Band Aid at 40 - an interview with Dr Colin Alexander, an expert in political communications, on how the pop song changed the charity sector #BandAid40 @ntuhum @NottmTrentUni @rubberdoll82

@Arkle51 I'm really not sure why you are being disparaging. I don't disagree with what you're saying but don't see how this changes my argument in the Echo piece. I haven't said that Geldof wasn't well intentioned.

Here's a little video I did to coincide with the article I wrote for The Conversation on #BandAid40

@Arkle51 Michael Buerk was encouraged to report following some back channel diplomacy. I acknowledge Buerk so I'm not sure what revisionism you're referring to.

[Colin Alexander @rubberdoll82]

Great to see @dized covering the Band Aid story and using my article in The Conversation to inform the debate about the role of charity in society.

@ben_bt just to add to your piece on Band Aid earlier. Geldof took the huff with me last week over it. Glad you're covering this.

This is, surely, a plant piece that's been ghost written or incentivised by big pharma.

Where is the very obvious counter-argument or info about the mental health issues?

"Psychologically, it can be argued that the applause actually represents an outpouring of relief that this mass self-deception can continue."

Read my op-ed published today on #Putin 's nuclear threats. Available for further comment or interview.

Huge Thank You to @rubberdoll82 who ran 18ml raising nearly £600 for Reprieve! Your efforts will make a huge difference to our work. Reminder that reaching the global abolition of the death penalty is a marathon, not a sprint, and with our supporters, we're going the distance🎖️!

[andrew purcell @andrewpurc]

@rubberdoll82 @Reprieve @TotleyAC As a fellow runner and Reprieve's head of media, I salute you! 18 steep miles on trails is a serious challenge. No doubt it will be incredibly satisfying to finish. Good luck.

[Reprieve @Reprieve]

@rubberdoll82 @TotleyAC Thank you, Colin! And good luck with the race. It sounds tough. Hope you get good weather to enjoy it.

[Colin Alexander @rubberdoll82]

So @RoyalMail . If I pay enough for a turd to be delivered through every letter box in the UK you'll deliver it regardless of the objections of the resident.
