Mandela the F*cken Ledgend

Funny
how all the press corps around the world are calling for Mandela to 'speak out' over the crisis in Zimbabwe. Its like we want to be vindicated by the wise old man's statements. We want to feel good and righteous, we want to feel that we are on the correct side of the argument.
I'm sitting here reading the Evening standard - a shitty daily, that consistently berates the labor government at every opportunity, whilst sucking Boris Johnsons willy so hard it makes young kids cry. The editorial is calling for Mandela to speak out again, (he has already!)against the Mugabe regime..... at his 90th Birthday celebration tomorrow at Hyde Park.

It makes me laugh, the same spreads were condemning the man for his views on the Iraq war just before the invasion. Mandela said Bush was drunk on power, and literally called them both up to speak some sense into the situation. Yes, look it up it happened, 'cept Bush wouldn't take his call cause his is a spoilt brat Texas millionaire. A yes man who like to surrond himself with people who agree with him..
These same news papers were calling Mandela senile, old, past it ect. You make me sick. So lets get this rite, just because Mandela happens to agree with you on this Mugabe thing you now want him, a 90 year old fucken hero, a man who has spent his adult life advocating reconciliation and enduring a life of torment, to denounce Mugabe at his birthday party.

Why?
What exactly would it achieve. Would it rally up the Military in Zim, and cause them to rise up against Mugabe, or will it give them further reason to think of a great western conspiracy? I don't know, but I'll tell you this, as with all complicated situations there is no silver bullet, there is no 'shock and awe' that will remedy the situation.

Mandela is 90.
let him be, let him have some time off, let him enjoy the few years he has left.
stop being a doos
