Your Mandela thing is shameful and stupid.

Rikkor, I wish I could 'like' this, or star it.
A well written piece, but wrong.
I see what the intention of it was, but it just came across as churlish, nasty and horrible, even if that wasn't the intention.

What happened? That actually went on the front page? What for, correct spelling? Putting it on the front page is a crass error of judgement, and we need to be assured that this kind of thing can't happen again. Has the personal responsible done the decent thing? Left the building? Been shown the revolving door and asked to experience 180 degrees of it? As for the writer, look pal, its single saving grace is it is incoherent. Go away and come back with a new name and pretend to be a newbie.
Apologies for coming late to this.

I've been away. Anything happened while I've been gone?

It's not just about Mandella
You were warned something like this would happen.

I didn't think it was that bad, maybe not a front page. Compared to the Thatcher stuff it was in fairly good taste. Its strange the reaction to Mandela's death in South Africa has been the same as it was here in many ex pit villages when Lady Thatcher died, lots of singing and dancing in the streets.

The newsthump one is racist.
I thought the story was making the point that unpleasant 'acts of god' seem to hit the most vulnerable (- in this case Africans) hardest. That good people and innocents die all the time, which makes believing in a 'just deity' very hard for some people.
Or did I miss something?

I quite agree with nickb's assessment of my piece. It is, of course, quite wrong to write articles that try and satirise the deceased, particularly when they refer to Nelson Mandela.
Isn't that right?
