Post-Comic Relief criticism of David Lammy is a joke

The objection is not about what Comic Relief do. Since they were founded they have raised over £1 billion for good causes both in the UK and abroad, and that is worthy of praise.

Actively combating this torrid tradition would be a step in the right direction when it comes to overturning centuries of nationalist power play.

While, as ever, the money goes to worthy causes, the debate around how Comic Relief portrays relations between the UK and developing nations was long overdue - and may well have been taken into account ahead of tonight's telecast.
