Weihrauch17 Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 (edited) Quite unbelievable, they give us Covid and we give them aid. We are also giving £12 Billion to Foreign countries for Climate Change, any black hole Reeves twitters on about is entirely of her own making along with the ridiculous Public Sector pay rises she is throwing around like Confetti. Inflation will shoot up and interest rates will rise and we all be worse off. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/21/taxpayers-fund-chinese-opera-foreign-aid-richer-regions-uk/ Edited August 21 by Weihrauch17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39TDS Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 It isn't aid it is bribes given a different label. People get their knickers in a twist thinking we are giving aid to other countries when in reality it is bribes that oil the wheels of commerce. Get your knickers in a twist over the corruption on both sides involved in that if you want something to focus on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuarta Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 There are lots of poorly paid civil servants working/shirking from home in their jim jams distributing this tax money. Stop the aid and they would have nothing to do. We have to keep them gainfully 'employed' or the poor dears might have to work in the real world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 Foreign Aid is another one of those crazy things that you couldn't make up We hand over large amounts of money for these projects but then never oversee them to check how (or even if) the money is being spent. We don't ask for accounts or receipts. There is no follow up and that is negligence in my opinion. Some years back we gave money, and it was huge amount, to build schools for the street poor kids in India. Later a journalist checked up on it and found none of the schools had ever been built and the charity that was supposed to be building them had vanished. If indeed it had ever existed. What is criminal is that until it was brought to their attention the Foreign Aid committee was totally unaware that it had been scammed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
