APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA: Nelson Mandela & The Redemption of David Cameron
Mandela on my mind.

In the 1985 South Africa was red-hot and violence in the black townships was escalating in defiance of the apartheid system then under the regime of PW Botha. In Britain, the ruling Conservative Party was sympathetic to the apartheid state on the lame "grounds" of it being a check on "Soviet backed radicals" it's label for the ANC and related groups.

There've been some negative comments on social media about cameron's past but i dont really hold it against him. For the reasons that 1. he admitted it was wrong and 2. the world was very different back then. Once you were branded a soviet collaborator that was it, the whole of NATO would do anything to squash you. It was the orientation back then.
