Ummmm... I agree with what you said about the ignorance. But on the flip side, Tony's daughter would still be alive today if she'd been given Herceptin. It was deemed too expensive. Yes, I'm all for helping out people in developing countries. But to give aid to a country like Sudan who wanted to publicly flog an English school teacher for allowing one of her pupils to name a teddy bear Mohammed really gets in my crawl.

I don't think the fact the countries in an impoverished state has anything to do with it doc. The devastation is so huge and on such a scale that I doubt many countries would be able to recover without the financial aid from others, including us here in the UK.
I like to think that if (God forbid) anything happened here on that scale, that others would help us.
It's called being human and compassionate.

Quite interesting to see the little kids in Haiti in really clean clothes still managing to get to school. In contrast to the grubby toe-rags in UK inner cities who are so impoverished they can't be bother going to school and sit around watching day time tv on the family widescreen before going out to nick a moutain bike and a couple of mobile phones on the way to the chippy.

Yes, there will be people making money out of this disaster, but you only have to watch the television to see that a lot of people that are benefiting by getting food and medical supplies. If we ease some suffering to these poor people surely that is enough.
We moan about this country - and I agree that there is poverty and unfairness (etc.), but compared to what is happening in Haiti we are so, so lucky.
