women, your bodies aren't your own.

So the Greek government, in response to a surge in HIV cases, has been rounding up female sex workers. Then putting their photos online to warn off , in their words, 'married family men'. Vigilante groups gathered outside the women's homes, yelling abuse at their families. This was in May and around twenty six women remain in jail.

HIV cases had increased by around 57% from last year, but this owes more to government spending costs - firstly reducing the number of needle exchanges, and secondly pushing more women into the sex work industry. With more sex workers and reduced incomes came greater pressure on women to have unsafe sex. Not only did this put women in incredibly vulnerable positions but also contributed to this increase in cases which bucks the general worldwide downward trend.

As Jeremy Hunt narrowly avoids hitting members of the public with his clumsy bell-ringing, and crowds gather across the capital, I am sitting with my television resolutely off. I'm not just a party pooper, just voicing concern about the militarization of my home town, the ever increasing corporatisation of international sports and that these games won't leave any particularly lasting legacy for London.

There's nothing wrong with the idea of bringing together sportspeople from around the world to compete in lovely sportiness. Although the idea of sport as a vehicle for international co-operation and generally niceness remains a little silly. The problem is that these are not a game for the people, this the pet project of a few millionaires and sponsorship wet dream for international corporations. Plus, it makes travel within London, for people who are still obliged to make it to work, impossible.
