Popular Post Claadehol Posted June 19, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Bob Geldof, (from Southern Ireland), has got himself in the news again by harassing a peaceful flotilla of UK fishermen. What experience does Mr. Geldof have regarding the UK fishing industry, and seeing as he comes from Southern Ireland what right does he have to try and impose his views on the UK electorate?This is the multi millionaire who recently charged the organisers of an anti poverty charity in Australia $100,000 to make a speech. Isn't there something wrong there somewhere? The other guy making a speech did so for nothing.He seems to like waving two fingers at the fishermen, maybe it's time to do the same to him.

Popular Post Ghostrider Posted June 19, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 He'd never have been anything other than yet one more nobody of minimal talent no-one had heard of, had he not walked all over dead bodies to grab his "15 minutes", with a catchy, but nevertheless arguably rather distasteful one hit wonder. How much of the profits from "I Don't Like Mondays" did he donate to Brenda Spencer's victims? Beats me why anyone would give his "opinion" any more credence than the ramblings of a half-comatose wino. brian.smith, sludgegulper, Da Burra Shop and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Burra Shop Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Tens of £Millions from band aid live aid went straight into the hands of arms dealers, bob knew this at the time yet still went on to do the same a few years later when his name was no longer in the lime light. He has the blood of thousands of Ethiopians and Sudanese victims of the genocide he provided the weapons for on his hands. He should be facing trial at the hague.

MuckleJoannie Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 From the Independent 4 November 2010 "The BBC will today broadcast a comprehensive and humiliating apology for the allegations it made eight months ago that millions of pounds of Band Aid and Live Aid money was diverted into arms sales." http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/bbc-apologises-over-live-aid-money-reports-2124576.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claadehol Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I'm sure Joannie that is well worth reporting, and I'm also sure there are plenty of other media stories that don't hold much water. However I'd be very surprised if none of that band aid millions had been syphoned off, considering the corruption endemic in Africa. I have a good friend who has personal experience of this.Anyway the whole point of this topic is Mr. Geldof's involvement in the Brexit campaign. If his involvement in a world poverty campaign costs the organisers $100,000, How much has he cost the organisers of "remain?"If he is really concerned about world poverty perhaps he could feed a few starving Africans with that $100,000, give it to charity, rather than add it to his substantial bank account.But then the big charities have also had a bad press lately, passing on personal details of donors to others for yet more money. Taking it further, how could a charity like the "cats protection league" lose about £12,000,000 in the Icelandic banks collapse and survive. Was that just one of their investments? I think they got about 8,000,000 back eventually, so no big deal, only lost 4.These "charities" are big business, providing big salaries to "caring" guardian readers all over the country. There are a lot of "bleeding hearts" that are doing very nicely financially these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roachmill Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 It's almost as if Sheepshagger has been elected to the WS committee and is now launching all manner of personal attacks under his own name all over Facebook. He's certainly not above personal attacks that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
