world aids day

[pawsmcgraw]

What the heck is going wrong with the world.I was watching the beeb news and they're saying aids cases in the UK are up 25% and st infections are up 400%,this year alone
Along with the 40 million in Africa that have aids and the rest of the world,i would have thought that here in blighty we'd have realised the dangers by now.I guess people have other things to think about rather than death by aids.The beeb also said that cases were on the rise because of the numbers of immigrants that were staying here that were already infected.I thought the beeb was censored be Tony B'liar and his buddies,which means this must besome sort of spin.

I'll bet it's just spin, maybe they just want to highlight the issue, which isn't a bad thing.

25% of sod all is still sod all!

But the principle remains

Aids is certainly nasty and dangerous. However, let's not forget that the biggest killer in this country are more likely to be cancer, booze and tobacco.

What is peculiar about Aids though, is that is can be avoided - unlike cancer. Therefore, it makes sense to raise public awareness and hammer the message home.
