We may be bankrupt, but we can still pretend we are Lady Bountiful, I suppose.
Chipping in a few quid following a natural disaster is one thing but ringfencing it and then giving millions to places such as India with their own space program is not my idea of charity.

Great Britain is broke, unemployment rising, frontline services facing severe cuts but can you imagine the unimaginable damage it would cause if someone said the government was racist?

That bloody word is the most powerful weapon on Earth and Great Britain seems defenceless against it.
