    Make poverty YOUR responsibility ???!?!???

    Ok, poverty relative. So if we help Africa to reach a state where it is in a position to compete with the West then surely won't we become relatively poorer ?

    Won't the Africans just compete with us ???? take our jobs .... our opportunities ... our dominance away ?

    What is the point ?

    They say "oh its morality that makes us human" .....but go out into the streets of London now and see how many people give a damn about you and see how many are trying to rip you off and how many people there are really relatively poor ...........

    I just think Geldof has got his priorities all wrong. Help the people of England man .....!!

      Around 35,000 to 50,000 pensioners die of hypothermia and related conditions in the UK each year.

      Nobody is quite sure how many homeless people there are.

      MRSA deaths continue to rise due to poor sanitation in hospitals.


      The Nu Labour solution? Let's send billions of pounds half way round the world, oh and chuck in a few hundred million for a knees up so we can pat ourselves on the back.

        I foresee a massive destabilisation in Africa some time soon.

        Spod.

          Even Nelson Mandela doesn't get it.

          "Do not look the other way, do not hesitate... It is within your power to prevent a genocide."

          And yet what does Mr. Mandela have to say, let alone do exactly about the disgusting crimes committed against hundreds of thousands of poor people in neighbouring Zimbabwe. Crimes committed by a grubby little dictator right next door to South Africa ?

          Mandela turns the other way, that's what he does.

            Mugabe

            But he was a good fellow in the struggle for 'liberation' from these horrible colonialists (the same people that turn for help when in need of), so that makes it alright.
            Pity the poor citizens of Zimbabwe can't see him like this any more when they die homeless and starving

                NewLie don't send anything like "billions" to Africa. They didn't pay for Live8 either.
                What exactly is your point? You'd probably be the first to complain if taxes went up to pay for free heating for pensioners, free council houses for the homeless and 20,000 extra cleaners for the NHS.

                  The world rejected communism. What do they expect?
