Anarchy in the UK

[Kwacky]

May has openly said that this week. At least she's being honest about it.

When she's not too busy doing the MayBot.

Which is why they carry on doing it. Its nothing to do with foreign aid but a simple 'you scratch my back...etc etc

We are just pawns in the games these **** play.

May is talking about giving £4billion extra aid money to African countries. We already send over £13 billion a year overseas.

It might be selfish but I think while we're strapped for cash we should postpone foreign aid and spend it here in the UK on police, schools and hospitals.

Depends on whether you think being selfish is a bad thing, I suppose??
Charity begins in your own home....not someone else's.
Don't make people comfortable in poverty....lead them out of it, etc.

I watched something on the telly a month or two back with an interview with a 20-something Ethiopian.

He can't remember the drought and famine as he wasn't born, and he feels the country is doing well now. He was indicating that he felt foreign aid was an insult to the people as it isn't needed anymore.

Foreign aid is taking money (taxes) from poor people in rich countries and giving it to rich people in poor countries .
