Foreign Aid

[stevewool]

Is about time we stopped giving foreign aid to some of these countries now.
Where does it go and who controls it too.
Apparently we have sent it to North Korea, so they can make all these items of mass destruction, well if that's right surely it's wrong.

I suspect that some aid to countries like N Korea is strategic in a different way. We need to send our aid inspectors to see how the money is spent etc. Who happen to see a few other things along the way.

I think Priti Patel (I think she is the International Aid Minister?) has been given a more 'strategic' objective by Theresa May since she came to power in general. I'm sure we will see our aid expenditure being more useful in time.

We give foreign aid to anyone,we would probably give it to america if it asked,but whoever gave the ethiopian version of the spice girls 5.2 million quid of foreign aid last year should have been horse-whipped to within an inch of their lives and then sterilised so they didnt pass gross stupidity to any doltish offspring they spawned :smile:

I'm sure we will see our aid expenditure being more useful in time.

Will we, though? :icon_rolleyes: ... after Mar Roxas's gross misappropriation of the funds - we and others - sent in the wake of Typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines ... :anerikke: ... I'm NOT so sure about that! :NoNo:
