More money for Africa?

"Get off me you prick and
take them daft glasses off it's not even sunny"


Once again Bono has called upon Western Governments to give more money to Africa in its fight against Aids.
Perhaps Bono ought to start by putting his money where his mouth is and part with some of his estimated 250 million pound fortune and then get his mate Geldof to do likewise and part with some of his riches.
This is the hypocrite who spends his time flying round the world urging Western nations to give taxpayers money to Africa but at the same time moves his businesses from Ireland to deny paying taxes!
He doesn't want to part with any of his money but wants people on 5 or 6 quid an hour to subsidise feckless, corrupt African nations.
Why is it always expected of white countries to bail out Africa?
Bearing in mind that Africa is the most minerally rich continent on the planet would it be too much to expect its residents to start doing something to solve its on problems? Or am i living in a dreamworld?

Geldof was a failed pop star until his 'humanitarianism' conversion. As always its the normal folk who they want to prop up corrupt third world dictators and feed an entire continent.

When will this end? Didnt Live Aid start 20 odd years ago? What difference has it made?

The answer to that is there for all to see.
