"Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace. I believe I have made that effort and that is, therefore, why I will sleep for the eternity."Nelson Mandela

Hello avid readers of mine,
Mandela did nothing to change the world.
Whatever lessons he supposedly taught the west they certainly did not get heard he in the UK.
No freedom of speech, security cameras monitoring everything we do, google monitoring everything we browse, overseas faceless bureaucrats no one voted for making decisions for us, government bullying of the poor and disabled by a cabinet full of smirking posh pounces politicians, its endless.
We live in a regime worse than most African bongo bongo apartheid dictatorships.

He may not have changed the world but he but he brought about the end of apartheid in South Africa for which his fellow countrymen will be for ever grateful.

Amazingly for once I agree with you.
I have omitted your final comment, the derogatory reference to third world countries is another insight into your bigoted mind.
Kind regards

I understand what you're saying Graham, but it's not bigotry if the "stereotype" is true.
Part of free speech is having to put up with comments you don't like.
I speak my mind and I never mind what I speak.
Even thou I don't like the batty ideas you lot peddle on this blog.
I would defend your right to say or print what you believe.

Paul you could have got your message across in a more sensitive way without causing offence.
"We live in a regime worse than most African apartheid dictatorships."
There you go still getting the message across and would be considered fair comment given the state of our country.

Graham old boy,
Was it the use of he words bongo bongo that you objected to. I have visited Africa numerous times and the first thing that strikes you when you get off the plane is the heat and humidity. Followed by the sound of some busker playing the bongo drums as you leave he airport.
However a pensioner like yourself Graham who probably only goes on coach trips to Bournemouth for your holidays is not going to know this.
However I accept bongo bongo may be taken the wrong way by some. Usually the less educated and travelled.

Given your sexist remarks on other posts what do you think?

Now who’s being presumptuous sunshine! I don’t do coach trips and even if I did Bournemouth would not be on my itinerary. If I was heading down south my preferred destination would be Cornwall it’s a long drive but well worth it. Unfortunately due to financial circumstances holidays are too much of burden on the budget these days.

You may have had a better education and portray yourself as far more intelligent than us, but in reality you come across as an attention seeking pretentious boor with absolutely no knowledge of diabetes.
Admittedly I've never been to Africa, but I have travelled extensively through Europe, I recall my first holiday abroad in 1964 the flight from Gatwick was in an old DC6 and we landed in Perpignan en route to Spain. Two years later I and a mate who raced motor bikes drove all the way to Brno in the Czech Republic for a major international meeting, we did many other trips to Europe but that was by far the longest drive.
I think it’s time to call time on these rather pointless discussions, unless your comments are focused on the subject of diabetes, diet and treatment they will be deleted.
Do have a Happy Christmas
Kind regards
Graham
