UK NEWS: THE NEWS OF THE WORLD PAINTS A NEGATIVE IMAGE OF SOUTH AFRICA BEFORE 2010 WORLD CUP

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! []

Post the whole mens lavatory scandal back in 1997 and subsequently being forced out of the closet, George seems to have become obsessed with smoking illegal substances and cruising for sex on Hampstead Heath.  He also seems to be leading a sad and lonely existence.  But then again he might be happy now. He is just living his life and prehaps there is a sense of relief he doesn’t have to pretend anymore. Anyway in a recent interview with The Guardian, George tells Elton John to ‘shut his mouth’. []
