Charity begins at home. In today's climate, where our own citizens are having benefit & wage cuts, the fat cats get fatter. Our local paper announced that council employees will have their salaries cut by 2K per year, yet the top paid execs pay will remain untouched. Same in government, cut the peoples pay & benefits, but lets give ourselves a 30% pay rise. This country is not progressing, its dropping to the level of some 3rd world countries where corruption is rife.

Money we give in foreign aid is seldom used for the benefit of the poor. Its syphoned off by corrupt fat cats who use it for themselves.

If we as a nation cannot afford to look after our own then we should not be giving any money away. Cameron should realise that Great Britain is not so great nowadays, & our position in the world is not as strong as he thinks.

I have a son in Africa now, serving in the Army. He tells me weapons are so common there with unlimited ammo, corruption & rot is second nature. We are just throwing good money away, a complete waste, Its about time we looked after our own before we look after others.
