At 00:02:54,120, Character said: Two months ago,
there were 10,000 people here.

52
At 00:02:57,360, Character said: Now the latest harvest has failed,
there are 40,000.

53
At 00:03:01,360, Character said: There were enormous numbers of
people wherever you looked,

54
At 00:03:04,800, Character said: {\an8}camped out, swamping this, this...

55
At 00:03:08,120, Character said: {\an8}...this smallish town.

56
At 00:03:11,360, Character said: There was a low...
a low wall, I remember,

57
At 00:03:14,040, Character said: um, a little enclosure.

58
At 00:03:17,440, Character said: And there were some people in the
enclosure who were being given food.

59
At 00:03:21,320, Character said: All the rest of the people,
who had no food at all,

60
At 00:03:23,640, Character said: just looking at, you know,
the tiny number of people who did,

61
At 00:03:27,960, Character said: who did have something.

62
At 00:03:31,440, Character said: I remember this... terrified,

63
At 00:03:34,400, Character said: bewildered young girl

64
At 00:03:36,560, Character said: in this maelstrom of madness.

65
At 00:03:39,520, Character said: The choice of deciding
who came into the feeding centre

66
At 00:03:43,120, Character said: was really very difficult,
because there was

67
At 00:03:47,120, Character said: {\an8}thousands of people that needed
to come in

68
At 00:03:49,760, Character said: {\an8}to feed thousands of children.

69
At 00:03:51,920, Character said: I only had 60 or 70 places.

70
At 00:03:55,240, Character said: But making that decision day after
day, does that do anything to you?

71
At 00:03:58,720, Character said: Yes, of course it does.

72
At 00:04:01,480, Character said: What do you expect?
Yes, of course it does.

73
At 00:04:03,960, Character said: It breaks my heart,

74
At 00:04:05,520, Character said: but at least I can see some
of the ones that I ** helping.

75
At 00:04:13,480, Character said: That night, I had agreed to go to

76
At 00:04:16,720, Character said: the book launch of the stylist of
the 1980s, Peter York.

77
At 00:04:21,960, Character said: That was probably the book
where Peter York defined

78
At 00:04:25,640, Character said: the posh girls who hung around
the King's Road as "Sloane Rangers"

79
At 00:04:30,320, Character said: and the cornucopia...

80
At 00:04:35,880, Character said: ...of everything, free,

81
At 00:04:38,800, Character said: and talking about something
as hollow as style...

82
At 00:04:46,600, Character said: ...must have annoyed me,

83
At 00:04:50,040, Character said: that I was going around very angry
and saying to people,

84
At 00:04:55,280, Character said: "Have you seen this? Have you seen?
It's terrible."

85
At 00:04:58,560, Character said: I was just watching
that Ethiopian thing.

86
At 00:05:00,720, Character said: I think this is gross after,
coming out, after seeing that.

87
At 00:05:03,600, Character said: Oh, yeah. I'm serious.

88
At 00:05:08,320, Character said: A lot of people eating
a lot of food. I'm so sorry...

89
At 00:05:11,760, Character said: Sorry, do you want any champagne?

90
At 00:05:13,520, Character said: Well, I've limited myself to two
sausages, as a result, so...

91
At 00:05:17,680, Character said: People are going, "Give it a rest,
Geldof," you know, sort of thing.

92
At 00:05:22,520, Character said: I came down
in the morning, about ten,

93
At 00:05:25,640, Character said: and there was a green bowl on
the pine table in the kitchen,

94
At 00:05:29,720, Character said: and Paula had put a note
in there saying,

95
At 00:05:32,000, Character said: anyone who comes to this house
must put £1 or £5 into this bowl.

96
At 00:05:38,240, Character said: And I thought...

97
At 00:05:41,720, Character said: ...that's just not adequate.
