Kids march to thank Mandela
South London Press

NELSON Mandela's visit to London yesterday gave youngsters campaigning for a new school the chance to thank him for his support.

Kids from Christchurch, Sudbourne, Glenbrook and St Jude's primary schools marched on Trafalgar Square to hear Mr Mandela address the crowds about ending world poverty and present him with letters, paintings and poems.

As part of their call for a £25million secondary school to be built, the kids also carried a banner saying "Secondary schools. Invest in Brixton kids now". <snip>

1. Good thing they weren't marching here
They'd probably get tasered or tear gased at the very least.

2. Good call
I also just wanted to say that I really, really love Nelson Mandela. He always restores my faith in humanity.

4. Cheney would have them locked up for supporting that "terrorist"
LOVED when Edwards pointed out during the debate that Cheney had voted to keep Mandela in jail.
