Never since the 1920's has Britain experienced a recession as bad as the one we are enduring at the moment.Times are hard for everyone,unless you're mega rich of course."We must tighten our belts ,we are all in this together" goes the mantra from the coalition government."If we are to get through this we must cut our cloth according to our coat.","Tough decisions will have to be made." Yeah we've all heard this kind of rhetoric thousands of times and I have to say it's now starting to wear a bit thin.In fact I'm starting to feel the blood rising to my head and steam is coming out of my ears! Why do I feel so mad? Well I want to know why if we are in debt up to are eyeballs are we still giving away £1 billion of tax payers money to fund India?

How can this coalition government ruthlessly cut services on the one hand and then hand over 1 billion to a rich country like India?Just who the hell do these politicians think they are?India does not need help from us.They have there own space programme,they have nuclear weapons,jets on their air craft carriers (something we no longer have)they even have an overseas aid programme of their very own and they now have over 800,000 millionaires.India is the worlds fastest growing economy after China.
Just to get your blood boiling here's a few facts about India.
1.India spends 23 billion on it's military
2.They are the 11th largest economy
3.India spends 2.6 % of it's national income on defence,when Britain only spends 2%
4.India has 69 dollar billionaires compared to Britain's 29
5.They are funding their first manned mission to space at a cost of 1.7 billion
6.India is the 11th largest economy in the world
7.India has 46.7 million high income households

| India boasts 69 dollar billionaires yet our clueless government hands over 1billion in aid every year! |
One of the richest countries on the planet and our dimwitted politicians still give them large handouts year on year!Beggars belief doesn't it?
In fact this government has increased it's foreign aid commitments by 8 per cent while slashing budgets at home.As a country we now commit 7.76billion on overseas aid.Imagine what that amount of money could do to improve the quality of life for people in this country.Better hospitals,more bobbies on the beat,affordable housing...the list is endless.
Foreign aid does more harm than good.It usually always ends up in the hands of corrupt regimes and is never channelled to people in genuine need.It goes on new helicopters,guns,palaces and limousines for evil bastards like Mugabe.Countries that receive these handouts then become dependent on it and get to a point where they can no longer be self sufficient.They become lazy,unproductive and just wait for that next aid cheque to land on the door mat.
We are not a world power any more,we have not got the resources or the money to go around trying to solve all the worlds problems.The government needs to realise the British Empire went over 50 years ago.We do not have any obligations to feed and cloth the poor of India or the rest of the world.Let the rich Indians look after their own poor.
We are simply borrowing vast amounts of money from countries like China and then redistributing it to countries like India.We should stop all foreign aid NOW!This money should be spent where its needed most..AT HOME!We need to start putting Britain first!
