Live 8

'We don't want charity, what we want is justice'

G8 will not end poverty, warns Brown

Gorgeous George, Lord Bob and Bolivia

I hope Live 8 will do some good and I'm sure it will but unless we are prepared to make drastic changes to how we live I don't see how we can solve the crisis we are facing today.

Its all very well throwing money about but do we stick around to see how it is spent?
Is Africa the only country that needs our help? Why is there no big concerts to raise awareness over Womens issues or maybe the arms trade? Or are these too thorny issues!

I'm not trying to put Live 8 down I just think we need to find long term solutions and not ignore other concerns.
