A quick break from that ONS sexuality survey, to recommend you read Marina Hyde's hilarious piece on Bono - "the little twat with a big heart" - and his ONE "Campaign to make poverty history".
It's easy to laugh, so we shall.
Hyde was writing in response to the news that "the New York Post revealed that in 2008, the most recent year for which tax records are available, ONE took $14,993,873 in donations from philanthropists, of which a thrifty $184,732 was distributed to charity. More than $8m was spent on executive and employee salaries."
Oops!
Fagburn wonders if any readers can think of any gay and/or HIV/Aids charities or organisations - perhaps with celebrity backing - that spend an obscene amount of their income on wages and "running costs" and only give an insultingly small amount of money to helping the needy of the parish?
