It is depressing that when the Government has cut public spending on local government to such a point that it is less that the 0.7% GBP that we spend on helping the world poor, the outcry isn't that the Government has made such drastic cuts to our public services, it is that we should be spending the 0.7% on foreign aid!

How selfish and self-centred has this country become? The 5th largest economy in the world, an economic system that facilitates and encourages tax evasion & avoidance to the tune of tens of billions and we begrudge helping those who have nothing .. shame ..
