Not the Soul Kitchen argument again... you really need to let it go.

It's a bit of a silly thing to say "Well Jon spends X on charity but earns Y and wants to spend Z on a football team". We could all spend more on charity and less on ourselves. Plus surely the idea is not just the throw money at the SF as that isn't the point of the project.

Jon and his wife have done a lot to promote it as a almost holy cause where it just isnt. I get that it is not about throwing money at it but again, he gets a many benefits from it on different levels. I dont know his true intentions and we are all different.



It would be a bit like being flattered for having an - in my case - exchange organisation for poor people, haveing a lot of people in my board of advisors who put more work into it, ask people to participate and take there money formy cause while I get a shit load of financial and social benefits from it and at the same time have my day job where I run a business -again with everybody around me 'working for me - family and friends and get even more money for charging high prices for my product because i know that my customers love me no matter what and hear about my charity all of the time and are even more willing to spend their money on it and in the end I get so rich that I have even richer friends who give awards because I also wanted to impress them and even more money because they know at this point I am famous and good for publicity and again, they might do the same.



And in the end i spend 90 % of my wealth on a football team and 5% and 10 hours on my community whereas my husband does a lot more and in the end I am the 'successful' one, showing up at all of the important events while I hardly do anything for the people directly UNLESS of course there is media involved.



I would feel hypocritical.

He does acknowledge his wife's work at the SK. Whether he spends 1% of his wealth on charity or not, or spends 1% of his time on his foundation work or not, or just leveraging his fame for good, doesn't really matter, if the end result is helping others - whether it's 1% of the needy or not.

You said it yourself - we do not know his intentions or what he is thinking, so why be so judgmental and preachy?

Agreed. Since your "Soul Kitchen incident" all you've done is come here and bitch about the same issues over and over again. Give it a rest.

When you talk about dignity, respect and love and then ban people for the sole reason of 'being a fan of someone's music' and reprimand your employees for not acting accordingly and because I, in this case, complained about it, it is wrong.

So when people bitch about Jon and Richie or Jon's voice it is ok, but when someone comes along and complains about how she felt being treated, it is annoying?
