British MP pays tribute to Geldof
A British Cabinet minister has paid tribute to Bob Geldof and said he (the minister) would not get up in the morning if he did not believe in the power of politics to make a difference in Africa.
Hilary Benn, International Development Secretary, praised the powerful influence of Geldof in making people sit up and take notice.
"But you also need politicians who are prepared to put their reputation and political commitment behind doing this," he told the ePolitix.com website.
