| Description |
In a foul-mouthed comic tirade on celebrity and charity, Bussmann argues that Bono and Bob’s victim culture provides African governments with perverse incentives to victimise their people in return for aid money and provides cover for the perpetrators of war like Joseph Kony and their western accomplices by making Africa ‘too depressing’ for media to focus on.
Jane Bussmann is an award- winning British comedy writer, journalist and author.
