Do you feel comfortortable supporting a worthy cause on a service provider that has encouraged/ denied child abuse?

You pay your annual fee, is it right?

If you ignore the Daily Mail hyperbole, encouraged FFS! then yes, people can both be appalled at what went on twenty years ago and what great work CiN does now.
If they can't they are planks.

No. Whatever has happened in the past taints the corporation for ever, and no amount of money raised can ever help anyone ever.

Stupid question.

My nomination for dumbest, most idiotic post of 2012. Whether you win or not - well done

I think we should just point out the sheer hypocrisy of the Daily Mail on this entire issue, since it effectively encourages a spot of 'perving' over underage girls (and the occasional boy) and makes money out of it.

Can you point me in the direction of the "BBC guide to abusing children" or "alternative ways for viewers to win a Blue Peter badge" list?

what I do not feel comfortable with is a load of multi multi multi millionaires telling the general population about how donating "just £5" can change a childs life. So f'k off Bono and take Geldolff with you. As for you Wogan, you're an ameiable bloke, but stop the preaching.

It's a fairly simple question, who would get more donations you or Bono?

Anything else is a strawman.
