Cameron pledges £814m in aid.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13744922
How can this man be spending £814m in aid, more than any other country including the US..
Why doesn't he try help his own people first?
Cutting spend on this and on that to save money.. then ploundering it away to foriegn countries..
What I'm trying to say is..
All that money 'saved' from the tuition fee debacle, money 'saved' by the proposed NHS reforms, money 'saved' by various other spending cuts e.g. councils, adds up to getting spent not on our country, but on others!
Even though its not directly saved and spent from the pot, it feels as though we're having to tighten our belts so others can benefit.
I understand that as a wealthy country we must do our bit to save the children, the hungry, the ill, and the vulnerable.
But given that we've only barely gotten out of a recession, and everyone having to tighten their belts this figure is too much to be spent elsewhere than in the UK.
I also remember a while ago that we gave India a sum in the hundreds of millions (not sure how much exactly, but in the £100m's) EVEN THOUGH INDIA'S ECONOMY IS GROWING FASTER THAN OURS..
Would you spend this much?

More cash to go into the pockets of corrupt third world politicians.
We need to cut all aid.
How naive of you
We need to cut all aid.

Mixed feelings, I see your point however,
No one in the recession is dying of loss of cash, its saving lives.

Then enlighten me with the evidence please.

The list of articles, research and news reports on third world aid corruption is immense. I will post a few articles which are a fraction of the evidence out there.

If you had not read the ****load of evidence regarding third world aid corruption, then you are incredibly ignorant of current affairs.
You're that racist troll aren't you? In Britain every citizen is entitled to free healthcare and education, this simply isn't the case abroad. Even in British prisons people get free food, education, entertainment and accommodation. In other countries there's millions of people starving to death. Not exactly an equal comparison is it?

Then they should stop breeding like cockroaches. By giving out aid we are simply extending suffering by helping the third world create an unsustainable population. The only aid we should hand out to the third world is voluntary sterlisation and condoms.

A lot of the aid did go into handing out condoms in overpopulated areas. Having fewer children does not make a country richer in the long run anyway, so that won't resolve the problem.

No but it will stop people starving to death as a smaller population is easier to sustain in regards to the amount of resources that area contains. It would indeed resolve the problem. Or do you think breeding wildly and out of control is not going to have a negative impact on the third world.
Use your brain

You need to work on how you word your arguments so that you don't come across as a racist anus head. There are valid arguments for your side on the issue, so why don't you bring them up in an intelligent and thought provoking manner so that people actually take you seriously, you gimp?

I don't deny the evidence of third world corruption. I simply asked evidence of people dying of the uk recession. Please have some sense of decorum.

I never meant to say people were dying due to the reccession. I should not have enboldened that part of my statement

Not necessarily, it would increase competition for the resources and the strong survive hence why a country like India has produced so many entrepreneurs. Africa is sparsely populated in comparison. People have fewer children as they get wealthier so lower fertility rates are a symptom of economic progress rather than a condition for it. It's a bit like saying taking an aspirin everyday will prevent you from getting headaches whereas we know that simply isn't the case, people do it when they get a headache.
And stop making new accounts.

Do you honestly think africans are just nymphomaniacs that throw any self preservation to breed like rabbits?
NO! They have lots of children because of the high mortality rates. They have lots of children TOO SURVIVE.
Giving vaccines and ensuring more people live is the first step to reducing the birth rate. Then you bring in condoms.
Hmm, mixed feelings on this.
Although it will be interesting to see the responses. So many liberals and limp wristed pinko's (
Yeah, I said pinko) attack Cameron for not caring about the poor and all that jazz, will they attack this policy? I mean, these people are far poorer than them, and so many have those socialist leanings that they should be welcoming this move with open arms, hell they should even be praising it. But I bet they wont, just because it's Cameron and the Tories.

Compotition for reascources implies there aren't enough for everyone, and we're talking water and food that becomes rather a problem. Birth rates do need to be lowered, in tandem with better healthcare, and more sexual responsibility needs to be pracitsed.
