INTERVIEWER Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Okay you seem to know quite a lot about Comic Relief given that you didn't even watch the TV programme. Or are you admitting to everyone that you do in fact have a TV and do watch the BBC and are a criminal because of it? Because I'm sure the forum would be more than happy to supply your IP to the authorities to bring a criminal to justice if that is what you're saying? Oh dear. Your attitude worries me greatly. Do you work for the BBC? You do realise that Comic Relief is just a huge PR exercise for good ol' Aunty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*_ash_* Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 We struggle for grants because it is a Faith based charity. We are turned down regular for funding as there are many other charities in the UK looking for funding. We are struggling bigtime but will plod on. You could apply, even though it is faith based.

R i chy Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Having said what I've said, I do think they need to stop having so many kids, that's really the big problem. I think after one kid women should have to have their tubes tied unless they can prove they can afford another one. And the money given to comic relief should be used as financial incentives for women to have their tubes tied. Like they do with smack heads in America. Give them money to become infertile.

Bassman62 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 What is this?? Trollethon!! No it's people starting to wake up to the reality of the situation in Africa, no amount of money will change things, it never has. As I've said before Africa is a very rich continent with massive natural rescources. Ask yourself where all the £Billions poured in over the years has gone and the more you pour in the more will dissappear into the wrong pockets.

Guest sibon Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 What has really changed in the 20+ years of Comic Relief? the answer very little despite the £Millions. Here you go then, Bassman. Which of these achievements are not worth supporting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman62 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I'm not being rude, I'm just highlighting the fact that despite having no idea how the money is spend/the changes it has made, you feel the need to make up stories and announce that it's not making a difference. Then according to you next year we'll se a reduction in the needy in Africa. As Claude Greengrass (Heartbeat) would say "And pigs might fly" your heart may be in the right place but you really are naive if you really do think this years 'Comic Relief' will have any lasting effect if any at all.

What about the education projects provide? Don't you think that has lasting effects? I think you're the one who is naive, I believe you should do at least a little research before making silly claims don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, Children in Need has helped to protect 10 million people against malaria, that's not bad to start off with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INTERVIEWER Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Does anybody else feel nauseous when super rich celebrities - looking for a PR friendly hobby to support their main concern (making money) - preach to the poor about how we should donate our hard earned to their pet causes? If all the super wealthy Comic Relief celebs, people such as George Michael, Keira Knightley, Rio Ferdinand, Sir Paul McCartney, Justin Bieber, Lenny Henry, Richard Madeley etc. gave up a year's income to charity there would be no need for a Comic Relief next time. Hell. These people can afford to give up TEN years income. But they won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
