Nice one Steve
Steve's giving all the money (from his single) to the Asian disaster fund. What a nice gesture. I might just go out and buy 3 copies of it.

Credit where credit's due, that's a top act. I might have to buy it now aswell, otherwise like Band Aid I'd feel guilty.
*waits until a Steve-naysayer comes in to say that Simon is just trying to get number one* |

I'm not knocking what Steve has done. I think its great but buying more singles would mean only a percentage of the purchase price going to the fund. Wouldn't it make more sense if everyone who has already bought the cd donated the equivalent of the price they paid?

Unlike Band Aid 20 though the VAT will still have to be paid to Gordon Brown. Donate £4 instead to the disaster relief fund.

I've already bought my copy of Steve's single and although it would be a nice gesture to go out and buy it again to give the help necessary to aid relief for these poor tragic people, I'm going to just pop into my local bank on Tuesday and make a donation knowing that it will all go to the charity fund. ![]() Liked your post Zelana.

Please stop arguing! Happy New Year and all that lol!
I've already bought 2 copies of Steve's single and I also donated £10 at my local Oxfam shop yesterday afternoon. I think that Steve is a top guy! I'd like to think that more stars might donate some of their earnings to such an important cause. |

Oodles, I do accept that there's a great need for us to be more charitable when it comes to things closer to home. It's true that most of us only ever think to dig deep into our pockets at times like this. But not all of us. Most of the home-grown charities have been well established for years, but this is something that is desperately needed right now and we must act. Let's face it........what if the tsunami had hit our shores? Would we all say we're fine about other nations not wanting to help because they have their own people to worry about? I think not.
Happy new year!
