Earning money from, and supporting, a system that keeps these people in poverty in the first place and then gives them some of the profits in the form of strings-attached aid or World Bank and IMF loans is no more ridiculous than Shell or Esso giving Greenpeace or Friends of the Earth £10,000 to help clear up the destruction that they inevitably cause. Would it not be better not to cause the destruction in the first place?

Many a rich man’s bed is bigger than many a poor woman’s bedroom; his bedroom, her house.
