[Margaret Pilkington]

aren't our lacklustre MP's paid out of our taxes too.......should they really be on holiday while the country is in such dire straits?
What about the money taken out of our pockets to be sent abroad as foreign aid...to countries like India...which is probably in the position to give us aid........and all the other countries who get aid and can spend it wherever they want, on whatever they want.
It would not be so bad if the aid program stipulated that the money had to be spent on British goods and services.
