This is a link post Last day for downloads to get it to No.1
It sure beats normalising food banks and promoting YouTube and pop star careers on the back of starving children and deprivation.

This is a normal post OK, the self-promotion charge is fair.
In fact, it's equally as fair as it would be to level at "Kunt".

How is giving money to a charity "normalising food banks", though?

This is a normal post Dunno but I was listening to that Nick Abbott last night
and someone had texted in saying they wouldn't vote Labour because Labour say they want to scrap food banks, and they need food banks to feed their kids.

This is a normal post I have no idea what any of this means, but thanks for your input.

This is a normal post Oh soz.
Monkeon's point is better made.

My point was that food banks are already normalised, and campaigns to end them are seen, by some misguided idiots, as an attack on the poor.

This is a normal post I believe the argument is that
if people support food banks without also calling out the cause of food banks then it allows a government to ignore the problem as charity will cover it.

Part of the Trussell Trust's work is to "campaign for change to end the need for food banks in the UK", which I believe people like Ed Sheeran and LadBaby will be too media trained and publicly apolitical to mention as part of this campaign.

This is a normal post Presumably "Kunt" is avoiding this problem
by being opaque about how much of his royalties, if any, he'll be giving to charity. I trust someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

This is a normal post He's not claiming it's for charity, though, is he?
To announce that would turn it into a charity single.

To be honest, I think LadBaby is more thick than deliberate about it, and presumably he's got the number one in the bag (bag! like a Greggs bag! rofl) but quite amusing that he'd mention the opposition and give the publicity.

This is a normal post
Whether the Kunt chooses to give a penny to charity or not is entirely up to him. He has to eat three times a day and pay the rent like the rest of us.

I'm sick to death of this "it's for charity, therefore it's sacrosanct" argument.

This is a normal post That wasn't my point.
The OP seemed to be implying that "Kunt" has a purer motive than "LadBaby"/John/Sheeran, on the basis that the latter are shamelessly promoting themselves.

My point is that the whole lot of them are shamelessly promoting themselves, including "Kunt". If one lot are giving the proceeds to charity and the other may not be, it doesn't look to me like he's got a purer motive - he's only in it to promote himself, whereas at least the others are making at least a gesture at altruism.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not supporting any of them. Elton was last good in the 1980s, and I'd be quite happy if Sheeran, "LadBaby" and "Kunt" all fucked off into obscurity and stopped wasting everyone's time with their pointless existences.

This is a normal post Listen carefully to the lyrics
They might give you a clue as to Kunt's motives and the reason for our continuing reliance on food banks. Charities picking up the tab instead of the state - it's a Tory's wet dream.

This is a normal post I suspect it
is primarily a novelty record done for the laughs, rather than an actual attempt to raise awareness.

LadBaby's mistake of engaging gave him a good PR angle which seems to have worked.

This is a normal post Hmm I dunno.
Meeting with Jon Morter, following the KLF procedure, the savvy social media chart manipulation, selling the idea that buying his song will affect political change, creating a political themed battle of the bands contest... It all looks like a cynical cash grab to me, but I'm quite a cynical cunt myself. Especially at Christmas.

This is a normal post Yeah, I'm sure
money and ego are also involved.

I was meaning more what he expects people to take from the record itself.

Yeah, right. A bunch of well paid charity executives are not going to successfully campaign themselves out of a job. Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas.
