chartpolski 25,276 Posted August 22, 2024 Report Share Posted August 22, 2024 There was a case not long ago where we funnelled £40 million through some QANGO to build a series of Marie Stopes birth control centres in China. China has the worlds second biggest GDP, why can’t they pay for it themselves ? Another anomaly is that China is worried about its declining birth rate , so why are we building birth control centres for them ? There birth rate is falling without our help, unless it’s some cunning plan to reduce their population to a point where we won’t actually have to go to war with them ! LOL ! Cheers.

Expand And you are naive enough to believe that nobody was getting any backhanders out of it mate? Again, hate the player, not the game. If a government is corrupt, do you think they would stop robbing us blind if we stopped all foreign aid? Lol You're just posting sensational examples and are missing out on the fact that it can and does offer economical, political and strategic long term potentials.

Foreign aid isn't just a charity that gives away money with nothing in return, it is also used as a business model, a model used the world over. Expand What do we get in return for giving the Chinese Opera £200,000 ? Someone in the charity business said last night that one anti malaria injection costs £2, why couldn’t that money be spent on saving 100,000 lives instead of going to an opera in the worlds second richest country ? I found it hard to disagree. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're failing to understand the wider implications mate, I'm sure if you read in to it you would understand more. Expand I understand the reasons why foreign aid is given, it doesn't mean I have to agree to be happy funding it. Whether its for the Taliban Equality and Diversity training or some corrupt politician to line the pockets of a foreign government so he can make millions on a dodgy PPE contract, all British tax payers money should be used for the safety and well being of the people of this country first and foremost. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are spending billions of pounds on overseas aid, money that we are borrowing and paying interest on, and it won’t make one iota of difference to world poverty. Why are we doing this ?
