BBC News - Comic Relief: £74.3m total sets Red Nose Day record
How come this raises £74.3 million on the night while Children in Need struggles to break £20m? I didn't think the comedy for the large part was even funny!
This tells me charity does not in fact begin at home, if it's true that Comic Relief is mainly for Africa and Children in Need mainly for the UK.
Also tells me the government won't believe all those protesters saying they're skint. Fuel duty up by another 5p (1p + inflation!) at next week's budget.
Also, why is it that the problems over there appear same or worse every year? Is this money being pissed away on dictator's palaces?
Are the locals too ignorant or selfish to maybe stop having so many children? Not exactly same as over here where the chavs can pump out 10 kids for large benefit handouts for life. They know if they have kids they're likely to die of malaria or starve so why put themselves through that heartbreak? Is it a numbers game, have 10 kids and 2 might grow up into adults?
Where's Geldof and his usual outburst that not enough is being done? Has he finally given up to the fact that it'll take more than international aid to sort out Africa's problems?
Lots of questions that probably won't get real answers, so see you here this time next year.
