THE demands of opportunists, abusing British benevolence, continues unabated. Meanwhile, international and domestic recipients of our charity are myriad.
We band of idiots are suckers, who continually offer succour, but never really ask why.
Even India, the world’s third biggest economy, with nuclear capability and a space programme, received £1.9bn of UK aid in the past 10 years. And that’s peanuts compared to all our charity over the past 60 years.
It might be noted that Cameron’s coalitionists, breaking ever more election promises, plan to spend £100bn annually on EU membership, immigration, asylum and foreign wars – £9bn of it in foreign aid. Meanwhile, 40,000 NHS jobs are to go!
