Bob Geldof speaks

At the weekend, I saw St Bob. He said 'To die of hunger is an intellectual absurdity and morally repulsive. I want you to individually believe you can help change the condition of the most put-upon and beaten-down people on this planet.'

I turned to the lady next to me, and commented 'Hasn't he done well since the eighties?'. And everyone shouted 'Make poverty history'. And, Abracadabra, it was. I haven't seen a single starving person since.
