Why do we give taxpayers money in aid to a country that has nuclear weapons, corrupt officials, Taliban sympathizers etc. IMHO it is simply wrong

[Sir Tigger KC]

With the state our country is in, ALL foreign aid is wrong 
We should be spending OUR money on ourselves.

How long before the Red Cross and there ilk are sticking envelopes and plastic bags threw the letterboxes or downtown Islamabad of Deli asking for them for any unwanted clothes or too to give ONLY 5 pounds a month to sponsor a British child ?
Lets get some adverts broadcast on all the Asian TV networks asking for there help to see what happens 
I think we all know the answer to that one don't we 

This stuff makes my pish boil

I agree entirely, our government should not give a penny in foreign aid with the exception of help in natural disasters. It people wish to donate to charites that provide aid abroad then that is up to them.

The government is planning to double the amount of aid it provides to Pakistan from £267m in 2012-13 to £446m in 2014-15, making it the largest recipient of UK aid.

What a joke this country is .

[alfie]

I'll keep this short,NO MORE AID.

[ted_one]

Makes you think what our corrupt politicians get out of this...got to be some sort of kick back in there some where for them

[cam2502]

Tigers gonads-- 100% agree with every word 

[ozzycat]

whats wrong with giving aid to people in this country instead of giving it to terrorist groups cos thats where it gose and corrupt officials

[Rods2]

It just goes to show how badly we are ruled when the scum floating at the top, think they have the divine right to steal our money and give it to whom they please. Foreign aid is just the tip of the iceberg, there is billions spent on economic migrants and their benefits, social workers, language translators, pay into the system for 6 months and get the full benefits, social housing queue jumpers, NHS health tourists, EU child benefits to far off countries, gangs who come here to steal like Romanian pick pockets, who then get kept at HMP at our expense etc, etc.

Just accept the English are the WORLD's biggest mugs because we put up with it, so just get the vaseline out, bend over and let the rest of the world continue to give us a right financial mugging royal rogering. 

The ONLY party that will change some of this is UKIP, so vote UKIP.
