EUROPE! HANDS OFF OUR MEDICINE
Millions of people in developing countries rely on affordable generic medicines to stay alive. More than 80% of the medicines used by MSF to treat AIDS across the developing world are produced in India. But the European Commission is now shutting off the tap of affordable medicines by attacking the production, registration, transportation and exportation of generic medicines. People who need these will be left without a lifeline.
How you can help:
Send an email to the European Commission to keep their HANDS OFF OUR MEDICINE!
A message has already been written for you by the the folks here at MSF’s Campaign for Access to Essential Medicines, so take a second and support the campaign!

David Mitchell: "If Britain decides to ban the burqa I might just start wearing one" «
Similarly, while burqas shouldn’t be banned from public places, we don’t have to respect people’s decision to wear them. We can tolerate but criticise it and, as long as we’re not being abusive, take the piss. Consequently, those women who feel pressured into wearing burqas by cultural or familial forces might become aware that they’re living in a society where questioning those forces is welcomed.
David Mitchell - SPOT ON again!
