You can't change the world, but if you can change the life of one person then surely it's worth it? Too easy to be cynical H.....if you don't like it, just watch another channel. No one is holding a gun to your head are they?
Fair comment Paul and as I'll be at Roots Hall :'( tomorrow night I shan't be watching. It easy to be cynical and after 50 years of seeing these horror stories coming out of Africa etc I am, but I'm have grave doubts that donations to these particular appeals gets to and actually changes the lives of the people who so desperately need the help. I do know, and despite Bob Geldof's protest to the contrary that Band Aid were utterly ripped off by people they trusted to charter ships for them. And once ships arrived in the ports of Massawa & Djibouti the cargo was discharged and remained on quays for months because of what I'll politely term as red tape.
