Missing! The famine promised by Africa has mysteriously disappeared. Can anyone help?
As recently as a month ago the media was heavy with portents of a dreadful famine destined to blight a mysterious country called "Nee-jerrrrrr". It transpires that this country was, in fact, the incompetently governed west African republic of Niger.
The predicted famine, which we were being told would be caused not by a lack of food (which was, in fact, abundant in the country) but because the starving couldn't afford to buy it (in other words an urban elite and their government allowing their rural population to starve to death. ...Is that really a famine?) seems to have dropped off the media radar. Cynics have suggested that the recent riots by "youths" (Muslims) in Paris, (and Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Greece, Germany...), murder of Anthony Walker, events in Iraq etc., have provided the liberal elite with more productive opportunities to slight Western civilisation.
If anyone finds the famine please post it to either Bob Geldof's London mansion or the five star hotel in Dublin owned by U2. There will be a reward of ingratitude and contempt.
