YOUR CHOICE?
The Eye has been very busy in recent days helping me over on the new site for A Tangled Web so I wanted to offer up a few helpings here as my way of thanks. Here’s a no-brainer for you.
The £3.1billion earmarked for extra foreign aid could have kept the Royal Navy’s doomed 80-strong Harrier jump jet fleet in the air for 20 years.
So WHY is Cameron allowing this colossal waste of our cash to be sent to prop up foreign tryrants when it could be so much better employed here at home? Is this a sop to Clegg and co or does Cameron genuinely think it better to transfer Cash to Tyrants than use it to support our military? Why does the Conservative Party think it better to lavish ££billions in this way?
Telegraph reports that, after India, the second highest recipient of our largesse is Ethiopia (not that I can recall any post-colonial responsibilities there), a country whose insurrectionist Govt recieved 97% of the vote last time they bothered to ask.
“So WHY?” – Because he’s a monumental fuckwit, that’s why…
Having had a massive influx of money, you’d think Ethiopia had been given enough chances to get it’s act together. But no, a long running war with Eritrea over 3 mud villages remains their main objective.
Time to cut the aid to dictators and despots.
I think we’re all on exactly that page 🙂
