#BBCYourQuestions your 3-part series 'Live Aid at 40' misses a huge part of the story. As the founder of Sport Aid and Run the World event in 1986, I hope to offer a broader historical context on the evolution of public activism during that period. irantheworld.com/2025/07/12/…

The BBC’s recent documentary on the 40th anniversary of Live Aid honours the cultural power of that moment. But, the world didn’t just sing for Africa. One day in May 1986, the world ran for it too. And that deserves to be remembered. earthdive.com/archives/2025/…

Daily average atmospheric CO2 levels have exceeded 430ppm for the first time since records began, and likely for the first time in at least 3 million years, “raising a red flag that today's fossil fuel emissions are pushing the climate into greater and more deadly extremes” . . .

Just when I thought the utter incompetence of @EE couldn't get any worse. It did! Not only have they billed me for a service they never provided, but they've just stolen money from my account to pay for it! Un****ing believable!!!

Absolutely appalling service from @EE. Miss sold Fibre 67 full works on the promise of HD/UHD channels. After numerous calls - each of which take about 30 mins to reach a human, I now discover their max bandwith cannot support their promise and never could! Waste of *@$*! time!

Very disappointed with @British_Airways I must say. Can't access online account for 3 months now! Can't speak to a human. Email links they send don't work. Forms they send for you to respond to, don't work. Pretty appalling . . .

The powerful energy of "Just For One Day" ignited a wave of amazing memories. Working with Geldof back then remains deeply etched in my mind. People from all walks of life came together - driven by a common purpose to make a difference. We believed we could change the world.
