With such a huge disaster having only recently occurred, I was surprised that the BBC's annual
Children in Need luvvy-fest wasn't changed so that all proceeds would go to the Philippines.
On second thoughts, we're talking about the BBC......
Sorry
Beagle but I have to disagree with you there. Actually I dislike the "luvvy fest" as well and don't watch any of it, but the fact is millions watch and enjoy it and it does raise huge amounts of money for very worthy children's charities.
Your argument is similar to those be berate people for giving to animal charities, saying that people are more important, when in fact many people give to both.
The fact is people seem to be a charitable mood at the moment and the total collected for Children in Need is a record, that on top of the vast sums collected for the Phillipines appeal - in many cases I suspect the money is coming out of the same pockets.
