        @BBCBreaking I'm sure Mandela was a friend of the people, but not the oppressive government that they, the Tibetans and others live under!

        @Craig_Antony That's just one of the articles I found on it. Don't complain about the news they bring us just cos it doesn't interest you.

        @markieanelson Of course it interests me its just my opinion that they should be reporting more on developing, dangerous situations.

        @BBCBreaking @BBCWorld an oppressive&communist government like Chinese is the opposite of what #NelsonMandela taught the world. #freetibet

        @BBCBreaking Being a communist terrorist, he was both a friend of China and the Soviet Union.

        @BBCBreaking So basically what you're saying from the last 35 "breaking news" posts is that Mandela is dead, yes? OK, good copy. What else?
