no one forces kids and pensioners to donate. Comic relief, children in need bring awareness to the situation, Bono probably does give some to charities but why should he give all his money away?

£84 million?..is that all?

Because most people like to do their bit, this is a way that every 50p donation can be made to count.
Not everyone can afford to give regular donations to charity, but people like Bono can afford to put their own time and money into organising these massive high-publicity events.
Bono personally donates a huge amount to humanitarian work - did you check this before you posted? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bono

I'm not saying he should give all his money away he is entitled to it and can do what he wants with it but he does go on and on about the poor and needy, he will never spend his fortune in a lifetime We are all aware of what goes on in the world and what people need, the programmes highlighting it spend a fortune on presenters!
