Watch the money drop.

// I just have [stopped donating to Africa ] //

Saves the dosh for more cheap poo from Spoons to celebrate when our PM doesn’t f@ck up again.

[Sunk]

// Chief Mumbo Jumbo //

Dog whistle alert.

[ToraToraTora]

head in the sand alert, sunk, most of the CR dosh goes no where near the starving wretches we are supposed to think it's for anyway.

Who gets it ?

[ToraToraTora]

come on, you cannot be that naive! Every "middle man" from here to Timbuctoo for a start, I'd be surprised if 1p in the £1 gets anywhere near the African villages we often see on TV during CR.

Yawn TTT,

Good night.

[ToraToraTora]

I suppose the penny dropping can be traumatic for the believers.

[Sunk]

TTT,
I’d sooner watch a dismal Man Utd performance in the Champions League, than be distracted by AB ball lux.

[ToraToraTora]

...and yet you have been!

[Sunk]

I’m a multi-tasker!

The first half was not very watchable - unfortunately. But currently 1-0.

[archibaldy]

Less money for less Stacy Dooley, seems like a fair trade off.

I haven't donated or watched since the first Comic Relief. It's a good excuse to curl up and listen to music or watch a favourite C.D..

Very seriously, this decision is racist isn't it? I'm surprised at Lenny Henry.

If we think this is bad, wait until BLM gets more power.

//I'm surprised at Lenny Henry. //

I'm not. He is racist and always has been. A man with a huge chip on his shoulder.

[Zacs-Master]

Jeez, you’re on one tonight, N. True colours shining thru and no mistake!

[emmie]

i agree Naomi, i have always wondered why people find him funny. i do not

//I'm not. He is racist and always has been. A man with a huge chip on his shoulder.//

A man who was married to a white woman for 25 years is racist. Yeah, right.

[emmie]

perhaps it;s latent.

[Bobbisox1]

I've never donated as a believer of Charity beginning at home, past scenes of people like Mugabe and his opulent lifestyle tells me I'm right not to

[Deskdiary]

Is Lenny Henry black? I would never have known; I mean it's not as if he tells us he's black at every opportunity!

I actually think this is a pretty good idea though, but probably from a different perspective; on the rare occasions I happen to have caught a bit of Comic Relief, I did find it faintly vomit-inducing that the likes of the hundred-millionaire, Ed Sheeran, is sent to some toilet in Africa to pose with underfed kids.

Personally I can't stand CR, not for the charity money collected or how it is spent, that wouldn't bother me because I don't give to any charities, the reason I can't stand CR relief is because on the rare occasions I've caught a bit of it, the 'funny' bits are so painfully unfunny that I feel embarrassed for them, and because of the stupid and wholly unnecessary hysteria and whooping from the audience.
