Mandela tribute farce

The tribute to Nelson Mandela quickly descended into farce ? not content with Cameron, Kinnock and Obama taking a selfie, we now learn that the sign language signer was nothing of the sort and his arm waving meant absolutely nothing.
Irrespective of your feelings about Mandela, surely he deserved a bit of dignity...

Cameron shouldn't have been invited after the way he treated Mandela in the 80's. Two faced PRICK !

I was surprised at the similarities between Nelson Mandela?s tribute and Thatcher?s funeral.
All those people singing and dancing at Nelson Mandela?s tribute.
That was just like Thatcher?s funeral all over again.

For chuffs sake get him in the ground before I ask for a refund of my licence fee. At this rate Ian Brady will get a memorial service and tribute shows.

"At this rate Ian Brady will get a memorial service and tribute shows."
After they gave Thatcher a state funeral I suppose anything is possible.

BBC sent THREE TIMES as many staff to cover Mandela death than all rival British broadcasters combined
