On this day 29 years ago, Nelson Mandela walked free from prison. Here's our Deputy Chairman, @JamesCleverly, on why Mandela is the defining politician of his generation.
@Conservatives @jpjanson @JamesCleverly When I was a student campaigning against apartheid this us the poster the FCS (federation of conservative students) thought was hilarious.
@Conservatives @JamesCleverly Never forget, Tory MP's wanted Mandela hanged.
@Conservatives @JamesCleverly Hi James, To your shame, you're ignoring your hero's most cherished wish. Why are you committing this genocide?
@Conservatives @JamesCleverly Cleverly trolling again?
@Conservatives @JamesCleverly Mandela was a socialist and the Tories wanted him to be hanged because he was the opposite of everything you lot stand for.
@Conservatives @JamesCleverly Your party treated Mandela in the same way you are treating Palestinians now. Tories aided & abetted the maintenance of apartheid for decades supplying oil and arms in a brutal repression. Disgraceful gaslighting the entire country is sick of it.
@Conservatives @JamesCleverly Is there not a cause🙏🏿🇿🇼🇬🇧🇿🇦
