Re: Foreign aid - No cuts. But a rise.

It is strange isn't it? How long would it be before I was to end up in court if, instead of paying my taxes etc if I decided to give the money to a needy family either here or abroad?

I'm sure the Judge would righfully give me a darned good talking to about simple economics before passing sentence and slapping some order against any assets I may have.

Shouldn't this also apply to our Government? If we can no longer afford to fund the NHS and other services which surely is the primary duty of having a Government controlled by whichever political party, to ensure it's own citizens are protected against illness, disease & poverty before even one penny goes to other Countries, no matter how needy they may be.
