Have you just lost your job?

Do you see your child's school crumbling into decay around them?

Have your council been forced to charge, for the use of the children's playground?

Are you witnessing the closure of libraries, sports and childcare facilities, etc?

Don't despair although we appear to be 'Cash Strapped Britain', the good news is we have plenty of dosh.

So much so that we can now consider ourselves to be top of the World's league in dishing out foreign aid.

Now surely that is something to rejoice about?

It is something we should be very proud about.

Contrary to popular belief, we are a very wealthy country, and our money does save lives and improves lives.

All foreign aid should be stopped until we have got our own finances in order Charity starts at home, end of.

As usual a very liberal view on things.

But also take into account the lack of our money at home, costs lives and does not improve our lives.

Don't mind some form of aid to other countries as long as these conditions are met :-

1) We can be sure it reaches those people that need it the most.
2) The country we send it to are not using their own resources for other less essential projects (exploration in space and the military are a couple of examples).
3) Other countries of a similar wealth contribute just as much as we do.

If there are countries in the world who are sending aid to third world countries are they sending any to the UK now that this is a third world country ( well it certainly 'aint 1st world)
