What a sad state of affairs that we've created a society so bitter and twisted that there is no compassion in left in so many people. Lily Allen may be far from perfect but in one thread many of you have proved yourself a lot worse. The ignorance is staggering.
Sorry but this is wrong.
You have no clue what anyone here is doing, what charities and causes they support or what pressure groups they give time and energy to.
Reactionary emotive mewlings from an over-privileged popstar, giving succour to an overwhelmingly criminal group, whilst sidelining thousands who play by the rules yet receive little or no media / 'sleb spotlighting?
I can think of very little that is worse TBH.

Although Lily has no right to apologise on a nations behalf, she is 100% correct when she blames England and the west for thetroubles. England's greed has caused misery for lands all over the world for hundreds of yearsThey then have the cheek to complain when the people's lives they have ruined look for refuge.Maybe if they along with other parts of the West kept their greedy hands to themselves we wouldn't have this 'problem' in the first place.
England, eh? We're real barstewards compared with the Saintly Scots, the Wondrous Welsh and the I've-not-got-an-alliteration-hey-yes-I-have' Irish.
Unfortunately, 'having the cheek to complain' is about all we can do. Well that and rely on International Law, a belief that criminals should face the consequences of their actions, that our greedy hands gave many countries a functioning civil service, law and order, health provision (however rudimentary), recreation, sanitation and just how many centuries should it take for countries with abundant natural resources to evolve into fully functioning civilised contributors to C21?

If you believe that then you're off your head roger. England didn't conquer many lands so they could give them anything.They used an iron fist so they could take over for their own benefit and greedNow they're reaping what they sow with the damage that they have caused and rightly so imo
Of course I don't believe The British Empire conquered half the world for altruistic reasons!
The benefits I outlined were and are a definite positive byproduct - or in the case of somewhere like Zimbabwe, would be, if the implementation of political ideology hadn't trumped a working society benefiting the majority (see also Venezuela)
