it just seems what cameron has done is no different than if i was to get a bank loan and give the money to charity instead of feeding my own family.It just seems stupid.

im sure previous government has borrowed and given the money away as well but this way of managing our money is even more unacceptable considering our own countries people are suffering major front line service cuts which could be funded by the billions that cameron has given away since coming into power.

screwing over our poor to fund another countries poor is wrong especialy when the other country has a space program and a nuclear ams program

is this the list ....
