Show us exactly when and where he campaigned for Mandela's execution in the 1980s.

I find this post very disturbing. It appears to present fact. Those who responded to it in comments believe it to be fact.
If it is fact Dog-eared, please post verification.

I dont think he did - there is a suggestion flying around Facebook and twitter that he was a "top member" of the Federation of Conservative Students who produced posters and badges saying "Hang Nelson Mandela". He did actually go along to a South Africa on a trip paid for by a lobbying company who opposed sanctions but this is a long way from calling for them to hang Mandela. Incidentally Cameron was only 19 when this stuff was produced and as he took a gap year it seems likely he had only just started at Oxford in 1985 - this makes it highly unlikely he was a top member or even had any influence in the Federation of Conservative Students even if he was a member which is unlikely to be honest.

Judging Even David Cameron by something that he might have or might not have been involved in 30 years ago seems a bit daft to me.

I really can't believe how low some people will sink using photoshop or some other bit of software to mock up a picture and score rather tasteless political points. It really besmirches what Nelson Mandela stood for...reconciliation and forgiveness . Bravo to another political moron dragging Mandelas name into something this distasteful they bring shame on themselves and whatever political party they are aligned to.

I think you will find that the Fuzzy Wuzzies were from the Sudan.

You've upset the historians and Rudyard Kipling readers.

A bit like the 35 year old IRA/Alex Salmond link produced on here lately, in that case....with the assertion that SNP members(like me at the time) were supporting the actions of the IRA terrorists.
