It's all very well criticising the residents of the chosen development but how many of the perennial great and the good choose to surround themselves with similarly needy people. There seems to be a massive 'industry' in exaggerated sympathy amongst some really very rich celebrities who like to make a big fuss about helping the cause when that help usually amounts to launching singles, attending lavish fundraising events, donating concert proceeds but very little else. The truth is most of these people would be just as concerned if those who've lost their homes and possessions were going to be housed in their swanky streets, estates and country bolt holes. I can see there being problems if I am honest, maybe even legal challenges to what's being done and with this large number of people needing housing at the same time that's sadly going to be inevitable.

As far as I'm concerned the little lad who donated his pocket money, those who gave what little they had to spare and those who got out there on the ground doing the dirty stuff are far more deserving of recognition (not that they wanted any) than many of those who seem to appear at times like this when there's PR to be had but soon disappear thereafter. I dare say it makes them feel better when they sing songs about need, poverty and injustice when they have so much more than those they reckon they're concerned about.
