Apparently Bono wants the rest of us to fund his Make Poverty History campaign, but not himself. There’s no reason why he should pay for this, but perhaps it’s time for him to drop the lecturing and recognise that enforced charity isn’t that liberal.

I shall continue to wear my t-shirt with pride.

I saw another classic case of "Do as I say, not as I do" on BBC News today with Menzies Campbell (the Lib Dem leader) saying in an interview (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/5257296.stm) we should all have environmentally friendly light bulbs when he doesn't have any himself!
