{UAH} Stacey Dooley Comic Relief documentary pics spark 'white saviour' row


UK LABOUR MP DAVID LAMMY FURIOUS. This picture of a Ugandan child being used by a UK charity to raise funds for its activities has kicked a huge storm, with its "white saviour" image, with the black Labour member of parliament accusing the charity of wanting to profit from the suffering and desperation of the Ugandan people misruled by the corrupt and feral regime of Kayibanda Museveni.

"The world does not need any more white saviours. As I've said before, this just perpetuates tired and unhelpful stereotypes."

The documentary maker defends the charity's film - while inviting MP David Lammy to travel to Uganda himself to raise awareness.
