The latest figure easily found is that 291,000 (as at 2011) people are in care homes.
12 billion divided by 291,000 = 41,237
We live in Northants and accorind to this BBC Web Page care averages 529/week = 27,508.
Cut the pointless gifts to foreigners and care is free and there is even money still left in the pot.. |
Iirc the aid to the rich country with nuclear weapons and a space programme had caveats in it that it had to be spent on security intelligence and sorting out madrasas, you know things for our benefit and didn't we kick up a stink when they had the temerity to purchase their fighter planes from someone else. There's always a caveat, normally to do with trade.

Why not stop and think about it for a second, the slime balls in charge of this country would like us to believe we really are that generous but we don't give nothing for nothing and we or our companies make money out of aid.
Don't let them fool you.
