Re: Charity begins-where?

Don't worry, along with the near three hundred million quid we give to space race India, we also donate another £15 million courtesy of the BBC licence fee.

The money is used wisely. For example to employ a bathing beauty queen, to urge others to use johnnies.

How the BBC spends Britain's international aid - Telegraph

As usual our politicans are acting like prefects in some suburban grammar school.

No one is arguing that aid should cease altogether. Just that it should be cut by the same percentage as we face in spending at home.

Sadly, as usual, those sat in the prefects' common room know best. Choosing to ignore what everyone else thinks.
