That is disappointing, unless of course, it is going to be managed in a different way.
It goes against the grain to be giving money that gos to countries who have their own space program.
It goes to countries that DO need the help, but it is unlikely to benefit those who it is aimed at.
Foreign Aid needs a radical overhaul. I don't see it happening anytime soon.

Good ole J.C. is saying classrooms are packed like sardines due to the Tory Education Policy,Well sorry i wish it were true, but from where i'm standing, classrooms have been packed like sardines for years due to Labours Immigration policy.they will probably call me racist though for telling the truth.
i went to a parents evening last night and everyone got held up and delayed because on person had to have a translator which although annoying was understandable
the kick was she was speaking English outside on her mobile phone afterwards
god knows how much that cost the school
Cashy, I don't quite see how Foreign aid will feather the nest of an MP.
Pakistan is a beneficiary of a large part of the funding, Ethiopia gets a fine slice as doe Bangladesh...and these are only a few I can think of.
I am not against giving some foreign aid, but it should be rigorously monitored to make sure it is being used to benefit those in need. It should be going to feed, clothe and house those in need.
Not being used to create an African version of the Spice Girls.

We have to wait and see what proposals are put forward.
Whatever happens I will not be voting for a Labour candidate. if all fails I can always draw on my ballot paper.

I might vote for a Labour Candidate if:-
1/ He/she is a genuine replacement for the one we have now.
2/He/she talks in terms that show him/her to be a believable representative of this area.
3/ I grow another asshole between now and the election date.
the word begins with B and ends RS
I think number three is the likeliest of those things.
It shouldn't cost the school anything. If the parents needs a translator, they should take one with them at their own cost
No, not in the least mate! It's a school in the UK, the language of the Country is English (or it damn well should be). That being the case, any sort of communication or transfer of information should be in English & if people can't comprehend why are they in the country? If you no speaka da lingo, how are you supposed to integrate & fully function within a British society???
what potting technique are you using and are they self fertilizing?
If you require a translator in France, for whatever reason, you organise one and pay for them. I think the same applies in Spain, perhaps Cashy can confirm.
Yep i was perfectly happy to do so when i needed one,at hospitals, electricity shops etc, I took the view its their country and i didn't know the lingo. People are on a damn good thing here, thanks to the stupidity of those that are supposed to look after us,

Speaking of which, the Mongsewers & Madmossels are off to the first round of elections today. I really do hope Marine Le Pen kicks butt today & sends the scummy socialists whining & yowling, tail tucked between their legs down the road to oblivion after what they've done to France & her people!
Don't get me wrong on this, like any good Englishman worth his salt I can't abide the sneering, self centred, arrogant froggits, whose arses we've kicked & then confusingly rescued on varying occasions over the years.
No,the reasoning for my desire to see a more nationalistic & French France resurgent is far more selfish than that, I want Le Pen to dominate in France to assist & expedite the "Shoving it up eu!" & removal of the hordes of "Rapefugees & Gimmegrants" skulking along the French coast waiting to illegally enter our fair isle.
Vive La Victoire! Vive Le Pen!
Who knows...there might even be a Frexit.
Wouldn't that be a turnup and a poker in the eye for that arrogant Jean C Junker?(though I have another name for him - not suitable for on here)

Possibilities abound! But the majority of the frogs will need to develop a backbone first or even a pair of nads! I think the feisty Mizz Le Pen is carting them round in a sack at the moment (the nads of them neutered Eroes de Rezisdanze). I believe she has stated she wants to call a referendum on eu membership, drop the €uro like a bad habit & bring back national borders & rapid deportation of illegals, all very laudable & to my mind extremely sensible actions, but ........... She needs to get into the Elysee first!
And the Froglings gawd luv 'em, are their own worst enemies as has been proven over & over again with their Gallic shoulder shrugging, lefty socialist attitudes of Lesby fair & sesspit lavvy!
Yes...but strange things have been happening of late.
Who would have predicted the result of the US election...or for that matter the referendum here(though that battle is not yet won).
If it did happen then I think the EU would disintegrate.

Looks like the Marine & the Front National (second with 21.7%) are headed for the run offs in 2 weeks time. As with the 2012 run-offs the FN qualified but the French sheeple ganged up on her & went with the usual suspects, hence froglands current state of disarray & turmoil.
One can only hope the froglings see the error or their ways & choose the sensible if not necessarily their favoured option for what it is, a chance to return France to its former self prior to Brussels diktats & demands.
