celebrities in need?

 

if those s'lebs got together & gave a few quid & didnt try to tax avoid, then they wouldnt be begging the poorest in society to give a donation

and 

it IS the poorest who give the most money

 

i think that children in need started with a good heart but went on to be a vehicle for promotion to those that arent doing too well or have something to promote

they might not get paid

but its all about promotion now

and 

children in need is basically free promotion as there's millions watching

 

am i cynical?

 

what do you think about it?

Pirate you make a fair point.

I don't doubt that CiN do some great work

I don't doubt some Celeb's are bandwaggoning off the back of a good cause.

And I must question where the money goes.

 

Many years ago a bunch of well fed, beautifully dressed teens walked into CiN playing musical instruments,

"With your donations School X have been given new trumpets"

WHAT!!

Children in need of a new trumpet?

And recently a bunch of iPhone wielding teens were talking about a drop in centre where they could go 'to chat and be with their mates'.

That's NOT why I would give my money.

They are not in real need.
