SAINT BONO RAPPED

The BBC’s complaints unit have rapped the knuckles of BBC producers who decided to give the execrable Bono and his band U2 acres of free publicity at the launch of their latest boring album back in February. But what about removing the hundreds of free plugs on the BBC website? The admiring boys and girls at the corporation chart his and the band’s every move, short of when they go to the lavatory. He repays them by spouting foul-mouthed abuse on air. But no matter, Bono ticks every box for BBC sainthood; he’s a lefty, he hates Britain, and he believes Africa’s salvation is through bucketloads of aid from ‘climate change’ supporting NGOs.
