Give them a break
From Gina Tredwell Sir: I can't help but feel that Charles Moore (The Spectator's Notes, 2 October) may have missed the point slightly on the subject of Christian Aid's advertisements. It might be true that they've resorted to stereotypes to get their point across, and people are free to comment on that as they wish, but to end with asking readers to not donate to Christian Aid is hardly generous. To refrain from donating to an organisation that does a lot of good, just because you don't like their advertisements, is not going to do much for people dying of starvation. Does it really matter in the great scheme of things how Christian Aid convinces people to donate? I should think the people they help couldn't care less.
