Because Catholic organisations are in there supposedly educating and treating the population. And I've no doubt they do great work, however, the one's that follow strict Church guidelines don't introduce condoms into the equation when educating people how to prevent the spread of AIDS. It's an education and access thing.
It took decades for condoms to be accepted here, even by the Government, as a way of preventing sti's. It's that recent, that I remember the arguing over it, and the cuffal when Virgin Megastore started selling them over the counter, and on the counter. (Or maybe that just makes me old!)
Showed it on Reeling in the Years the other night. Cops going into Virgin Megastore on Ashton Quay giving the shop assistants the hairy eyeball and probably asking in strong Bruree accents "where dye tink ye are? Amsterdam?"
Not the sixties, the seventies or the eighties but the year of our lord nineteen hundred and ninety one.
