I was looking at some annual cost figures over the weekend and it is clear that the countries priorities are totally warped :-

Current UK Foreign Aid budget £11.5 billion

Cost of Social Security Benefits £160 billion

Cost of EU Membership £28 billion (plus bailing out the basket cases)

Cost ot proposed Youth Employment scheme £2 bilion

and bringing up the rear something that impacts on just about every family in the country

Estimated cost if Govt funded all elderly care £1.7 billion
