Why does Britain need to dish out a further £52m worth of aid on top of the £13million donated by Britons to the DEC East Africa Crisis Appeal launched only a week ago, plus the annual amount we already give in aid to Africa, and the amount we are obliged to donate via The United Nations.?
How much are the wealthy countries of Africa giving from their Gold and Diamond mines?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.TH Seeing as how it's many of the older generation who have kept this country going since i don't know when, that seems a bit rich. And what makes you think its just the young ones that care, sorry don't buy that at all. Those who give come from all age groups, backgrounds, just because some on here don't necessarily believe we should just keep doling out money at the drop of a hat. Britain gives billions in aid, to many countries and has been doing so for a very long time, and if you look at many of the countries that have been given aid, they don't seem that much better off.
Actually Triggs, not all older people are money obsessed, I'm 50 and I'd quite cheerfully have my tax hoiked by £20 a week if it'd curb some more of both this country's and other country's ills. My MIL is in her 70's and she donates and volunteers as well, so don't judge everyone by some of the folk on here, but I agree on here there does seem to be a trend.

// if you feel the need to help then go and do it, I don't see anyone disagreeing with this? //
But we have jobs and we cannot go and do it. Which is why we don't mind our Government using our taxes to help on our behalf.
This whole thread is about not everyone agreeing with what the Government are doing. But the Government published a manifesto which that aid would not be cut, and the got the most votes. You are welcome to disagree with the Government, but you are wasting your time. Maybe in 4 years time you can try to vote them out
