Earlier this year Bob Geldoff turned up in NZ to criticise us for not giving enough to africa in aid - ignorring the fact that we're running East Timor and the Soloman Islands with Aussie - and a whole province in Afghanistan on our own! No we're doing nothing!
Well fellow Time MAN of the year and in my opinion - tosspot, Bono, who with Geldoff have been leading the Make Poverty History campaign, has been caught out being a tad hypocritical.
U2, despite having extensive tax breaks in Ireland has moved their business to the Netherlands to avoid paying tax. At the same time Bono was lobbying Mary McAleese (president of ireland) to give more money to africa in aid.
Now, Bono, how do you think the Irish govt gets money to give away in aid? How can you criticise a government for not spending enough - when you deliberately avoid paying the tax that would be spent on aid!
Wanker!
