Foreign Aid question

[scothunter 12,609]

not everyone has nukes.i know exactly where idealation is comming from.we give them large sums of money so we can keep them in check.same as we did with the iraqi and afghanastan,trecking uo the sides of mountains with millions of dollars on the backs of donkeys.(granted that cash was from saddams only personal stash.its been going on for years.as stupid as it seems to me and you,it does have its benefits.like i said in a previous thread.this aid very seldom gets to where it is meant to go ie the poor and needy.its a bung,bribe backhander call it what you like.its sadly just something we in the west do.if they werent accepting the cash then we would be dropping bombs on there head.diffrent kettle fish with india and pakistan they have the bomb,so we need to take a diffrent approach with them.having said that they know and we know that they would never threaten thier nukes towards the west.it would be the end of them.they may very well have nuclear capability,but no where even close to the update nukes we have.personally i couldnt give a shit if they nuked each other tomorrow.

Giving aid to Africa is a bit like pissing into a gale force wind.

 

Let the c**ts starve, thin them out and maybe they will get on a bit better.

Found it quite ironic when i scrolled down to the bottom of the page there was a Unicef advert saying 'every 2 minutes a child in Africa dies of aids'

 

Coincidence

lol

 

as callous as this may sound,i couldnt give a shit how many of them die.its thier own fault.any african nation when they get a new leader,the first thing he sets about doing is robbing the chancellory and partaking in thier favourite pastime,murdering thier own people in the tens of thousands.name one african nation that has ever contributed anything worth while.?all they do is war and murder each other.they have never moved on from the past.

i think we should cut all aid to these countries then they wouldnt have the extra cash to be splashing on nuclear weapons, they will need the money to feed their poor and control their corrupt government, if we were to give money anywhere for allies we should concerntrate on countries which arnt so corrupt with plenty of space to have even more nuclear weapons. or mabey columbia would be a good one because we could tax the fellas selling all that ganja and cocaine aswell because obviously the opium fields money in pakistan and afgan are going straight to the taliban. to make the whole situation much easier we should just bomb the b*****ds and keep friends with american and get more pally with the chinks.

I agree with getting closer in with the Chinese, but why the f**k would we want to stay with the Americans ?

Why do we always seem to be in the thick of everyone elses shit?

For such a small place we really do poke our nose in too much.

 

We should take a leaf out of Switzerlands book.

 

You never hear of them c**ts

Well having had the time to look this is the best bit of info available at the moment, and i can say that this is truly stunning, millions to Sri Lanka, why ? they just got over killing each other millions to a Kenyan TV programme and 18 million for research into a cure for sleeping sickness, we don't have Tetse fly in the UK!

7.7 billion pounds per year given to anyone with their hand out, truly unimaginable, so here is the number

7.7000,000,000,000, that lucky scots couple just won roughly 161,000,000

Why does "our" government give 7.7 million pounds of our money away ?

I understand that we bribe some of the more hot headed bomb throwers to behave themselves but i think that we should get at least some value for our money

I am now of the opinion that we should use this money at home first, as i am no good with large number could someone work out how much is 7.7 billion divided by 68 million

what ever it is will be the amount that each registered person in the UK would get to spend, I am sure it will be enough to get everyone shopping again !!

I've pasted the info, it makes interesting reading

:thumbs:

 

 

"In yet another example of how British people are put last by the ruling regime, new figures have revealed that the British Governments foreign aid budget is seven times bigger than the National Health Service Deficit.

 

A˜revised spending budget released this month by the Department for International Development (DFID), which falls under Secretary of State for International Development Douglas Alexanders office, shows that the foreign aid budget for 2009/10 was £6.8 billion, rising to £7.7 billion in 2010/11.

 

As shocking as these figures are, the DFID announcement has deliberately understated the figures, hiding the true cost with an administrative trick. The figures they announced are only the direct aid programme, and not the total cost, which is called the˜Gross Public Expenditure on Development (GPEX) - and adds nearly £2 billion each year to total DFID expenditure.

 

For example, the GPEX in 2007/08 amounted to £6.027m, of which £5.2 billion was direct aid. The GPEX for 2006/07 was £7.4 billion, of which £4.9 billion was direct aid, and the GPEX for 2005/06 was £6.6 billion, of which £4.4 billion was direct aid.

 

All of this contrasts with the NHS deficit, which according to estimates, comes in at around £1.3 billion, or seven times as small as the latest foreign aid figures.

 

DFID spending in sub-Saharan Africa is projected to grow to £3.4 billion by 2010/11, according to their press statement.

 

British taxpayers have recently funded the following projects, according to the DFID:

 

- An additional £10 million to help over 2 million people displaced by fighting in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and North West Frontier Province (NWFP) of Pakistan, bringing British aid this year to a total of £22 million;

 

- Several million pounds for a television series called The Team in Kenya which shows how a new Kenyan soccer/football club learn to deal with their tribal, ethnic, social and economic divisions.

 

-£28 million for improved food security for Afghans. This is in addition to the £17 million already provided for emergency food to those in need. It also does not include the £2 million given to the Afghanistan Vouchers for Increased Production in Agriculture (AVIPA) programme which uses vouchers to distribute wheat seed and fertiliser to farmers across 14 provinces in that country.

 

- On 17 May 2009, the DFD gave a further £5 million in aid to Sri Lanka for food aid, bringing the total given this year to that country to £12.5 million. The DFID has already allocated £2.5 million of humanitarian assistance to Sri Lanka in September 2008. A further £2.5 million was allocated in January 2009. An additional £2.5 million was allocated in April 2009.

 

- On 15 May 2009, the DFID announced a new £18 million fund to boost the discovery of effective treatments for tropical diseases, in particular the tsetse fly sleeping sickness which is prevalent in Africa.

 

- On 16 November 2008 the DFID announced a new £220 million fund for research projects to develop new products to prevent and treat HIV, TB and Malaria and other tropical diseases.

 

Countries which receive more that £20 million in foreign aid from the British taxpayer are as follows:

 

Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Chad, China, Democratic Republic of the Congo, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Malawi, Mozambique, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestine, Poland, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, St Helena, Sudan, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, Vietnam, Yemen and Zambia.

 

In addition, the following ‘Regional Aid Plans also are subsidised by the British taxpayer via the DFID:

 

- The Africa Conflict Prevention Pool (ACPP);

 

- The Latin America Regional Assistance Plan;

 

- The Middle East and Africa Regional Assistance Plan;

 

- The Caribbean Regional Assistance Plan;

 

- The Central Asia South Caucasus and Moldova Regional Assistance Plan;

 

- The Western Balkans Regional Assistance Plan.

 

All of these aid packages can be reviewed on the DFID website .

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but a lot of the time its a clever way of giving u.k companies dodgy money.

 

You give a f**k ton of aid to a country and then give them a list of contractors that they can use for the projects they will spend the money on.

 

Them contractors are of course British, usually owned by some dodgy c**t, or his brother.

[Ideation 8,216]

My biggest issue with any kind of aid / charity, is that if we DO manage to greatly reduce the death toll around the world, we are proper f****d.

[secretagentmole 1,701]

What really naffs me off os the fact we give foreign aid to China, who then use it to buy EU Bonds, bit arse about face or what?

[Guest john5]

whats all this crap about india and pakistan having "the bomb" so what ? they dont have a long range delivery system

as for keep giving them the back handers so they remain good boys its not worth it , pakistan would have us dissapear under a musheroom cloud at the drop of a turban if they could , they are a worthless bunch of back stabbers anyway

nuke them first is the only way to make them listen

as for pouring money into africa this has gone on long enough , look at how much cristian aid money has been spent on arms and not the neady

you could pour all the money in the world into that place and it still would not be enough ,africa is always at war with its self , they have a revolution and called themselves the peoples democratic bannana republic and have another war

charity begins at home and we are getting to a stage where we need it

feck em all bring our troops home and stop giving hand outs and lets start deporting these fecking scum we have adopted

WE CANNOT FEED OR POLICE THE WORLD AND ITS ABOUT TIME THE BENT POLITICIANS REALISED THAT

[Guest john5]

there is one further point i would like to make

if we nuked pakistan and afganistan and a few of their neighbours we could create a giant car park

solving the european parking problems would be more worth while a project
