The UK is slashing aid to countries. I this morning listened to Today programme - Tory minister defending cuts to a UNICEF outreach programme to educate poor Bangldeshi's. £50k per annum. As presenter commented Billy Bunter fluse spends that on wallpaper. Minister waffled. UK is becoming sure a nasty state - true in line with the nasty Tory Party (aka UKIP lite) Lose all the soft power and influence - what for - to wrap up in a Union Jack on the poop deck having G&T's. Palmerston would b proud of you and those who support this unnecessary boat. Sad, sad days. .
Now let's see the UK will borrow an extra £270 billion this year to stay afloat & yet you think that giving away a further £10 billion is a sign of a nasty country, in what kind of fools paradise do you live?
How about you borrowing £270k to save your business & then giving £27k of it to charity!!
