@Arkle51 I'm really not sure why you are being disparaging. I don't disagree with what you're saying but don't see how this changes my argument in the Echo piece. I haven't said that Geldof wasn't well intentioned.

@rubberdoll82 You may not be old enough to remember the widespread outcry from our White countries UK & Irl With NGOs pushing the guilt. I do remember it very well, Geldof was outraged at the suffering, tried to do something and there you go.........No Institutional memory in your University?

@Arkle51 Michael Buerk was encouraged to report following some back channel diplomacy. I acknowledge Buerk so I'm not sure what revisionism you're referring to.

@rubberdoll82 I note your article in Cork Echo re the Band Aid hit. I believe you are engaging a bit in revisionism. It was I believe Michàel Burke probably BBC who first put the Ethiopian famine to the public. The Geldof response was just that. Our history of famine does inform us of need.

Huge Thank You to @rubberdoll82 who ran 18ml raising nearly £600 for Reprieve! Your efforts will make a huge difference to our work. Reminder that reaching the global abolition of the death penalty is a marathon, not a sprint, and with our supporters, we're going the distance🎖️!

@rubberdoll82 @Reprieve @TotleyAC As a fellow runner and Reprieve's head of media, I salute you! 18 steep miles on trails is a serious challenge. No doubt it will be incredibly satisfying to finish. Good luck.

So @RoyalMail . If I pay enough for a turd to be delivered through every letter box in the UK you'll deliver it regardless of the objections of the resident.
