Just read on BBC that the Spice Girls are going to be singing at the Nelson Mandela 90th birthday concert.

Nothing wrong with that ... but doesn anyone know why this is being held in Hyde Park, England ? Nelson Mandela is South Afrcain last time I checked ? Am I missing something ?

Presumably some promoter needs an excuse to make themselves a few suitcases of cash?

I thought it was more to do with his 46664 charity (http://www.46664.com/) ??

Tis being organised by the Queen boys.

Probably in the UK as we're the only country that seem to fawn all over him.

Well more fool them, the weather's going to be much better in South Africa !
And how come we have a statue of Mandela in Parliament Square, but not Gandhi or Mother Theresa or someone ?
