Having met and interviewed Wally De Backer for the small paper published in the seaside village where he lives, I can assure readers that he is no ‘celebrity’ looking for a fashionable cause to support. He genuinely cares about the environment and those who devote their time to protecting it. He is a very intelligent, compassionate person who happens to have become very famous due to talent coupled with a lot of hard work. If only more famous people were prepared to give their money and influence to such good causes as The Thin Green Line the world would be a much better place.

God bless him, the charity and the workers and animals they aim to support. Fantastic to see a young, thoughtful, talented person putting their name to a good cause. It only makes me like him more.

Were there more of these people, the world could be a different place.

In contrast, Jennifer Lopez wears fur. Boo.

I wouldn’t worry about the comparisons if I were Gotye. Bono never put himself in the line of fire, and comes off as a publicity hound and tax-cheat in comparison.

The Thin Green Line charity sounds like good work.
