He told them: “There is a place for charity but there are big questions about how it’s done, and the formula for Comic Relief sending out celebrities on expensive flights.

“And if you look at Stacey’s photo, you’ve got a beautiful white heroine with a black baby with its fingers in its mouth - and any parent would have sorted that out in the shot - looking helpless with no agency, no parents around and she’s there as the white saviour.

“That is a story that’s now hundreds of years old… and it’s precisely what keeps Africa poor because Comic Relief is not challenging the audience to ask deeper questions of how and why, it’s simply saying ‘sit back and give us some money’.”

Phillip then said: “In which case, we scrap Comic Relief and don’t send them any money?”

David replied: “I’m not saying that. You could have some Africans talking about their context, you could go to African comedians, you could film part of the night in the continent of Africa.

“Unfortunately Stacey has run into the same criticism that Ed Sheeran has a few years ago, and Madonna when she went over to Africa… and it’s my job to represent my constituents and be very clear that many ethnic minorities in Britain find this deeply, deeply problematic.”

The MP then explained his reasons for not getting involved himself with Comic Relief, insisting it was time for the charity to “move on” and accept there was a need for “change and reform”.

“I’m not a filmmaker,” he said. “There are thousands of African filmmakers, thousands of African celebrities… they don’t need me, my job is to raise the debate. Comic Relief can easily do this if they get off their high horse, get off the tired formula, don’t just rely on the BBC to trot out the same old thing, and they accept there is a need for change and reform...it’s now time for Comic Relief to move on.”

I realize you want to add this to your white oppression list of atrocities against white folk but this is like just his opinion man and it's much more complex than just stay out of africa whitey

President that multiple times has praised murderous dictators and found their lies credible has some real issues with the credibility of his fixer here at home

He would also like to have the investigation into his potential illegal activities stopped immediately and the investigators and political opposition locked up

a well-off black nationalist turd speaking from a position of first world privilege on behalf of people he has nothing in common with except skin color tries to score virtue signalling points in another country even if it causes diminishing of charity product to those people in need, purely selfish motive

and as the dumb racist that you are you jump in defence of the black nationalist whom when offered to do himself the work of others which he condemned (regardless of the fact that the work is highly beneficial) based on nothing else but the color of a womans skin in a picture holding a baby, respectfully declined

if he has such a problem with this charity (which happens to be created by a black guy since its very relevant to racists like u nowadays), he can go and create his own charity where he makes films with African filmmakers which wont trigger him

teraing down an existing charity is not a very good solution if he has positive intentions in mind ofcourse

Joe Biden had the nerve to call Mike Pence a decent guy. Rest assured though, a far-left actress corrected him, because anybody who supports traditional marriage is a monster.

It really is sad how both parties have to appeal to their radicalized bases.

We live in a world where the President of the united states is nicer and more respectful to murderous dictators that lie to his face than we are to each other as people outside of political and religious belief

I've taken a lot of heat over the years for showing forms of respect to guys like McCain and Bush when the times were warranted despite having very passionate disagreements with their politics

The isolation prevents betterment both politically and personally. We have to work together in one way or another or the improvements that people want for their groups won't happen nationally

I agree, I wish the radicals on all sides would go back under the rocks.
