So, we're enduring massive cuts which are really affecting our standards of living, while Cameron and his cronies are squandering our money on...
...a 37% increase in foreign aid, much of which is going to countries who spend large amounts on weapons and even in India's case, the space race.
...increasing involvement in yet another bout of foreign adventurism in Libya which has cost £25 million so far with no end in sight.
...the possibility of donating billions to an aid package for Portugal - a country which has failed to introduce its own programme of austerity cuts of the sort that we are having to endure. And before anyone starts bleating about Darling having signed up to the agreement, the Tories' own leader in the EU parliament has said that the government could contest our commitment to this both politically and legally. The fact is Cameron is more concerned about maintaining good relations with Brussels than he is with the welfare of the British people.
But we're not finished yet, far from it. While preaching austerity, the government is endlessly inventive in the ways it finds to squander our money abroad. How about this piece of lunacy?
