| | Band Aid |
 | | Despite the fact that aid seems to be diminishing in its effectiveness the aid giving institutions such as the World Bank love to crow about how much they've learned over the years and how aid is only getting more effective. | | | This is not a great benefit and does not justify the grandiose terms that advocates of aid speak in. | | | Aid proponents constantly talk about "foreign aid success stories" like Thailand and S. Korea, but I don't think they really believe these Asian countries prove aid works. |

| | The Rats were touring and passing buckets into the audience at gigs to collect yet more cash for the Band Aid fund but Bobs passion and vision for his cause was turning him from a scruffy celebrity into a powerful spokesman who told the truth. | | | He was quite honest about wanting to get out of the Band Aid industry and, as recent events have shown, his capacity for forgiveness and compassion is beyond description. | | | Theyd had number one hits and theyd reaped all the benefits that popular bands do: theyd had the babes and the limos and the bucks but now their career was in the dumper. |

| | The Band Aid single would sell more than 7 million copies worldwide, providing nearly £7 million for the Ethiopian appeal as well as alerting previously unaware western eyes to the magnitude of the famine problem. | | | By the time it became clear that Band Aid was a runaway success rather than a mere gesture, George Michael had already decided to donate his royalties from the million selling 'Last Christmas' to the same appeal fund. | | | Nevertheless, the fantastic achievements of Band Aid cannot be overstated and the British government should feel ashamed by its refusal to waive the 15 per cent VAT levy on the single. |
