisy all this out pouring of grief from those who allegedly new him. The three idiot heads of state who rather selfishly took a selfy was very disrespectful in my opinion and if they where true friends they would have done it away from the cameras ?
I would also like to point out that the stadium was not as full as they where bragging about so where are all the loyal supporters ? let alone his opposition heads speaking through gritted teeth so to speak while a so called sign language speaker making a mockery of the whole event, it just seemed that everybody decided all of a sudden he was their best friend and he was a true hero, sure he did a lot of good when released from prison but don’t forget the trouble he was involved in, although not personally taking lives giving the orders allegedly.
I like so many others remember Mr Mandela as a man of our time and nothing but good ever being shown or reported in the papers, I also being ignorant until very recently about his past and the troubles in S.Africa but I can see the positive side that his release and his attitude to forgiveness as infectious as it was to all was a turning point but you have to ask though, if he had a lasting effect why are there so many indigenous Black S.Africans still living in poverty ridden shanty towns without the basic needs of life ?

Hi All,
It doesn’t matter if they are illegals or asylum seekers, isn’t it more that we are just full up and 9/10 are purely on their way here for the economic benefits that their own governments just don’t give them ? This and past governments in recent times have opened their arms with a big smile on their faces when in actual fact all they can see are voters flooding in.
Until we put up a sign saying closed for business the flood will grow and grow, there are already three major city’s in the U.K. that have a white British born minority one is London, another Leicester and I could be wrong but possibly Sheffield the third. I have no problem with immigrants that want to work and have an input, but the ones who are a majority who just want to rape what they can get then send the money home, then when they have enough they leave ready for the next lot these are the problems I have, it’s the same with asylum seekers you have for instance two sets of seekers one set say if they go back they will be discriminated etc.etc. by the other and visa versa why these people cannot solve their own problems by staying in their own country is beyond me.
It seems that it is far easier to flee sit and wait till their particular set gets in power then return only for those who where there to now replace them over
here ? is it really easier to let other country’s intervene and sort out each groups problems than rather trying themselves and have we created this problem by intervening in the past on to ,any occasions by trying to force western style democracy on basically what are tribal based country’s ?
The latest Eastern block country that is having problems is the Ukraine all I can see is more immigrants who want entry to here, of course they want into the E.U. that will entitle them to come here as with other economic migrants because again their state does not hand out like the U.K. once again not all will but the vast majority will see this country as a pot of gold for nothing.
I would also add that before you berate me for my opinion (Like noses everybody has one) I am not against total immigration just say they should stop immediately, have a rethink and base immigration on the previous years figures of emigration from the U.K. then let the equivalent amount in the following year and so on.
