[Margaret Pilkington]

It was a laudable effort......but it was just a concert.......and although the performers were not paid, they all got 'goodie bags' worth £7000.......now tell me I'm being a cynical old Burger if you like......but do these folk really need such inducements. Oh, and who's betting that there will be recordings of the concert on sale soon and we'll all be coughing up our hard earned readies to capture a piece of it.......profits.....? bet they aren't donated to Africa.
And.....just while I'm up here on the soap box.......don't you think it was OBSCENE of Bill Gates to go on stage.......what was that all about........? He could wipe out the debt in Africa without even feeling it.

Africa doesn't need AID....what Africa needs is TRADE! And the ousting of corrupt governments.

We could repeat this episode every three years and still be no nearer a solution.

SORRY.....but that's how I feel.
