World Aids Day: Elton Edits Indie

I'll get a copy of this special edition of The Independent when I brave the cold and snow.
I just hope there's something in it by David Furnish.
The biggest World Aids Day con I've spotted thus far is that Starbucks are donating 5p - five sodding p! - from each coffee sold to something called "the Global Fund".
"So why not get all your friends and work colleagues to choose Starbucks next Wednesday and together we can all make a difference."
And they wonder why anarchists smash their windows.

EDIT: The Independent does have this in an Elton John-themed diary column; "Elton made an appearance in the Wikileaks dump of American diplomatic cables, one of which mentions his trip to Kazakhstan to perform at a birthday party for President Nazarbayev's son-in-law. But he's confident that's the last he'll read of himself in the documents. "I haven't fucked anyone in the American government," he reassured me. "No blow jobs in the Oval Office for me."
The cable reads; "In 2007, President Nazarbayev's son-in-law, Timur Kulibayev, celebrated his 41st birthday in grand style. At a small venue in Almaty, he hosted a private concert with some of Russia's biggest pop-stars. The headliner, however, was Elton John, to whom he reportedly paid one million pounds for this one-time appearance."
In June, John was reportedly paid $1 million to play at the wedding of right-wing US shock jock, Rush Limbaugh.
Good to think Sir Elton sticks to these nice, round figures - and politically dodgy figures.
