i tend to stop giving when a patronising celeb asks for cash

Its hard to take lessons in morality from multimillionaires.  I'll match them pound for pound when they have the same amount of money as me.

A good rule of thumb.

Bob Geldof vocal in this area too,he has offered to house some of the migrants,they will all be drug addicts after he's finished with them.

It does make me chuckle how peasants (Re- Working Class Hero) feel obliged to dip into their hard earned just because some overrated nonentity asks them to..

Agreed, Cheryl Cole asking for help for the children in need after splashing out 5 grand on a horrible tattoo, is very off putting.

About as bad as the corporate charity can shakers.

They say do you mind if we add £2 to what you are already going to pay us to go to our chosen charity.

Bloomin' cheek.  If its your charity, you fund it.

Bono and Benedict could quite easily just do nothing and lie on a beach all day. Same with Cheryl.

Even if some of it is self obsessed, they're still getting off their @rse and trying, in their spare time. Fair play to them I say.

Terry Wogan and the like are a different story all together. He was taking massive fees for years for hosting Children in need

Where can I sign up to rip you lot off!!?

I want to know what makes their views more important than other people just because they are stinking rich ?

something not right about multi millionaires asking joe public to donate money.

That **** lewis Hamilton goes on bbc children in need asking people to donate, he is worth approx. £180m.

children in need raises approx. £30m - £35m he could just cough that himself easily.

Might help if he also paid his taxes rather than  being a tax exile.

If all those multi millionaires that appear on say children in need gave 5% of their net worth that would raise well over the money they ask for. Bunch of greedy feckers seeking the limelight for their careers.

I will give a donation the day these celebrities wear a badge showing their estimated current net worth .

and tax paid per year

most joe public can't fill a yearly isa allowance

WOuld be interesting to see how much tax avoidance Hamilton has avoided and how many refugees that could home ?

one could maybe fit formula 1 car

I don't think they will let too many into Monaco..

All these people saying they want to house refugees remind me of clueless new dog owners. Get a puppy at Christmas and its on the streets in March. ****s

agree with op, it actually really annoys me when I see adverts with these millionaires begging the public to donate, get to f uck
