They stopped the freedom flotilla as soon as he joined them too. They fear his presence and movements.

I didn't know this, thanks for the info.

Well, well, aren’t they being their usual colonial selves…

SA is a good example of why they need to continue the fight in Israel. Discrimination is law in SA

Thank goodness UK has so many decent, humane people willing to stand against genocide despite our corrupt government in Westminster.

[@lous.1548]

yes you do

[@Rob-p7f]

There is no genocide! It's HAMAS propaganda!!! Palestine dose not exist! The name was invented by Yaser Arafat! Muslims love to play the victim when not killing Christian and Jews!

Supports Palestine. We all need visas. What makes him so special. Send him to Gaza

[@tiggtiggs]

​@@marlenehunter6016 had you bothered to listen, the UK H.O told him he didn't need a visa, then changed their mind 2 days before he was due to arrive. As for "we all"...speak for yourself!

This is so sad thanks Crispin

[@rajpoot99]

Hold apartheid and gory backers accountable

[@karengrainger5545]

Thanks for covering this Crispin. You said Mandela being denied entry hit the headlines but I only saw it in the Independent. This should have been bigger news! Even the Guardian didn't cover it as far as I could tell.

Streisand effect; trying to suppress the words & power of this great man; following in his grandfather's large footsteps, on the long road to freedom; from colonialism, oppression, racism, war crimes, and apartheid; it amplifies his following

Remeber that they discriminate against citizens in SA.

[@notadoctora7956]

Is he a mass murderer?

Normal SA citizens need a visa for the UK. Unless he holds a passport for another country that is visa-waivered, then he should be treated like any other SA citizen.

[@paulevans3663]

I'd be a bit more convinced of of the meetings commitment to justice and freedom if they weren't displaying the flag of Cuba, a undemocratic single party authoritarian regime. Hypocritical pie anyone??

[@lisaglaze250]

It's touching that you still believe in 'democracy'

[@not_mybrother7705]

@@paulevans3663 you need to revise your definition of authoritarian. Look up Western Hemisphere institute for Security Cooperation. It's the school for dictators and puppet leaders in the US. And it's been there for decades and they aren't even ashamed of it.

😠 Cuba has been under severe economic pressure from the ‘heroic’ USA for seventy years. Yet it functions to serve the Cuban people well. Viva Cuba 🇨🇺!
