He is either an idiot or a racist. Or possibly both. I don’t believe for a second though, than an unknown person from an African country telling the world how wonderful Africa is, will raise as much money as a well known figure highlighting poverty and struggle.

He would perhaps have a point on celebrities jumping on the band wagon, if he did not always talk about their skin colour.

Of course it is posturing. If Lammy had complained of ‘celebrity saviours’, he might have had a point (even if doubtful). He chose to say ‘white’ when the likes of Lenny Henry and Reggie Yates contribute frequently. Does he see them as honorary whites?

Neither were born or have lived in Africa either. Not sure why skin colour is such an issue for him.

Perhaps, this year, Comic Relief should focus on the problems at home? Reducing knife crime by setting up clubs and raising young people's esteem.Supporting the vast army of carers. Reducing mental health probs.Improve quality of life for children with long term medical condition

We have so many underfunded issues
-
Half of all the money Comic Relief raises goes to causes here in the UK including mental health, homelessness, carer support and sick children.

I have read the 2017 financial statement forComic Relief. Some of the grants given are fairly small given the importance of the project. Spreading it a bit thin. Just suggesting ALL money should be used at home this year. Running costs and staff wages are still too high as well.
