To note, Hundreds of millions of pounds in aid

He simply can't help himself can he?

Is this his Presbyterian roots causing him to try to buy his place in Heaven through acts of charity and benevolence? If so, I do wish someone would point out to him that these theories in Christian teachings are generally accepted as being conducted with one's own money.

Sadly, when Cameron announced all his cuts yesterday, he confirmed that overseas aid would be protected. £10 billion a year FFS!

India has recently ordered £10.6 billion pounds worth of military aircraft. It has also bought an aircraft carrier and nuclear submarines from Russia. Despite this, we give THEM £1 billion a year in 'aid'!

We even gave China £500 million. A country with the biggest budget surplus on the planet.

I spit with rage just thinking about it.

Overseas aid I can accept. For countries who need it as a humanitarian aid i.e. there is a flood/landslide, we send in cash to buy goods to assist etc.. BUT simply chucking money hand over fist at nations who hate us I don't understand..

Finally Gordon has come up with a workable plan for creating the growth Darling claimed in the budget.

He gives them a £ in 'aid', they give him a Kilo of Afghanistan export.

All this aid comes with strings attached. It's either Winky trying to dictate foreign policy, or the other countries demanding aid in exchange for 'help doing business' (ie allowing us to do business in China)

I know, why don't you wait for the US President to shake the man of the hand who is standing right outside your front door.. Then, when he goes to shake your hand, look shiftily at him and shuffle past... That won't show you to be a complete t**t.
