He is 100% doing this for clout.
Look at how quickly he was on Sky News. The awareness is already happening because of journalists and charities. It’s like white people going to a country in Africa or South East Asia to volunteer for a day or 2.
With his platform (if you would call it that) and his money (which he has plenty of), he needs to be building temporary accommodation, bringing trauma informed therapists and specialists to the area to support the children and families who no doubt will have PTSD, bringing teams of workers to clear the rubble, look for survivors. Some areas have no help at all.
This is an email from my colleague whose family are there:
I am emotionally drained and can't comprehend the sheer scale of the disaster. Everything seems pointless. Watching people's desperations and hearing loved ones being in agony is unbearable.
It is worse than what we are shown on TVs.
I heard from a doctor who is a part of group of voluntary doctors ( who are trying to help others in an organised way) that the city ( the half city is destroyed) where we lost our aunty ( my uncles' wife, such an amazing person) and her mother, smells of rotten corps and there are thousands of dead bodies all over the city. I saw on Sky News bodies lying on the payment and no one claiming them. It is not right. It is not acceptable. It is extremely sad.
Overwhelmed hospitals ( if they are still in use), exhausted staff and thousands of people homeless and in shock, in the freezing cold, without a shelter or food. The government was nowhere for 3 days. So many places have had no help especially villages. They are left to their own faith.
The WHO says they fear deaths amongst people who escaped the earthquake; some will die in the freezing weather conditions and some will catch diseases ( no sanitation, no water, no electricity, no toilet, etc.)
I can't accept that my aunty was under the rabbles for 3 days and waited to be saved. We all know that every minute is/was important.
My uncle and cousin did everything in their power without getting any help from the government, only on the 3rd day she was taken out while her mother was still under the rabbles, but died on the way to the hospital. Too late! Too devastating!
How will my uncle and cousin recover from this? They heard her cry for 3 days and tried everything they could to find machinery and tools in agony, anger and frustration that they could pull them alive.
All in vain.
How can they overcome this ordeal?
Yet there are thousands of people like them.
I can't just understand nor accept what has happened.

but hopefully the money ends up in the right places. He said he’ll post receipts and is happy to be audited, let’s hope that happens so everyone knows where the money goes (I’m always wary of GFM no matter who posts them)
) - he’s raised £60k+ in what 3 days? He’s over there on the ground seeing everything first hand and trying to help. It means a lot to him I assume because of his heritage and his family. I think fair play to him, there aren’t many people that would do that. Yes he may be doing it for clout but with his following he’s raising awareness and that’s so very important right now.
guarantee that all (maybe most or some but not all of it) that money will not be used for helping Turkey unless he hands it all over to a well established charity which would be the right thing to do. Greed is too much with these sorts of ppl. His head with be massive with all the attention he’s been getting. He scams ppl with his plans so he’s got no shame. Look at Ashley cane he’s got away with it and so will dirat. I’m not saying that it will all disappear. All he’s got to do is do the bare minimum and make out he needs this and that to help and boom it’s gone.
