I have been a somewhat unwilling spectator to the media circus surrounding the situation of X Factor reject Gamu Nhengu this week, with it making frontline news across the board ahead of two things which, in my opinion are more important. The Enviromental Sludge disaster in Hungary and the continued efforts to rescue the trapped Chilean miners.
These things are pressing issues, with peoples livelihoods actually at stake, of course those would say that Gamu's situation is in the same boat - Is it really? I mean yes she's facing deportation from the country she has lived in for eight years but is it as pressing and concerning as people potentially losing family members and their homes like in Hungary and in Chile?
I'm not an X Factor fan by any stretch and I never will be but it gets my back up when people my own age are all up in arms about a girl who wasn't good enough for a glorified talent show [Although she IS a good singer I may add] when there are people in Hungary dying from being exposed to toxic waste.
So please, for the good of the world [yes, the world unbelievably] please do somethinh about this girl, either deport her back to Zimbabwe or allow her to stay in the country as I am sick to my back teeth of hearing about her plight. There is only so much pity any one human being can give and i'm on fumes when it comes to this one.
You are my Sunshine, but you gotta go.
NB*
Can I just say that this is in no way an Anti-Gamu post, I just don't want to hear about in mainstream news ahead of other pressing issues. I think Gamu is fantastically talent for one so young, and hope she is allowed at the very least to stay in Scotland, but she shouldn't be allowed to return to the X Factor show.
