It's sad really because you always will get charities who get together and who genuinely want to help and these stars who dance on the self-righteous band wagon.
Whatever people's intentions are at the end of the day, unless everybody comes together and works constantly at something or other then the fat cats will nearly always win.
What's your point?
no matter how many media conned young people swam the chanel or walked to john o groats.
it was allmedia pop party lets have a good time while a million children die linda bollox.
looks like ...a lot of sincere people were conned again by the establishment ...sir being a big part of that establishment.
i have to go to my bed ...i'm full of drink and drugs and can no longer stay upright.whuch was the aim ...i haven't slept propper for ages ...
It's wierd how the media floats from one thing to another.
The campaign is still going by the way, i regulary get emails telling me how I can help and I do things that are asked.
I don't think he has one.
He's just ranting about how Geldof didn't save the world.
It's quite tiresome really.
I wonder when freethepeeps will grace us with his intellectual presence?
One word too many there I fear.
Surely you mean "will grace us with his presence".
The point is that some people feel cheated. But then if you have high expectations then you are more likely to be disappointed by reality.
If anyone expected the G8 marches/Live 8 concert to change the world over night then they are fools. It was always going to need long term actions.
i do want saint bob to appear in public aND SPEAK UP FOR HIMSELF ...EXPLAIN THINGS.
DOES HE STILL SUPPORT BLAIR AND BROWN?
did he know the whole thing was a sham?
he is a media mogul who can get airtime anytime ...so why isn't he condeming what realy happened ...or didn't as the case may be?
does he feel foolish ...used? how used?
does he owe the public an apology or an explanation?
an explanation would be fine.
Spot on, that's my take on it.
Sadly some people around here wouldn't have been satisfied unless it brought about world-wide shift from capitalism, although Mr Roll isn't one of them.
The fact that he goes on about Geldof rather than the issues whilst highlighting Africans who complain about the same thing show him to be a hypocrite...........
But a shift from capitalism was not the aim....
One of the refreshing things about this campaign is that it was not hijacked compaltletely by politics and actually advocated a shift towards capitalism, i.e. freer trade.........
and that isn't political...how exactly?
This seems relevent.
