**I don't mean people on here, I mean in general/on social media

Personally speaking, people can say anything bad about whoever they want to, especially if the person in question has put themselves under public scrutiny.

However again with Mandela, it's very easy for those people that you're on about to call him a terrorist when they're not being treated like a piece of **** in their own country, and democracy wasn't really available to Mandela at the time.

Its alot more complicated than just handing them back I am afraid, they should be ashamed of themselves for this simplification, no one wants war to break out again, its an issue that needs careful handling

I’m mortified, they must have been sinking into oblivion to come out with such blatant self promotion

So what is real democracy? It's not an absolute, it's a matter of opinion

Excuse me, the most Northerly part of Ireland is in the Republic of Ireland

Just a pet peeve of mine why people call it "Southern Ireland" I live in southern Ireland because I'm in Cork but Donegal is very much in the North and Dublin East etc

No one in Ireland calls the Republic of Ireland "Southern Ireland " its just not accurate

The result of the tory crime and police bill, that I warned you about.

Was the one whose sign also said "Fuck Imperialism" ? As I think having written swearwords constitutes a "breach of peace", at least in Scotland.

I’m torn between options 2 and 3, there’s a lot of people who are more than entitled to not mourn someone that’s been so catastrophic to their life, and really I don’t think I (or anyone really) have a right to dictate to someone of that background how to react to the death of that person.

(So really I should’ve picked option 2, but I can see points for them both, but not in the first imo, they have a right to feel that way)
