Re: The Budget

Has anyone looked at their new tax codes yet! Seems that the thieving toe rags are bent on extracting even more from those in receipt of pensions.

We have people dying needlessly in these countries. I'm all for putting our own people first, but we're not dying on mass of easily curable diseases. It helps us in the long term if we can support other economies development and human life.

We also have people dying needlessly in this country, cancer patients being denied life saving drugs being just one example. Is it not right and proper that we look after our own people first? I certainly think so.

Re: The Budget

Re: The Budget

Lets be honest here andrew, you have continuously bitched about the national debt, so why when the nations in such dire straights, do ya not really wish to reduce the debt, by a method which is less damaging to our people? cuts are coming in the NHS,Education, Armed forces etc etc, why not protect them as far as possible?

We're spending less than 0.7% of gross national income on saving lives of people, human beings, from illnesses we can cure by visiting our local pharmacy. Helping the international community develop is not only the right thing to do, but it helps our economy in the long run by them being a trading partner.

We should protect the NHS budget, yes. As for the rest I think cuts are required. Labour agree and want to cut 'deeper and tougher' than Margaret Thatcher. I don't think we should cut international aid, because there are savings we can make at home that won't kill people.

Re: The Budget

International aid should be kept.. we are talking about a very small percentage of national income.. like under 2%.. you may be able to set up a few satelite dishes for that money in Britian, but it could mean water and a decent start for some kids on this planet.

Are you suggesting that you'd prefer to first hug-a-hoodie at home, rather than abroad?



I think a very popular concept, dear to the heart of the majority of British people, is that primarily charity begins at home, and only after your own house is in order, can you think about helping others.

Not many politicans seem to have grasped that that is a vote winner.

Seem to remember a few years back the UK gave a few million £s to India for development aid and they spent it buying fightger planes from Russia , caused a few "raised eyebrows" at the time , but the aid continued

Or it might, as many people fear, mean a few more gold taps in a despot's mansion, or arms for an autocrat's soldiers, to keep his people from being free.
