What a hypocrite

I’ll keep blowing billions on aid
PM risks war with Tory MPs

What an idiot David Cameron is in today edition, he has clearly stated that he will splash billions of OUR money to foreign aid, no matter how much of this country suffers.
I could not believe it, even the Tory support paper is making big headlines, it always amazes me that fellow members are asking where money is coming from to do this and that, yet he is cutting everything possible, yet he is quite prepared to give foreign countries money to look after the poor.
Some of these countries do not need this as stated in a national paper several months ago, yet we still pump money into it - most of this money falls into country where the money goes straight into the pockets of MPs there.
It never makes sense to me, this country is making cutbacks, hitting the poor, cutting the welfare system, hitting hospitals, hitting the police yet Cameron is gloating in the fact that he will send billions to other countries. The guy is nuts.

Well i have to say if this is true then he needs a slap to say the VERY least. Charity begins at home and i for one expect my hard earned tax money spent on the people of this country not someone else's country. Sod the rest of them our people come first.
And Arthur well done on the link, a well deserved thank you is on its way

re: What a hypocrite
I thank the members of this site for teaching me to do it, it took time, but l got there.
I will be totally honest when l read it, and it was in The Sun, lhad to read it twice, This is why l have a go, and now have found the answer, Mr Cameron is not at all bothered about what cuts Osborne makes, it hurts, and this proud country is allowing this thing to happen.
Yes, you might say that previous governments may have done the same, but surely charity must start at home, IF Cameron in doing this in the hope it will bring business this way, well he is wrong.
One of the countries he gives millions in aid to in China, or Japan, and they are the richest you can get and don't want the aid.
Doesn't make sense

re: What a hypocrite
Yep, apparently the UK has a 'moral obligation' to help world's poor 
No, the UKs government has a moral and legal obligation to help the people of the UK before thinking of spending money on anyone else......
edit......it seems that Cameron really is way out of touch with voters on this issue: link

Re: What a hypocrite
I was going to say, surely those who are struggling in this country, come first?
I mean, what about the pensioners and war vets who can't even afford to heat their homes, or cook food in the winter, then DIE in their homes?
Shouldn't that money be going to subsidise their electricity or heating costs?
We pay taxes to look after our own, at the very least, there should be an OPTION to decide where our taxes go, help our own people, or help other countries.
It's crazy.

Re: What a hypocrite
Cameroon splashes out with our money just so he can strut his stuff amongst the rest of the world leaders.
He thinks they don't realise that all he presides over is a 3rd rate banana republic.
Still let him make hay while his Sun is still shining because for him I fear the writing is truly on the wall.

Well the UK has made a handsome profit from exploiting places around the world so we probably do have a moral obligation to help the world's poor...

Re: What a hypocrite
I find the information in the media regarding giving aid to foreign countries will not stop despite an outcry from your fellow MPs and the cuts that you are making to the British Voter, and the worst thing possible is the smirk that your leader David Cameron shows is an insult to the British workforce. We are a proud country, but the comments made are an insult to the poor and needy of this country.
We are having to suffer severe cutbacks and lose our jobs, and yet you send billions to overseas countries - total insult to the voter
This is a copy of the email that l have just sent to the Tory Party in London. I am furios with this item. We are having to make serious cutbacks, people are losing there jobs, we have people living in poverty. And yet he will still give billions away to other countries from our hard earned taxmoney that we pay.
I think his motto is, 'l will rob peter to pay paul' He borrows money, yet pays OUR money oversea's.

I think it's time for an adult public debate to be had by our leaders and for full disclosure of what we get out of aid, our caveats, our usury and whether the money actually does any good, until this discussion is had we'll never know what's actually going on and will be left thinking that we only do it so our leaders can strut about on the global stage, which I don't beleive is the the case, I think we make cash out of it and are to ashamed to admit it.

OK i will rephrase that, i feel that the money that is taken in tax from people hard earned wage should be used to support the people of this country who need it. Why should we have to suffer cuts in our public services if we seem to be able to give millions away to other countries.

Re: What a hypocrite
I think the only thing that l can think about is the large contract that we won from abroad for fighter jets l believe - but we don't give aid to that conntry - do we?
Within the next couple of weeks, we will have the bitter winter coming up and the poor of this country, the vulnerable will be scared to put there heating on - will David Cameron think about giving them FREE warmth, l dobt that very much.
