Who chose David Ginola to take on Dianaa role in highlighting the landmine issue and why?
He seems a bizarre and inadequate replacement to me. Kieran Miles, 29 Washington, United States David Ginola has not been taken on to continue where Diana left off but the press has in its own inimitable way chosen to highlight his involvement as if he had because they know it wiil sell newspapers. The French Red Cross was looking for someone high profile to help them in their work and a contact in the British office suggested David because they knew him and because he is French. It just so happens that he also plays for the English football team Tottenham Hotspurs which meant he was also able to work with the British Red Cross on the landmines campaign. However, despite the interest of the press, David is just one of many celebrities who support us in our work. Are you concerned that support for charities promoted by Diana will suffer now that she is no longer here? I am very cynical about the public’s commitment to charitable causes and believe that true altruism no longer exists. Ro
