U2 singer receives peace honour

The poor Africans whom Bono 'supports' work harder every day just to stay alive than Bono has worked in his life. I can't believe you can say he has "earned" his fortune. It's impossible to 'earn' that much money. He could give his daily millions of pounds in interest to Africa and still be no worse off then when he started. It's sickening

Helping to tackle African poverty, even though it hasn't actually been tackled? And he gets an award for making people who earn just about enough money to get by donate what they can? Never understood the concept of super rich megastars asking joe public for their money.
