Re: so..
I agree with Accyman even if that seems quite at odds, we do spend far too much money outside of this country when people here need that support. I read that the amount spent on fighting teh drug trade is 2x what it would cost to actually buy teh whole output of afghanistan ( where 90% of UK heroin comes from) and destroy it (or controversially give it away in controlled centres, if you want it and can get it for nowt why bother stealing/mugging/etc ).
The war in Iraq/Afghanistan costs enough that we could make a massive cut in the tax on Petrol/diesel and still be in pocket.
Yes, when we can afford it lets do what we can, when times are tough you cut your cloth accordingly and right now times ARE tough and need to be to fix the excess that people have enjoyed on borrowed money for the last 10 years.
