[Margaret Pilkington]

My point is...he is elected to promote the needs of his constituency....NOT Africa(Uganda and the Yemen).....and if he is off on a jolly in Africa then he is being paid by the likes of you and me and he is NOT doing what he is PAID to do.

Poverty anywhere in the world is dealt with by foreign aid budgets...and (I know this is off thread) goes to the wrong places...any country that has a Space program(like India) should not be taking money from our foreign aid budget...the other thing it is spent on totally the wrong things.

In my opinion, the money need to go to sorting out the infrastucture in our own country and dealing with the thorny issue of social care and homelessness.

But then that is another subject altogether
