We paid hundreds of thousands of pounds in 'foreign aid' to Saudi Arabia in 2008!

I think the government have sorely underestimated the public mood on this one.

It just seems very wrong that our foreign aid budget is protected from similar spending cuts we're having to endure at home, and instead is actually having it's budget massively increased.
