I understand the charity begins at home comments but you can hardly compare council houses that need revamping to families living like this





There are kids living in that. Wheres the humanity? Personally I dont give two hoots if we get some trade agreement or any agreement to do with terrorists in return for the aid money. We are all human beings. Forget the money issues, if one of your family were over there living in that would you have the same view?
