The Red Nose Day Dilemma PDF Print E-mail
Written by Brian of London

Tomorrow is Red Nose Day in the UK. This is an annual, comedian led charity drive that the BBC spearheads every year. However, as usual, the choice of charities that are supported by this is somewhat of a problem if you feel that Israel should continue to exist and Jews should be able to live there.

The undeniably left wing (but the nice sort who know what they're talking about) web site Harry's Place has an informative post on the troubling nature of some of the key charities that will benefit from money raised on Red Nose Day. And they're not big friends of Israel.

Harry's Place advice to the UK: don't give to Red Nose Day. Pick some of their charities and give "a-la-carte" so to speak.

And let us remember how the other major BBC led charity drive, Children in Need, ended up paying for great outdoor fun in the Welsh mountains for disadvantaged young men, or training courses for London's very own cadre of Islamic suicide tube bombers.

BBC's Children in Need funded 7/7 terrorist propaganda, says Newsnight

Thousands of pounds raised by Britons for the BBC’s Children in Need charity could have been used to recruit and train the homegrown terrorists involved in the 7/7 terror attacks on London.

Hey guys, great news that you're back. I saw a brief note on Meryl's site this morning.

One quick observation: put the date of the post on the post. The opening phrase, "Tomorrow is Red Nose Day in the UK." leads me to try to figure out which tomorrow is the tomorrow the author (Tom?) is/was meaning.

In point of fact, the date[b] is[/b] listed... if you view the articles from the blog / feature sections.
It's a quirk of the "Latest Posts" module (on the front page) that strips the author and date from the top of the articles. I'm not sure why it does that, and I'll see what can be done to fix it.

Thank you for pointing it out.
