Just listened to David Lammy whinging on Today about how unacceptable Red Nose Day is

Because it portrays Africa in an unacceptable light, only focusing on poverty and dying children. He thought this was patronising and said Red Nose should be celebrating all the successes of Africa

Instead of the Red Nose bloke (or Nick Robinson) telling him what bollocks this was, we had 5 minutes of PC caution and promises to look again at the content

Give me strength
