Look after your own first.

Would largely agree with you, Ken. It's laughable that we're giving money to India - a country which has enough money to fund its own space programme, not to mention its nuclear arsenal.
However, I would like you to point me to ONE Labour party politician, either national or local, who is talking about cutting foreign aid. Not quite the done thing for good little Socialists to talk about things like that. Tell you what - tomorrow, ask Claytonender if she thinks we should cut foreign aid. She'll choke on her Fairtrade coffee!
