Bob predicts Live 8 failure

Sir Bob Geldof predicts his Live 8 concerts and protest marches will fail to force the hands of international leaders - but he will be safe in the knowledge he did everything within his power to relieve poverty in Africa.

The Band Aid icon hates the work involved with organising such huge scale events, but he would have struggled to live with himself if he hadn't taken action, just as he did with 1985's legendary Band Aid concerts.
