The British mainstream media will never change. This is a disgrace.
South Africa will host the 2010 football World Cup, and the “delightful” News Of The World has decided to take it upon themselves to “warn” English fans about the host nation.
I’m not sure if the writer of this article ( Sophy Ridge) knows this but there are people living with AIDS/HIV all over the world. And credit card fraud and scams also take place all over the world not just in Africa!
Every country on earth has a seedy underbelly Sophy!
I don’t remember the newspapers “delving deep” and publishing articles like this, designed to provoke fear and ignorance before other nations were set to host the World Cup in the past.
What’s the real motive behind this scaremongering article?
Oh wait! What a stupid question!
For the first time ever an AFRICAN nation is hosting the biggest sporting event in the world. I guess that in some quarters this was and still is a bitter pill to take.
So what do you do next? Fire up the old lap top and write an article featuring suspect facts and figures, that falsely helps to portray Africans as being AIDS riddled, sex obsessed thieving animals, who are not to be trusted.
A job well done Sophy! You must be proud.
Nick Griffin will be pleased!

Note to Sophy – If people need constructive advice before travelling to South Africa for next year’s World Cup then they can contact The Foreign Office.
Your thoughts please….

Black people are the face of AIDS according to people of this country. I saw something like this awhile ago but it was the south africans who wanted to test sex workers who were planning to work during world cup. The sad thing is that it came accross like they were the proa and all those who will be going over there will be AIDS free. When these people go to africa 2 scramble 4 oil and diamonds and ivory now, that never crosses their minds. So whatever ridgy. Some british act like their shit don’t stink.
That’s so true! It is assumed that every one going over there will be AIDS free!
and verbs should be landing right about now !!!!!!!!!!to smack the living daylights out of this publications….
how about now!!!!!!zap!!!!
This article actually left me fuming…
Colour is a powerful thing. I don’t know if she knows that there are also white south africans with HIV/AIDS. Sophat ridgily is just ridiculously foolish. And they are the same people who keep flocking there 4 holidays and what not. Does that warning come with the leaflets?
What kind of born idiot is that woman? She must be feeling really proud and intelligent and superior. rolls eyes
this is wrong on many levels!!
but i hink its right we point out the things that are actuallly wrong with this article!!!!
because as i have just been alerted most english folks reading that article are not gonna be able to sift thru and understand all the things that are so wrong with this article….
so for one.. the figures for prostitution where did those come from!!!
? anyone else!!
i say this because as we have seen before sometimes people come onto this blog and assume were just a bunch of black people bemoaning the system… this article has me so pissed off. i would like to ask peeps to really break down what it you have a problem with !
Can i have the pictures and names of all british folks that are HIV positive and are going to SA, and their criminal record check? That is how ridiculous the motives of the article and writer are.
OMfG!!!
Thanks for ruining my late Sunday munch. What a FAKE nasty story to publish, and why the fcuk is the English public so gullible to this type of Bullshit, the comments left, gezz?
According to the reporter this Mother without a Pimp would be making £30k+ a year by working 4-5 days with 10-20 clients, no interest, tax or NI + cheap rent. Along with the currency value of South Africa, but yet she craps in a buckets and lives in a shed and shares tap water. She’d be filthy rich especially if she ups her rate *5 for world cup.
It doesn’t add up. Its intent is obvious and soo racist. They always get away with this kind of stuff. It makes me sick!
PS.
Dont fcuking put up statistics if you aint gonna compare it to other countries as a population percentage. I hate it when stats get manipulated to paint an exaggerated false picture.
The suspect facts and figures a long with refering to Isabella as being “a killer”… its just unbelievable….
I was so angered today when I saw the article on their website, was gonna buy their paper today to read the footie news, and thought I’d check online instead, I saw the image and heading and got sooo mad, (was glad I never spent my money on that paper, and won’t be again) I didn’t even read the article I was so angry, the picture and headline just killed me, there was absolutely no need, no need at all!… why was there a need to warn fans about the possibility of catching aids/hiv from working women in south africa, why was that news? why was that relevant?? I’m still F’d off about that! if people wanna go and sleep with working women, let them do what they are doing, but I’m not surprised after seeing she is an oxford uni grad! ARRRGGGGHHHH!, I just wanna shake the shhh out of her!
Ignorance is bliss for the blissfully ignorant.
Since the day South Africa beat England to hold the World Cup there’s been nothing but negative stories.
But this one takes the biscuit you can sleep with some with AIDs anywhere in the World.
On a black person, they said, she is a deadly killer and headline her in bold and magnify her picture, then they insert a small related picture of a white woman infected but she is shown as being thoughtful and having hope because she had a baby. Can somebody explain to me this blatant stupidity and racism to me? Ridiculous is an understatement.
South Africans are not responsible for anyone’s sexual habit while over there. If you are going there to watch football, stick to the plan and keep it in your pants. When British people go for holidays and have drunken nights and engage in one night stands and behavE like nothing matters, these countries do not put out fliers warning their residents on the possibilty of their people contracting HIV from careless British folks. When British folks go and behave like hooligans during football, i still do not see them being banned AND RESIDENTS BEING WARNED TO STAY AWAY FROM the possible battery and bottle fights. Nonsense
I think the article mentioned that Britain donates money towards HIV/AIDS fight, or something like that anyway, which would explain why it is justifiable for them to easily brand Isabel as a killer and why they had to blow up her picture. I mean, if someone gives you their money, thay can do whatever the heck they want. Right? *shrugs* And ofcourse, the HIV/AIDS that is in AFRICA is the deadly one, not the one in BRITAIN, and the lives of the sex workers who are HIV/AIDS free are not that important anyway, so since they have decided to sell sex, they deserve to contract the HIV/AIDS from all those who are travelling to the world cup and have the virus. After all, they are doing them a favour by increasing their income. *shrugs*
Why am I not surprised !!! Rowetta & Lati have said it all.
Poor quality articles like this are so infuriating, but I am not surprised at the blatant ignorance.
brace yourselves people…
THIS COUNTRY HAS MANY MORE BODYBLOWS IN STORE
and folks will read that article and not see a damn thing wrong with it!!!….
I am sure no one paid any mind to that article!!! Such rubbish!
