Stop the world, but Mandela is ill, again, and BBC instantly go into full panic. I dread to think what their coverage will be like should this ancient communist loving terrorist commander pop his clogs.
THAT MANDELA MOMENT
Bookmark the permalink.
I see Prince Phillip is ill again and BBC instantly go into full panic. I dread to think what their coverage will be like should this ancient racist nazi pop his clogs.
Meanwhile, Oscar Wilde returns from the grave and graces us with his sparkling wit.
“dread to think what their coverage will be”?
well Chris lets hope it can make the main news page,
because the poor old DofE can t get on there at the minute.
I think the royal correspondent has tried, but he can t get through to BBC HQ at the moment, as they re all holding hands on the candlelit Mandela vigil.
will we get blubbering hysterics?, as they all try to “outgrieve” each other?
I think you are getting confused Christopher, Prince Philip was in the Royal Navy fighting Nazi’s so I thought that would make him an anti Nazi. (Of course he isn’t as Anti Nazi as you are, braving the blogosphere to tackle Nazism wherever you find it)
Prince Philip had to leave his private school in Germany because every time the other pupils and the teachers did the Nazi salute, Philip would laugh hysterically. Hardly the sign of a committed Nazi.
Since when are facts relevant on this site?
Clearly never when your around
Aren’t they a social construct for you bourgeois leftists ?
That was clever how did you do that Christopher/Tyler/arse?
Since when are facts relevant for boring lefties?
Prince Phillip fought in the war for this country, had steadfastly supported the Queen and her Governments and has represented British people. Definately a fascist for whom no platform should be allowed for him to air his waaycist views
Christopher I thought this might bring a little light into your benighted world From no less than your own holy scripture

This is a truly disgraceful and ignorant comment about a war veteran and a man who has served this country for many decades and is still doing so into his 90s.
Luckily Prince Philip is not a convicted terrorist married to “necklace” wielding murderer of young boys and in direct contrast to the gentleman in South Africa.
Don’t be too hard on the lad. Sadly he knows no better – just like all the other kids who have been brainwashed by our socialist education system.
Christopher, I must confess I am puzzled by your description of Prince Phillip as a Nazi. I never really thought of him as a socialist, but perhaps you know better.
Good thing for you beeboid lot that Thatcher and Mandela didn’t die on the same day.
just imagine the tension in Broadcasting House about how to lead the news if Prince Philip and Mandela die at the same time
Oh you know what they’ll do. They’ll lead with Nelson Mandela over Prince Philip and will then issue one of their insincere apologies knowing that it won’t change what they did.
Black trumps white (even Greeks).
Don’t forget that we also have Castro on the edge. Black will trump white so Mandela would be top story but would a white Cuban communist trump a white Greek royal?
Picture of a typical Anti Fascist/Nazi Oh the irony
It’s good to know the UAF, on our behalf, are still fighting Adolf, Benito and General Tojo.
Do they not realise all that ended in a Berlin Bunker in April 1945, or are they just a bit slow on the uptake ?
Most of them seem to be ‘media studies’ students – does that answer your question?
P.S.Back ANL days it was all sociology students
Similar to the salute Breivik used in court. Need one say more?
When Mandela dies the out pouring of BBC grief will surpass even the death of Yasser Arafat.
It’ll be a Princess Di, ‘Queen of Hearts, Hugo Chavez, Bobby Sands, all rolled into one, gushfest.
A pukefest for ordinary BBC victims ( I mean audience) who will reach for the off switch in their millions.
Seems like the NM hysteria has already started, the contest to grieve the hardest, feel the most regret, praise the modern day saint the loudest is clearly going to be very competitive – Ding Dong
15 minutes out of the first half-hour on BBC 5 Dead 7 p.m. ‘news’ was devoted to such insights as ‘South Africans are coming to terms with the fact that the ‘father of the nation’ won’t be around for ever’ and that ‘Madiba is 94 years old’. It takes £4,000,000,000 of our money to come up with ‘news’ like that.
i read somewhere that madiba means `shite floats` in swahili
Wonder whether they’ll mention that if it hadn’t been for Margaret Thatcher, Nelson Mandela would have been executed as a terrorist many years ago?
(Not holding my breath)
Poor old BBc every time the terrorist(err sorry freedom fighter) goes into hospital it dilutes the shock horror aspect. Still bracing myself for a week of mourning. Unlike people being brutally butchered on the streets where the story seems to have dropped from the headlines.
Will Nelson make up his mind one way or the other?
This continual teasing of the Lefty bleeding hearts is grand isn`t it?
94 year old not well…hardly news is it?
The man colluded with and visited Mrs Thatcher-that ought to leave the poor bloke out of any BBC tributes, I`d have thought?
And are the BBC pushing the services of Dignitas at the moment…those coffin chasers normally get a few minutes on the Today show, whenever someone needs to die for the BBC schedules, and they continue to bungee jump in and out of the coffin, as Mandy is doing!
It really is incomprehensible why the BBC still thinks, as of 10pm on Saturday, that the health of Nelson Mandela is the most important story in the world.
sorry, but this media obsession with prince philip and nelson mandela is boring me to tears,as for these far left student uaf clowns making there confused nazi/stalinist salutes at these demos,they also bore me to tears.
I agree, it is over the top and thus boring.
As Nelson Mandela might have sung, “Kill the Bore! Kill the Bore!”
[No offence intended to the Severn Bore, there’s no fluvophobia on this site!]
but you have to admit, it is very annoying when the bbc in the middle of a serious interview with a guest have a newsflash everynow and again saying that the queen is suffering from the flu or has hurt her big toe and cant carry out her dutys on that day,sorry bcc,that is what i call going over the top.as for david vance,he is the only man in the media that makes the left look like a bunch of buck idiots and gives stephen nolan a good rucking when he trys to get to cute.
BBC still telling us Mandela is ill in hospital/
We KNEW that,
We’ve known it for days! – the BBC has had it as a main headline non-stop. It would be impossible not to know it already.
There has been no change announced in his condition – so WHERE IS THE NEWS ?
If we think this is OTT, wait until Gerry Adams reacts badly to his flu jab, or Martin McGuinness has a hip replacement op.
The BBC will demand ten minutes silence( as much as it wanted for Alistair Milne) and a vigil with a candle that the Dalia Lama once sat on, being used.
F888 the BBC!
Party at my house when the Black terrorist dies.
If Prince Philip needs no other reason to get up out of his sick bed, just to spite the BBC: I reckon he only ought to look at yesterdays morning news on the BBC about the “dear old Queen” being greeted by the likes of Spoony and Trevor Nelson, Huw and Fatty Patten.
Utterly unctuous and cringing bilge; as a sack of republican grease guns trailed about after here whooping and hollering, with mobiles to hand. After the way that the BBC covered her Jubilee last year, she must have had a pretty pungent nosegay under her nostrils to stomach the oily creeps “celebrating” Her Maj…as well as a considerable upgrade to inhabit Goebbels Domed Mausoleum, at our expense sine die.
Philip really ought to have done his Muslim “Head of T”Household” bit and banned the little woman from having to meet the Marxist jackals and smarm merchants alone. He knows all about the BBC, and his chilling piece with Fiona Bruce put the Beeboid in her wicca coffin once and for all.
Get up and out there Phil, me old son…the BBC are taking the piss as ever!
Just imagine the lefty response when Mandela does eventually pop his clogs. The BBC will be wearing black armbands en masse, Ken Livingstone will give a gut wrenching eulogy and try to get another statue erected, and that old groaner Billy Bragg will produce an anthem in HIS memory.
Get well soon, Nellie…
“Strewth, what broederbond nutjob put that up on the net?”
That pesky internet again! Sorry, but not everyone shares your admiration.
(Another Nick Griffin reference on its way.)
“Stop the world, but Mandela is ill, again, and BBC instantly go into full panic. I dread to think what their coverage will be like should this ancient communist loving terrorist commander pop his clogs.” – David Vance, BBBC
“Saint #nelsonmandela on last legs it seems. Make sure to avoid BBC when the murdering old terrorist croaks. It’ll be nauseating.” – Nick Griffin, BNP Leader

(Funny The Daily Mail quotes George R misses)
Oh the outrage! Nick Griffin has described Mandela as a ‘murdering old tyrant’. The thing is Griffin has to have his facts right or he’ll be back in court again, and even telling the truth is no defence, don’t people know that even reality is racist?
The comments and the highest rated tell another story however, and many go on to make the point of how Mandela and Zuma have destroyed the ‘African Powerhouse’ economy which once was South Africa. Zimbabwe here we come!

But he is old. Is it ageist or racist or both to say he is old?
By the logic of the collection of nut-job keyboard warriors around here, Count von Stauffenberg and Rommel were both “terrorists” and “communists” because they broke the law of the land at the current time.
I suggest, after you’ve showered, you take a long look at your convictions and how you choose to express them. I don’t expect a positive response (or that you’ll leave your keyboards to shower)
Natasha, some excellent points, but if you’re thinking about a positive response, maybe you can make your comments in a slightly more constructive way?
However you express yourself though, it appears GCooper will call your comments “nasty”.
One Rommel fought for the Nazi government not against his later anger at his leaders was brought about after they left his army to rot in the desert !
Stauffenberg was also a servant who broke with his Nazi bosses but not because he was trying to save the Jews or the oppressed he was out to save his own country and military not the millions being tortured and killed by his party !
By what stretch of a tortured post-colonial guilt-stricken imagination is Nelson Mandela “one of the worlds Great Statesmen” (sic)? A great figurehead, perhaps. An icon for the liberal Left, undoubtedly. A secular saint for the BBC, indeed. But a “Great Statesman” (caps noted)? Not in a month of Sundays.
And that nasty little smear about Nick Griffin is unworthy of even the trolls here. If Griffin correctly identified today as Monday, should we all chant ‘No it;s not! It’s Tuesday’ for being contaminated by agreement?
.
As I recall, Griffin was the first to speak out about Muslim grooming.
This was followed by Ann Cryer and, much later, the police and the MSM. Does this mean that Ann Cryer, the police and the MSM are Nazis?
I’ve responded to Hippiepooter’s nasty little comment but the insane threading system has shunted it up the page.
would have been nice if the bBC had been as concerned about the ordinary people who had been the subject of the Staffordshire death-camp as they are about Mandela.
Not dead yet. But the bBBC is preparing us for their hagiography.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-22870977
Mr Mandela will not live forever.
When he dies the world’s media will try to capture the reactions of people here and around the world, and, in retelling his extraordinary life story, try to do justice to the memory of the man.
I suspect we shall all fail to live up to the magnitude of the moment.
But we will try our best.
Get your sick-bag ready.
