Human rights brits have enjoyed since the days of winston churchill. And theyre prepared to jeopardize britains membership of the eu, and our prosperity with it, in order to appease their backbenchers. So much for a credible plan from the conservative party. And most astonishingly of all, they have chosen to single out the workingage poor to bear the brunt of the final years of deficit reduction, while refusing to ask the superrich to make a single additional contribution.

This has been a major difficulty for many of the societies that are affected. And its really only in the last few weeks, thanks to the courage of the leaders of the countries concerned, that theres been a much greater emphasis on people coming to terms with and owning the disease and changing their behaviors so that theyre less likely to spread the disease. Another phenomenon thats occurring is that when people get the disease, they get scared.
