They gave their time and voices – so that’s alright then. And Lenny Henry and all the others encouraging us to buy red noses? What was their cash contribution?

Prince Charles is patron of a number of charities but just how much of his own cash does he contribute?

The point that I am making is that it is all very well these celebrities encouraging the general public to give, give and give but they too should be seen to be giving cash not just their time.
