I'm pretty sure he said "fúcking", and I'm almost assure that he said "just give us the (or your?) fúcking money".
He wasn't speaking directly to camera at the time, someone else was talking, and waffling a bit. Geldof got frustrated with the speaker not being direct enough and interrupted him with those words - or something very similar.
Why are you so sure he didn't say this, nws? Is this an old controversy, where it turned out that what we all remember happening didn't actually happen?

Have a look on you tube. I remember watching it live

It's a bit like Michael Kaine saying " don't throw those bloody spears, at me." He never said it but you'd think it cos that's what everyone says when they impersonate him. When anyone impersonates geldof they say "potatoes".

Have a look on you tube. I remember watching it live Maybe what's on You Tube is the edited version? It was pretty big potatoes in those days, swearing on air - when he did it you could see the embarrassment on everyone's faces on the TV. And it was never repeated on all the re-runs, highlights, news extracts, etc - you saw it live or you didn't see it. And he definitely said it. I may have the exact words wrong, but he definitely said "fúcking money". I remember the shock of it distinctly.

Well done , now perhaps we can get back to drumming up some volunteers to walk to Hornchurch. I doubt if I could walk that far now but I'll try and see you all off. Good luck.

If nadine sold her stock of custard creams that would be another £160 on the right direction.
