Meece 1,958 Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) Why are we giving this amount of money away to countries like Pakistan which has a nuclear bomb capability and a space program? And others like nigeria that are a load of scammers. It's a joke when every system in this country is under austerity measures. Crazy. https://fullfact.org/economy/uk-spending-foreign-aid/ Edited April 10, 2018 by Meece Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,777 Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 It's the Westminster version of a middle class yuppie at a dinner party telling everyone he spent his gap year building a hospital in the Sudan. I'd decimate it and put it straight into the defence budget, ring-fenced for humanitarian deployments. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOMO 26,277 Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 the only time aid should be given is if theres some kind of humanaterion disaster..... as for our tax.....i watched the wright stuff some time back and they had callculated that if every person working and every business paid just 17% instead of finding loopholes...the pot would be overflowing with £££££ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

staffs riffraff 1,068 Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I think most of it is just oiling the wheels of the political and buisness elite as backhanders/bribes call it whatever but the huge amount that we spend should be A, agreed by tax payers and B, every penny accountable for. I do believe some aid is necessary but id say 90% dont get anywhere near the people who need it as its just used to buy influence and sweeten government contracts back for our politicians own and freinds/family businesses just corruption really Quote Link to post Share on other sites
