I've been forced to serve a stupid master for far too long to go into the scientific details of this story. However the World Health Organisation (WHO) has today announced that it has discovered a vaccine that prevents the transmission of a certain strain of HIV. As there are only three or possibly now four strains of HIV this vaccine could possibly cut worldwide infection rates by 30%.
The idea of releasing it today was that I would go into a big anarchist rant about why the leaders of the world's 20 richest nations think they have the right to decide private matters like that?!!! That question is proving a bit of a problem for the WHO who are currently trying to get a lot of people to take a swine flu vaccine Personally I got a sniff of the Thai Royal Family in the story so I'd rather take my chances with Swine Flu thanks.
In other news Peter Lord Mandelson, the former EU trade commission has been forced to spend the day touring the BRIT school for performing arts in Croydon. To everyone else this must have been deeply hilarious but I live in Croydon so several hours after the news of his visit spread a huge wave of depression followed as people slowly worked out that there is no greater insult you can give man then sending him to Croydon.
