Just a reminder to the government that this money is for the hospitals not for any whim that takes your fancy.

He is a clever cookie; making a political statement without talking politics. Even the PM has felt the need to praise him publicly. It would be churlish not to.

It takes a thai rock star to raise funds for hospitals shamefull
