Bob Geldof tells Blair: "You've fucked with me for the last time!"
Yes, several years after everyone else in the world, Geldof and Bono realise the G8 were taking the piss two years ago when they spoke of sorting out third world hunger, if only they'd realised that before subjecting us to unnecessary Coldplay in Hyde Park two years ago. I should point out that the linked BBC report is coy about Bob's swearing, which was especially funny.

Actually, I like kicking African children with AIDS...
This whole (Red) business annoys me. Whilst I don't doubt the sincerity of the individual people involved, I'm leary of the way charity these days has become swallowed up by business, "Buy £100 of Gap products and we'll give 3p to buy African children AIDS medicine!", "LGBT Mardi Gras bought to you by Stagecoach!" and so on. It's fucking Bono working to get scraps from the masters table in between arguments about hats rather than Bono putting his time and effort into changing the world so African AIDS children get the drugs they need BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT FUCKING THING TO DO. Anyway, if you'd rather treat your charity as a fashion add-on, Blog(Red).
