No. I absolutely don’t think that I am.
Enjoyed the BAFTAs this evening.
One stand out though, when the documentary awards were given out.
The winner told me that 1 in 5 children on this planet are living with war.
I in 5. Stop and think about that for a moment.

The latest worldwide figures show that 400 million children live below the poverty line and 52 million children live in a war zone.

In the UK 4.5 million children live in poverty. Seven out of ten households in poverty have one or more parent who is in work.

We have all this advanced technology. We send people to the moon. But we can't stop fighting wars or do anything about mass poverty.
