I have to admit I have problems with that particular line as it could be construed "Isn't it preferable for people far away to starve rather than us?" However, mawkish and obvious though the song is, if it raises large quantities of cash for Sudan surely that's a good thing! And unfortunately given the state of the current state of the Top 10 I can't see a well-written thought-provoking song making Christmas No.1!
