Currently the article states "all contributions going towards battling the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa". Exactly where are the 'contributions' going to? The statement doesn't say, which is a lack of clarity and almost meaningless. 80.229.154.174 ( talk) 09:59, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
In the UK, there was some media criticism of rich celebrities – some with questionable tax affairs - asking ‘ordinary’ people to give to charity via Band Aid 30. Examples of the debate include, for instance: http://www.theguardian.com/theobserver/2014/nov/15/should-band-aid-be-resurrected-debate and http://www.theguardian.com/media/mediamonkeyblog/2014/nov/17/bob-geldof-cut-off-by-sky-news-for-saying-bollocks-twice. Of course, the charitable cause itself was beyond criticism and no one wanted to undermine the efforts to support it.
However, moments after taking part in recording a song calling on people to make a donation to ‘heal the world’ and ‘feed the world’ vBlogger Alfie Deyes saw no contradiction in flying in a private helicopter to a multi-millionaire’s private country estate for lunch and admiring the indoor swimming pool, arcade games room, home cinema etc. He posted the film himself, so the facts aren’t in doubt. The contradiction was addressed directly by Private Eye magazine and more obliquely referred to as “The Band Aid supergroup show us their bizarre behind-the-scenes helicopter trip to the head of Freud Communications, Matthew Freud's, enormous house. It has Vespas, pigs and strawberries” on the New Statesman website http://www.newstatesman.com/media-mole/2014/11/watch-bizarre-band-aid-behind-scenes-video. It was also reported by less reliable sources eg http://www.buzzfeed.com/richardhjames/youtube-stars-record-band-aid-30-single-then-jump-in-helicop
I propose adding something along the lines of the following: “Immediately after the recording, Deyes filmed video footage of him and friends travelling by private helicopter from the recording studios to lunch at Burford Priory, an Oxfordshire country estate owned by Matthew Freud. The video also showed a tour of the estate’s swimming pool, arcade machines, home cinema and extensive farmland”. [1] [2]
