    Dont stop Foreign Aid

    If the UK decides to stop or cut back Foreign Aid many lives will be effected we are being told.
    Yes one of the riches men in the whole world is telling us this.
    Yes he spends billions of his own cash doing great things himself, but he is still so rich its wrong.
    Maybe if other countries give a little more or start giving something to help the world maybe then it would be better.

    Have you ever wondered just how much aid the African continent has received from the world in the past 50 years? you would think people would realise by now the way the world pumps money into Africa is not working...

    Yes i have always wondered this myself, it must be Trillions not billions, but yet they never seem to progress probably most of it is down to corruption in that most of it goes to line peoples pockets rather than getting to where it will do most good. I notice we never seem to send very much Phills way, though its still needed in many areas for infastructure projects.

    Because we tried once to help or abused Africa just like India and every other county of the great empire and now we have to keep giving them to pay for all the mistakes we made in those countries, or something like that.

    So that we can waste most if on managers, and hiring Agency Nurses for twice the pay of employed Nurses ? thats the problem with these great Big Super Hospitals, they cost millions just to manage them, thats not forgetting the PFI private finance initiative which is being paid for over the next goodness knows how many years.

    Yes, I agree the 'foot soldiers' are brilliant and do a great job but there are so many 'management' hangers on they are killing the service, similar situation in local government...

    Teaching a lot of people in Africa how to use contraception might not go amiss.... especially those living in refugee camps and war zones.

    Why are we interfering with the balance of nature ?

    Why should I pay because some idiot can't keep his dick in his pants ?

    Family planting what a ludicrous concept



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
