UK Government Sends 1,000 Condoms to Africa a Minute


The Times reports that last week, the UK Government announced that it would 'pay for 42 million condoms to be sent to South Africa as part of its preparations for the football World Cup' in what can only amount to an act of unfathomable love for Africa, the continent much of which we used to rule, economically rape and enslave. Helen Rumbelowe, writing as if the David Miliband were dictating the article to her, says...
 
'Britain donates more than a thousand condoms a minute to the developing world. It’s an unsung success story that should make our nation proud.'

I hate to sound cyncical, but if the UK Government has generosity to Africa flowing so freely from its heart, then why is it sending out 1,000 condoms a minute, rather than £1,000 a minute, or 1,000 boxes of anti-virals a minute, or 1,000 boxes of HIV drugs, backed by big pharmaceutical companies, or perhaps 1,000 boxes of food for starving children a minute. Of course, only a cynic would say that, in fact, the UK Government, so heavily influenced by eugenic organisations like Marie Stopes, is much happier to send condoms because it stops black people from breeding. I think the economic sum goes something like this...

More condoms for Africa = Less Africans = Less poor black people to feed = Government looks good in The Times without sending so much as a grain of rice unlike that nasty Pope who has the gift of bi-location only for the purpose of standing at the borders of African nations in order to act as a lone sniper in a massive Church conspiracy to stop Africans from getting prophylactics.
