We spend 99% of the money on 'our own'. What's wrong with 1% for the rest? Morally what's the difference between a pensioner in the UK or a staving child in Africa (see, I can use emotive examples too)? Why is it being presented as either/or when this isn't the case.

And again. We've benefited from exploiting other people and countries both in the past and even now we're happy to overlook exploitation and abuse for cheap products or oil so I really don't think we can go around claiming some sort of moral high ground about helping our own. We would be a lot worse off if these things were really about morals.
