Are these MPs for real ? Is it April fools? I think the Queen can afford to buy her own yacht if she wants one ! Be good if she was subject to the same tax as the rest of her subjects too.

To get it in perspective overseas aid is 0.7% of our GDP i.e. diddly squat. It makes a big difference abroad and we can be proud of it, we're a very rich country. Yes we need to direct more to those most needy in our own country but that needs to come from an increasingly rich section of society, not starving Africans.

Maybe a MOD could move this to 'Current Affairs' , my bad...
