Sport Relief

Sport Relief is a bag of self-aggrandising shit if ever I saw one.

The BBC invents a charity event, then proceeds to report its existence everywhere, and even people who have nothing to do with sport whatsoever start bandwaggoning the whole thing for all it is worth. Well Done.

You should all be knighted – especially Eddie Izzard.

Or not.

Charity should be silent. It should be giving everything of yourself. The shouty, self-congratulatory mutual masturbation that is Sport Relief is not charity. It is something else.

If you want to give, give something important, that isn’t easily come by. Don’t allow some celebrity to convince you that running a few marathons with a support crew, or putting on a 5 hour long bit of live tv that shows everyone in a positive light is anything other than a lovvie fest. Give your time to a worthy cause this week. Then go for a jog alone, or with a friend.
