Don't shoot the messenger! These aren't my opinions!


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2006/09/29/ftgeldof29.xml


 







Fellow Irishman Henry Kelly says that Geldof should leave saving the world to the professionals and keep his opinions on just about everything to himself


Am I the only person who has come to the conclusion that Bob Geldof, oops sorry, Sir Bob Geldof, has at last become – after years of practice – the most annoying, irritating and self-promoting person around? He was at it again this week, pronouncing on Radio 4's Today programme on international politics.


I have some sympathy with those who say never mind about making poverty history, make Geldof history.

Hell, I even felt moved enough to write a letter defending Geldof! (excuse my little dig with regards his musical career)


============================================================


SIR -  I found Henry Kelly's views on Bob Geldof quite disagreeable.


Geldof has, for over twenty years now, taken up his crusade to fight poverty throughout the world and has staged it manfully.   He has adopted other causes and has never been afraid to promote them, no matter what the personal cost.  He is outspoken, as sometimes that's what is required.   He sincerely believes in all his undertakings and gives generously of his time and, more importantly, his heart.  The other campaigners mentioned, though doubtless doing worthy work, have had nothing like the impact or influence that Geldof has.


I suggest that if Mr. Kelly had achieved a fraction of what Geldof has, he would be in a position to criticise his means. As for making Geldof history, that is an incredibly trite comment.  It is a shame, that we don't have more bores like Geldof in the world who make things happen.


Even if Mr. Kelly remains unconvinced, he should look upon Geldof's involvement in humanitarian causes and politics as the lesser of two evils.  Without them, he may resume his career in popular music.  


ArrGee


PS I think Henry Kelly is a bore as well, yet consider his journalism the lesser of two evils. I trust he will not consider ressurecting Game for a Laugh should he be made history.

Henry Kelly is a Wanker....

On anarchic BBC2 sketch show The Mary Whitehouse Experience, David Baddiel and Rob Newman were investigated by the Broadcasting Standards Council when they called Kelly a 'wanker'. The complaint was rejected because the accusation wasn't unfair!


He went bankrupt in 2004.

You must be wondering how
the boy next door turned out
have a care / but don't stare - because he's still there
lamenting:
    "Policewomen, policemen, silly women,
    taxmen - uniformed whores
    they who wish to hurt you
    work within the law
    this world is full / so full of crashing bores
    and I must be one
    cos no one ever turns to me to say
    'take me in your arms
    take me in your arms / and love me' "
You must be wondering how
the boy next door turned out
have a care / and say a prayer - because he's still there
lamenting:
    "policewomen, policemen, silly women,
    taxmen - uniformed whores
    educated criminals
    work within the law
    this world is full / so full of crashing bores
    and I must be one
    cos no one ever turns to me to say
    'take me in your arms
    take me in your arms / and love me
    and love me' "
What really lies
beyond the constraints of my mind?
could it be the sea?
with Fate mooning back at me?
no, it's just more lock-jawed pop-stars
thicker than pig-**** / nothing to convey
so scared to show intelligence
it might smear their lovely career
this world - I am afraid
is designed for crashing bores
I am not one / I am not one
you don't understand
you don't understand / and yet you can
take me in your arms and love me / love me
and love me
take me in your arms and love me
love me / love me
take me in your arms and love me
take me in your arms and love me
would you do, would you do / what you should do

Henry Kelly?

Who cares what that foxhunting little s**t says! It would be a pleasure to set 100 rabid foxes on him, see how he likes getting torn to pieces.
