Polly Toynbee on the Pope's funeral - someone had to say it

.. and she says it well. Most surprising to me: "spreading the lie that the Aids virus passes easily through microscopic holes in condoms". Anyone heard of that before?

Not in my name
How dare Tony Blair genuflect on our behalf before the corpse of a man whose edicts killed millions?

Yeah I read about it. She upset a lot of people because the article was published on the actual day of the funeral.
I quite liked some analysis that said that for all the Pope fought communism he was quite the authoritarian / totalitarian when it came to running the church.
