I suspect that a chunk of this is as much about gaining contracts and smoothing political wheels, rather than outright charity with no strings attached.

no worries, you're not the only who buys into the current populism politics It's the never-fails magic formula. Take any issue, add an anti foreigner flavour to it, create the divisions between people / societies / nations and bobs your uncle you've got their votes. It put Trump in the whitehouse and it's here in all it's glory.

I rarely venture onto news/politics section but I totally agree with David Lammy. I dont watch comic relief. I find it totally "look at me look at me " and generally nausiating apart from the football related sketches.
Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978 |

I agree with most of what you say here really, in that what Comic Relief can achieve is limited and there's the aspect of 'I've done my bit this year then' to it, rather than either an ongoing caring about the plight or others or not. Where I think you might disagree with him a little though, is the racial side. If it had been Lenny Henry recorded a piece for Comic Relief, I doubt Lammy would've publicly said anything, or at least wouldn't have made race an issue, so I do think that aspect of it was unfortunate.

I can’t stand David Lammy. This is Stacey Dooley he’s talking about. No matter what you might think of her, she’s as caring and genuine as you can get. There was something he said regarding Grenfell that went too far when really it’s the regulation that was at fault in whichever way you view it plus some out of touch and insensitive local councillors.

Stacey Dooley has always come across to me as an unauthentic, self serving idiot. It does however not mean that she is wrong though. That said, I would. So damn would. She is very genuine with her humanitarian concern, I promise you.

As soon as I earned enough money that meant I wasn’t skint near the end of the month I started giving to Action Aid because I wanted to do my bit to help an innocent child with education etc rather than an adult who I wouldn’t know their history or effort.
