BBC News Mandela Coverage

Seriously.

You wanted more coverage for the UK storms than Mandela. That's called wanting the BBC to do what you want. The more you deny it, the more you actually confirm everything I've said.

Do you want a bigger shovel so you can dig yourself a deeper hole?

You see what I mean? People want to be entertained on a Friday night not bored to death we know his story! Anyway since there's nothing on now, I'm off to the pub. Night all.

No city prod not more coverage just balanced coverage. So keep your shovel.

How disrespectful. Nelson Mandela is one of the truly great men of history and to say his story isn't interesting is incredibly rude,

Considering you've just contradicted yourself, is it any wonder that I don't believe you?

*throws shovel into the hole anyway*

I meant balanced coverage, god stop taking life so seriously pal, and I'm no being disrespectful I'm being honest, we know his story we love him he was a great man but most people want entertainment not a documentary on a Friday night.

It was news, not a documentary. I don't think you need a trip down to the pub, you seem disorientated and less than cogent already.

It's a documentary about the fight for his freedom, smartarse.

Actually, I misread your post, but I suppose it still applies to tonight. It's relating to a recent news event, so it's going to be more relevant now than it will be at any other time.

Within 24 hours of his death, you are being incredibly disrespectful.

How am I being disrespectful saying there shouldn't be a documentary on a Friday night. I loved the man, I'm mixed race so I respect, know and understand what he did for the world, but there is no need for this OVERKILL.
