The Pope and the Paedo’s

Over the next few days the world will be watching as men in dresses wave around some incense, chant and vote in the their next leader.

Bigots on News 24

There is nothing worse than a bigot, and the Oscar fiasco has dragged them kicking and screaming out of their holes.

Dirty Cape Town’s Doctor Death
