UK Politician Griffin Brands Mandela “Old Terrorist”
By Correspondent
British National Party head Nick Griffin has made a nasty and vicious attack on ailing former South African President Nelson Mandela branding him an “old terrorist”.
However, concerned British public reacted and branded Griffin a “small-minded, odious, irrelevant little man”.
Griffin’s twitter sparked outrage with a series of tweets branding Nelson Mandela a “murdering old terrorist”. The far-right politician also mocked the 94-year-old former South African president’s lung condition.
He wrote: “Saint #nelsonmandela on last legs it seems. Make sure to avoid BBC when the murdering old terrorist croaks. It’ll be nauseating.

“No surprise #Mandela’s lungs are shot – all those burning tyres. Smoking necklaces very bad for the health.”
The far-right politician also mocked the 94-year-old former South African president’s lung condition.
He wrote: “Saint #nelsonmandela on last legs it seems. Make sure to avoid BBC when the murdering old terrorist croaks. It’ll be nauseating.
“‘Statesmen’ must be judged on results not rhetoric. Before Mandela, South Africa was safe economic powerhouse. Now crime ridden basket case.
“No surprise #Mandela’s lungs are shot – all those burning tyres. Smoking necklaces very bad for the health.”
Mandela’s family gathered at his bedside on Saturday night after he was taken to hospital with a serious lung infection.
He is suffering from a recurrence of the condition which has put him in hospital three times since December .
Mandela served 27 years of a life sentence in prisons including the infamous Robben Island for sabotage and conspiracy against the oppressive South African Apartheid regime.
He was released in 1990 and was elected president of South Africa four years later in the country’s first free and fair elections.
Many people took to Twitter to criticise Griffin’s comments.
Peter Hain, the South Africa-raised former Labour minister and hardline anti-Apartheid campaigner, tweeted that it was a “nasty vicious attack”.
Ruth Rosenau, a Labour councillor in Stoke-on-Trent, tweeted: “#Mandela – a towering figure in world history & an inspiration to millions. Nick Griffin – what will you be remembered for?”
Bob Woods, who tweeted from BrummyTaff, said: “#NickGriffin Insults #Mandela & shows what a small minded odious irrelevant little man he is. Not fit to tie his laces.”
The South African presidency released a statement on Saturday morning expressing concern for Madiba, who was rushed to a Pretoria hospital overnight because of a recurring lung infection. In the statement, presidency spokesperson Mac Maharaj said that Mandela’s condition was “serious but stable”.
It was not long before heads of state, politicians and political parties around the world shared their concerns and well wishes for Madiba with the Twitterverse.

Griffin is a racist arse-hole. It is unbelievable that any right thinking man could support the unjust and criminal apartheid regime. Just goes to show how shallow and lacking in morality this Griffin is.
I ask all Africans to ensure that Griffin should never step a foot on any African soil as insulting Madiba is insulting all of us.
Madiba made it possible for all races to co-exist in the aftermath of apartheid or there would have been the worst civil war this earth has ever seen.
Griffin, may God teach you some humanity you dirt minded little f00l.

Who are the terrorists? Those who leave their country of birth to go and exterminate the natives of another land or those who fight against such decimation? We know all racists never wanted us black people to rule ourselves. This ideot, Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan should never have lived.
“Before Mandela, South Africa was safe economic powerhouse” He conveniently forgets that this powerhouse was for his fellow whites who exploited black slavery. Griffin how on earth do you manage to shiit with your mouth?

Most racists feel threatened when the race they oppressed shows signs of emancipating itself from mental slavery. Griffin’s white ancestors came to Africa, brainwashed us with their bible so we can assume an inferiority complex. They became very happy to see us worshipping their heroes and idols because they destroyed all ours. They made sure we didnt think outside their bible. Now When they see us worshipping our own heroes like Mandela they label him a terrorist. They are scared that when we recalim our pride we will fight their religion, their cultural invasion and their economic exploitation
