I’ve always admired Bob Geldof as a man who is never afraid to say the words that come into his head. He’s a tireless human rights campaigner with strong beliefs and the balls to back it up. Today however, I have even more respect for him having just been conferred with an honourary fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons or what he called “the Royal College of f ***in Surgeons!”. Kudos Bob. Anyone who can go to receive a fellowship and utter such words about the bestowing body while still attacking the government on its aid provisioning deserves a serious round of applause. You never get stories like this at the beginning of a week but always on a Friday, remind me again why I don’t like Mondays… 🙂 source: The Irish Times
