And I sang a song for Aaaafri-caaaaaa

Irelands best, lies to the world.

Anglo Gold-a Duch UK company-is mining in Africa and is being investigated for paying local warlords 6,000 dollars in bribes in the Amazon basin. An area half the size of Wales is being mined for gold- it is known as 'the richest place on earth'. the largest gold tract in the world is being taken out. The locals are starving. You think Bono will mention this at the gig;-you must be kidding.He and Geldof are part of the 'elete' who support companies involved in 'legally' asset-stripping so called 'poor' countries and whole continents. Sir Bob is successfully deflecting real dissent by organising a nice gig and like most protests, people go home when it's over. If he and Bono were any good they would bring their audience to the g8summit instead of singing to them and sending them home.
Anyone who accepts a title of 'Sir'... from the queen is in full flight of the truth if he thinks he can speak for the impoverished millions deliberately made poor by the same people that he and Bono meet regularly, Bush Blair and even Bertie, to discuss dropping a debt put there as part of an ongoing deliberately installed systematic destruction of the Arrican continent., Watch this space.
