You will see that the rhetoric of the Bond site does not match their judgement . They claim to be demanding action against poverty and state the world cannot wait .Yet at the same time they have banned the participation of this sculpture in a rally planned for 2nd June in London . Their reason ? It may upset some Christian groups !
How sensitive are these lost souls . How pretentious . HIV aids for teenage girls ( as the norm), is not the daily horror in UK that it is in Africa . Oh no, there in UK ,for the righteous there is unbiased sex education,, free birth control pill, ,condoms of good quality and, when needed HIV medication. Then,last but not least , abortion on the NHS , free of charge.
I would remind the group Bond and their 'christian dogma co-workers' that poverty is not merely monetary .There is poverty of mind, vision and freedom ... and they seem cursed by such .
As usual, the Danish artist Mr Galschiot was making a contribution funded by himself . His message is worth a million empty words . Just as crucifixion is a terrible, painful ,slow death ... so is HIV aids and for the powers that be to expect innocent unborn children to be burdened by such is more like the work of a devil !
Bond ,as in 007 fame was 'licenced to kill' ...All who ignore the need for sexual education and use of good quality condoms do likewise , but minus a licence .
