    There is a remix version of the song coming out and Ed Sheeran isn't happy he wasn't asked permission to use his vocals from the Do They Know It's Christmas he was involved in.

    I say good on him. It's patronising to Africa that's in a much better place than when the original version came out. All the song does is make people think negatively about the continent due to stereotypes.

    Correct there's loads more to life. I think people are dreaming half the time.

    15 countries in sub-Saharan Africa are currently involved in armed conflicts and another 28 depend on food aid. But other than that, perhaps it is in a much better place than 40 years ago...

    You don't here about it though until it fits a media agenda.
