No, not substance addicts, Hypo. Just feckless articles who believe that the rest of us should sustain them from cradle to grave.

We can; Elect Farage.

And another 325 UKIP MPs, 324 of whom would almost certainly have no parliament experience at all, let alone experience of being in power. But anyway.

The article cited doesn't talk about ending aid, but about the necessity for reforming it, which is perfectly understandable. Money spent on foreign aid as to be spent wisely, otherwise it's wasted (like just about all government spending, for that matter).

I'm not against foreign aid but I'm against the way too much of it is wasted.

Keep it going but spend it wisely!





That I suppose makes me anti British.

// Thinly veiled obscenities and accusations of 'anti' this 'friend of that' - a sure way to stifle reasoned debate. //

so far I can identify no reasoned debate
( but if there were - it would be short lived or still born )

Elect that Farage, drunk that he is.....please.

No, pull the foreign aid budget in by 6 to 8 billion and redirect it into national projects - minus Scotland, as they have had more than their fair share of foreign aid.

[Mamyalynne]

The veiled obscenities have been censored since they were made, so someone agrees with me on that one.


As to the OP, yes lots of Foreign Aid is badly managed and money spent on the wrong projects - that needs addressing.

"...but about the necessity for reforming it"

This must be the same sort of "reform" that Mr Cameron achieved of the EU, Jim!

As I said earlier, the abuse of the UK taxpayers' largesse has been apparent for decades. Those in receipt of it have been laughing all the way to their Swiss banks for years. Institutions like that are not capable of reform.

//Do you honestly believe, Togo, that our “underclass” would be ar5ed to take up “subsistence farming”//

//Who is it you are suggesting must make this provision or these payments, exactly, Togo? //

Lol what did I say whilst I wasn't here? Believe me Judge I am with the " we must be mad" or it is "deliberate sabotage" mind set on this. Why are we borrowing money to give to criminals or the better off than us?

Is this a crossword site or a party political broadcast
outlet?

[Baldric]

I think you'll find that Crosswords is just one of the Topics on offer Jj.

[ummmm]

Well it's not a crossoword site if you look at the topics.

[Mamyalynne]

You're in the News Section - Crosswords are higher up the list of topics.
