I am sure you are all waiting for me to rant about one particular thing. That Irish dude. Errr. Sonny Bonno. No that isn’t right. Nobo, hmmmm no they make white board pens. Bonio. Nope, dog biscuits (tasty ones actually). Ah, i have it….
Bono. Or more accurately. Bono. (Because he is Irish he can’t be called Sir Bono). Given a reward by the Queen for his “services to the charitable world”. So where does he fit into this big wide world of humble beginnings, financially massive endings and disease, famine and war killing half the globe.?
Bono has an approximate fortune of £100 million. Not bad for a “Champion of the Poor”. Considering only a quarter of that came from his band U2, it makes you wonder what the hell else he has as a side line. And also asks that question I have asked so many times before…
Why do you need that much dosh.? Surely if you have enough for a packet of fags and a few rolls of loo roll, food aside, that is all you need. Obviously I am leaving out such luxuries as a large plane, several cars and a load of houses around the world as well as several gallons of Guinness a week (well he is Irish of course).!
The one thing that sours this whole “Sir” business is the fact that Bono appears to have more than just a charitable nose poked into the world’s affairs. He appears to have a reasonably staunch view towards the Labour Party to the point where news of his knighthood was actually released on the Parliament and Royal websites at the same time.! Doesn’t that strike you as being just a little strange.? What in hell has Tony Blair ever done for Africa except sell a few million pounds worth of weapons to ‘em.! Weird.
Oh and on the subject of rich people and Africa, how come Elton John and David Furnish rather generously give money to several (not just one) children of impoverishment in the rather toasty continent WITHOUT removing the children from their native homes (surely the perfect way to give a child a proper cultural start in it’s original territory). Madonna… hear that you selfish bint.? GIVE THEM SOME MORE MONEY. Don’t just steal their kids.! Witch.
