I see that scruffy, foul-mouthed irish multi-millionaire has been on the telly again to publicise the latest poverty scam This time, he & his fellow "musicians", worth a couple of billion between them, will be asking us to empty our pockets in return for a couple of hours of listening to their infernal din. All proceeds, as usual, to the starving babies of Africa or some similar "good cause."

Yeah. What happened to the dosh raised for Ethiopia 20 years ago? Did it make any long-term difference?And look what happened to the Tsumai appeal. Of the £400m raised in the UK, less than £20m has gone into the front-line. In the case of Sri Lanka, practically nowt. However, there's an awful lot of advertisments in the Guardian for Charity fund raisers, Aid Co-ordinators and all the other non-jobs associated with this third world scam

But not only that; it appears that this time they will be encouraging the great unwashed to invade Scotland, with the aim of disrupting the G8 conference. Their objective? More debt write offs, More Aid, Higher taxes...all to prop up a motley selection of rotten African tin-pot regimes.

Well, Geldof and Chancellor Brown, you won't be getting a penny out of me.
