    Congratulations NAT on the great work that you continue to do on changing attitudes towards HIV.

    The film clip provides a snap shot of how so many things have changed in HIV care, but sadly public attitudes have not kept pace with the advances in care & treatment.

    I am sure there are many who will hopefully learn something from all those who took part in the film.

    Keep up the good work.

    No one is interested in your allegations, they are in the past! The Crusaid Hardship Fund was saved by THT and now provides vital financial assistance to those living with HIV -I really fail to see why you have to keep harping on about Crusaid and your other hobby horse UKC – both charities were badly managed hence they are no longer around.

    Stop hijacking these comments threads with your clap trap!

      How typical Samuel, as I have said before why don’t you join ACT up in this ridiculous crusade!

      What ever happened to Status Prevention? We have senn nothing from them all year, I wonder what happened to the funds they raised last year on WAD? I don’t see anyone questioning Peter Scott.

      So where were you when all this was going on???? What is the point of constantly going on about things that are in the past and cannot now be changed????? Your ridiculous SPAMMING on many sites is not going to bring any of the money back is it????

      I have seen you spout the same drivel on various sites -why not put your efforts into something worthwhile like supporting people living with HIV, do some voluntary work, but don’t waste your time on rubbish like that because it is all in the past, and whatever axe you have to grind go do it somewhere else!

        Perhaps maybe so that those responsible for such blatant corruption at the expense of those who were shafter by the likes of the deplorable Steven Bitty can finally be held to account?

          I agree that those who are responsible for any financial wrong doing should be held to account, but what I fail to see is what good any of this spamming is doing, we see it in other threads that have nothing to do with the subject.

          Anyone who is serious about finding out the truth about these things does not need to hijack various gay sites with this SPAM. This sort of campaign just switches people off and does nothing to hold those responsible to account.

        Or perchance are you of the opinion that those guilty of past crimes ala the police at Hillsborough and Jimmy Savile should be pardoned because they occurred years ago?

        It is gratifying to see so many truths bubbling to the surface as mass consciousness shifts to a more open and enlightened paradigm.

        Indeed I eagerly await mass awareness of the truth about how pharma operates growing bigger by the day and bringing its entire house of cards crashing down.

          Whilst you may think you speak for gay men in general you certainly do not speak for me Samuel. You are ever becoming more like the “thought Police” you often refer to. I am very capable of having my own thoughts about the events that you highlight above, so please do not think that you know what my opinion is.

          Having lived in Hillsborough & also attended matches at the ground where people lost their lives I certainly do not think that anyone should be pardoned, the truth must be outed, and it is great to see that the families who lost loved ones will finally get the justice they deserve and those that are culpable are held to account.

          How typical of you to try a cheap shot at me linking failed HIV charities to events such as Hillsborough & the Jimmy Saville investigations. It says it all about your rhetoric Samuel, but I have come to expect nothing more from you – I thought you had been too quiet for too long………………………..

          You will be pleased to know Samuel that I am currently reading “Bad Pharma” and whilst you have consistently suggested that I am naive about the way Corporations are run to maximise profit, I do not sit in my ivory tower aloof from the rest of the population, I am able to form balanced opinions on matters relating to the Pharma Co’s.

          Your constant denial about the development of better meds to manage HIV is borne of your dislike for Pharma Co’s – it has nothing to do with the very clear evidence that modern treatment works very well. This dislike of Pharma Co’s encompasses your dislike for HIV charities where you erroneously think they are in bed with each other. Many gay men have benefited from grants made available to charities such as AIDSMAP, i-Base, NAT, THT, George House Trust etc. You are the naive one Samuel!

          You want to see the demise of HIV charities & have them replaced by companies such as Serco & Virgin Health – be careful what you wish for sunshine!!!

      As you seem to live in the past I really do not think you have a future! What do you possibly aim to achieve by spouting all this clap trap on various sites????? HIV Charities up and down the Country do great work & are more reliant than ever on volunteers. If you dislike the Charity sector then that is your right, but what would you propose it is replaced with – incompetent Government departments?

      I guess you are really happy that private sector firms are now gaining contracts relating to sexual health services – companies like Serco & Virgin Healthcare, do you really think they are going to provide the same level of service that the Charity sector?

      As I say the world has moved on since the demise of UKC & Crusaid, think it is time you did as well.
