It is difficult to understand probably because you have federal parties which put Canada first...while over here it seems that we have parties who put everyone else first, and poor old Uk citizens last, and then they wonder why we are sick of just getting the crumbs.

We have been giving India( a burgeoning economy ) £280 million in aid...there is no rider that the aid is spent on Uk products and services( which would help sections of the economy to grow) Anyway, it has been announced that this aid is going to be drastically cut......but the money will still go overseas...probably to some Rwandan despot to spend on his private fleet of jets.

The money could be better used to provide better staffing levels in hospitals(removing people form the unemployment register) improving local economies by giving people a wage...money to spend......these people would also be off benefits and paying taxes.......something that HMRC should be encouraging the multi national conglomerates to do...but no.....the money goes overseas with no directives on how it could be spent.
So we are properly peed off about a lot of things...but the EU comes at the top of my list.
I WILL vote for ANY party that gives us a vote on our membership...not just promises a vote, we have followed that carrot before..it led nowhere.
Now my blood pressure is up......I'm off to find some calm...do we still have a calm room here?
