Beste ixinixo
Een van de komende dagen komt er een intervieuw vrij waarin BoB Geldof geintervieuwd wordt, een klein deel is al vrij gegeven (men wil ons benieuwd maken over dat intervieuw. Zijn we benieuwd? Ja ja, zeker weten)
Als je niet vlot engels kan is dit niet zo erg, wil je of de anderen hier maar gewoon meegeven hoe papa Geldof reageerd op de vraag en dat kun je zien in de video

--> de kern van het verhaal zal ook wel zijn dat de moeder het beste wilt (in dit geval wilde omdat ze later is overleden aan een overdosis heroine. Ze had inmidels ook een andere dochter Lily en die vader heeft zich verhangen) --> de moeder bouwde ook een muurtje om kinderen zich heen (wie bouwt er nu liefst geen muurtjes om hun kinderen?, iedereen toch...) Hij adopteerde ook Lily en het is de manier waarop Geldof reageerd... Toch heel normaal, wat heeft Lily nu schuld aan die situatie, ze hoort bij haar familie te zijn, bij hen die haar kent en van haar houd (het is de manier waarop Bob Geldof dat vertelt waar veel boodschap in zit)
Op je vragen kom ik vandaag normaal gezien nog terug om er antwoorden op te geven

Bob Geldof has launched an emotional attack on custody laws that forced him to "jump through humiliating hoops" during his bitter divorce from his late wife Paula Yates.
The poverty campaigner and musician complains in a forthcoming TV interview that he was subjected to anti-male bias when he sought custody of his three daughters after Big Breakfast star Yates left him for her doomed romance with singer Michael Hutchence.

In an interview with American TV host Daphne Barak, airing on the eve of next month's G8 summit, he says the discovery that the law was "skewed" in Yates's favour - just because she was a woman - plunged him into an "ocean of grief."
"It freaked me out," he told Barak. "I could not live without my kids. I missed the sound of them turning in their sleep. I just wanted to go to some dark, grey corner of the world and howl into the void.

"The key in my pocket still fit in the door, but I was no longer allowed (to put) this key in the door and go into my home.
"It's very hard to get your head around that. I went to the door, and I was too humiliated to knock on my own front door.
"That's my house, my home, my children. I could hear them laughing in there. I was too scared of (knocking) and one of my kids opening the door and saying 'Hi Dad' and not being allowed to let me in.
"I didn't want to impose that on them. I didn't want it to happen to me. I didn't want her to come to the door and say, 'What are you doing here? You're not allowed to come here.'"
"So, I went back out, and I sat in the car and I just cried. I just stayed and watched their bedroom lights go off, and I went home. That shouldn't happen to anyone.
"If you put impediments in the way of men seeing their children - making them jump through all sorts of humiliating hoops - the kids become a weapon, a sword and a shield simultaneously.
"You're suffering so much. Eventually, no person can take that and the kids lose a father. It is hurtful."
Geldof, 55, finally was awarded custody of Fifi, Pixie and their sister, the model, Peaches, following a 1996 drug raid on the house where Yates and Hutchence were living.
After his ex-wife died in 2000 from a heroin overdose and Hutchence was found hanged, he adopted the tragic couple's daughter, Tiger Lily.
"What's she got to do with any of the mess?" he told Barak.
"She should be with those she knows and loves. She's a hoot. She's gorgeous."
