"I held talks and had lunch at Downing Street with the other main player in South African politics, Nelson Mandela. I had seen him briefly in the spring when he had been feted by the media Left, attending a concert in Wembley in his honour, but this was the first time I really got to know him. The Left were rather offended that he was prepared to see me at all. But then he, unlike them, had a shrewd view as to what kind of pressure for his release had been more successful. I found M r Mandela supremely courteous, with a genuine nobility of bearing and -- most remarkable after all he had suffered -- without any bitterness. I warmed to him" Whatever may be said of his politics after being released, he was a noble man of great stature and exactly the one needed in South Africa to transition beyond the ending of apartheid without great bloodshed. | ||

Quoting from Thatcher, Whatever may be said of his politics after being released, he was a noble man of great stature and exactly the one needed in South Africa to transition beyond the ending of apartheid without great bloodshed. Seriously, quoting Tatcher here. You're like the best troll liquid could ever dream of. | ||

You had to find a quote from Tatcher to show the value of Mandela ? Don't you think there are less controversal person to quote ? And considering it's Danglars who quoted, I was just amazed at his ability to always quote one of his favored ideological figure even in such a thread. | ||
