cliffwalker Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Look North, a local 30 min news program devoted twenty of them to the story, totally unexceptable.This morning i bought the only paper without him on the front cover now we have the funeral to look forward to,great. Do you mean unacceptable or unexceptionable? They have almost opposite meanings. ---------- Post added 10-12-2013 at 21:06 ---------- They were saying what an impact he made on his visits,no mention he was a convicted terrorist,wonder if he would have got the same coverage had he been a white South African. He was convicted of "conspiracy to overthrow the state" after the ANC party (and the Communist party of SA) was declared illegal. For most of its existence up until the South African National Party came to power in 1948, it followed peaceful policies. The increasingly oppressive apartheid laws and violent suppression by the SA security forces provoked the violent response from the ANC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Do you have to watch the BBC all the time, with so many alternative channels to choose from? But if you want UK news and you have Freeview, you're very limited in what you can get. I feel the BBC neglected UK news in favour of Mandela.

LeMaquis Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Way over the top in the coverage of a convicted terrorist.... Weren't you in the BNP, a party founded by John Tyndall who had a conviction for paramilitary organising? Funny that. ---------- Post added 15-12-2013 at 20:52 ---------- Wonder if it will be the start a new religion. He's hoping the thousand complaints will start a thousand years religion.
