Check this load of bollocks out. Think of all the lives thay could save in Africa for what this thing is going to cost. U2 have always been about Bono's ego, and now we know just how big it is
In keeping with Bono's reputation as the rock star with a conscience, the accommodation will include 34 social and affordable flats. The remainder will be luxury apartments, while a five-star hotel will be built in an adjoining building. thats the basement sorted then . A new tower of babylon inkeeping with the BS he babels on about , this story also linked on the same page
Bono under fire over £100m hotel plan
Bono and the Edge have been accused of presiding over the destruction of a historic area of Georgian Dublin through their plans to revamp an iconic hotel in the Irish capital.
A £100million proposal to redevelop the U2-owned Clarence Hotel was described as the "biggest demolition of protected and historic structures" in Dublin in 10 years by a conservation expert.
and this Bono knighted for service to Africa should'nt we just elect him president of the known universe now :rolleyes:

That's not the point, Bono is has bought what Arron Russo told them too shove up their bums. He is the Elites' poodle show dog now.
Am I the only person that thinks that U2 are absolutely shite and the Edge is one of the worse players of his generation? All he did was put a delay on some shit guitar lines and everyone thought he was a genius! I'd like all these people to put their money where their mouth is, care about poverty? Why the fuck do YOU not pay for? Its one of the biggest contradictions ever, multi-millionaire's telling people to give money and feel bad about having the 'good life'. Bull!
People are waking up more now, I hear this opinion more and more, and its just the start to seeing the bigger picture and thinking for themselves, it will happen, just hope its in time. Sorry for that rant. :D

They "honoured" Bonos work for African children last week in New York by holding a $10,000 per head banquet with lobster & champagne on the menu.

that makes me sick. why not have a $10,000 per head meal and just give them bangers and mash or maccy d's! save even more money then for the people they are 'so desperate' to help.
Or just donate half their fortune to africa/the unfortunate. (i.e. if you have say 50 million in your account, your not going to notice much difference if you ONLY have 25 million)
