Don't you find it a little patronising to have some pop stars remind people that there's a world outside your window? Before they bugger off back to their sprawling Hampstead pad or their penthouse, their limo swooping past elderly people eeking out a living, hospitals that are busy shaking tin cups for cash and homeless people living on the street, of course... but they're not quite so headline-grabbing right now. It's less Band Aid and more Band Waggon if you as me.
