World AIDS Day

It's today folks and the reason why I am wearing what I thought was a very pretty beaded red ribbon badge sent to me by World Vision - but described by one of my colleagues as "Christmas Decoration with Bar" when we were waiting for Prayers.

To more serious matters. I had hoped to pop in to a meeting of the All Party Group this afternoon as we were supposed to be putting pressure on the Minister to announce that tackling AIDS would be a priority during EU Presidential spell and G8 presidency. So was delighted to see the news. Seems that we're knocking on a very open door.
