Open Question: why does the government not help its own people?

Quite interesting this (scroll down) actually what benefit is it for UK to give away so much to developing third world, particularly when we ourselves are so much in the proverbial. Comparative figures for France are Ł40 million , Germany Ł35 million....UK wait for it...... Ł785 million. How on earth can we afford this? How can this Government justify aid to this all consuming "bottomless pit" We have had over 50 years of giving out hand outs and all its does is perhaps save a few thousand extra people in such countries, which usually due to war, weather or famine means the good old UK has to pay to keep these extra people alive as well.......basically we see adverts of kids having to walk 5 miles a day to get fresh water....answer to that is: move nearer the bloody well then!!!HAVE THEY NOT HEARD OF BIRTH CONTROL,they find plenty of energy for that, if their parents didn't breed so much in places where water or food is scarce then even if the kid still had to walk 5 miles the water container would not be so heavy for them would it. We cannot afford to morally balance the world...so why on earth do we bother....Oxfam look back at UK mainland instead of focusing thousands of miles away We're "broke" & can't help: - Our own Senior Citizens, Our own deserving Troops, Our Orphans, And the Homeless etc. . .. . etc. . . etc. . . In the last month alone we have provided aid to: - Haiti - again!, Chile , Turkey , Greece , Pakistan - again. . .. amongst others Our pensioners are living on a 'fixed income' Receive no aid, or get any breaks, while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Millions of ŁŁŁŁŁŁ's And Tons of Food ALL to Foreign Countries! We have thousands of adoptable children who are shoved aside To make room for the adoption of foreign orphans!!!!!!!!!!! Great Britain - a country where we have: - Homeless without shelter, Children and adults going to bed hungry, Elderly going without 'needed' medication, The mentally ill without treatment -etc.,etc. YET................... They are requesting donations for the people of Pakistan . . ... A country that trains British Muslim extremists how to BOMB & KILL us!!!! A country that ploughs millions into its nuclear programme!!! A country with hundreds of millionaires who do sod all for THEIR own countrymen!!!. The same country that has passed laws so these rich people don't pay ANY taxes!!! The same country where most of the aid sent DOES NOT reach the ones in need!!! ...and we have - Yet AGAIN . . TV stations that are spouting WE are letting these people down!!! Whilst OUR ships And OUR planes (laughably some are Military ones) All lined up to fly and crammed full with: Our food . . Our Bottled Water!!! . .. Our New Tents .. . Our New Clothes . ... . Our New Bedding . . . OUR NHS Doctors & Nurses And OUR medical supplies . .. Whilst UK cancer patients are denied life saving drugs!!! And some of our OWN - from children to pensioners - go to bed hungry!!!... Read More »
