how comes we can as usual find 30millions to throw away into some foreign cess pit ?
Total thrown away is now £170million (what % has been pocketed ?)
I bet some of these "rebels" are doing pretty well thankyou very much, with god knows how much stolen and stashed away
yet another example of the outrageous actions of a government who seem happy to put foreign citizens welfare above its own, in this case millions of which is to help the islamist "rebels".

Pragmatically, though, my debt problems are neither going to go away nor be solved for want of that fiver. Oddly, the percentage is remarkably similar to the amount we are giving to Syria compared to GDP. Certainly of the same order.
If I am going to deal with that debt, my best option is to go out, get a job, and start earning the money I need to pay it back. In the same way, if the UK wants to get out of its debt, it need to start growing and create jobs and pay and grow its way out of debt. Cutbacks where they can be made help, but charity is not a cutback worth making.

£30 million is pretty small fry in the scheme of things. However, I do think the Government tends to throw money to high profile causes (possibly because they want to improve their humanitarian image on the world stage). I have been to the favelas in Rio, the townships outside of Cape Town where you are lucky if you manage to construct a bit of corrugated iron to live under. I have been to Jufureh (where Alex Haley claimed to originate) when the locals were telling me how great their electricity system was that the charitable foundation had installed - even though it had broken down three years` previously and nobody had come to fix it. There are so many good causes around the world but you have to be very, very careful where you put your money. A lot of aid seems to be more political than humanitarian IMO
You may be searching a while, gness... the first time was way back, and I've apparently answered over 700 threads now. I post far too much...

I'm sorry if it ever came across that I was parading anything. I don't normally bring it up, but it seemed appropriate in this thread since it's about charity at some level. And my circumstances do provide a fairly close analogy, I think.

Strange how we can't afford to look after our own but can give millions away to other countries

"Oh Baz....my silly love...you missed the point. "
oh dear here we go
Ive not missed any point, its people like you that try and salve your own consciences by poking your noses into everyone elses business and throw money at them thinking that will make it ok.
heres an idea I'll keep my money in my pocket and decide who gets a share of it you throw yours away.

You've yet, really, to explain why we are throwing it away. Is it throwing money away to provide the humanitarian needed for the tens of thousands (or is it now hundreds?) of Syrians fleeing the country -- without food, shelter, water? The basic essentials? That seems worth paying for.
If money is going to the "wrong people" then we need to be aware of that and be more careful about where our money ends up. That is different from not giving any money to the needy full stop. This is where your views seem to diverge from mine and gness's...
