Good grief!

... and then they grow up and get AIDS.

They need a complete re-education - not just some ten pence drug (that will "save" them for a day or two).

JK2006 Exactly Jim; I really worry about our media when I have to search to find facts like that yet the papers are full of rubbish about whether or not Scotland remains in the UK and whether or not an old DJ squeezed some actress's tits.

JK2006 This statistic was on BBC News yesterday - excellent report on Malawi. Now if I was PM I'd spend money wasted on DLT trial and other media inspired bollocks was sent instead to those saving lives in Africa.
