Some of it never gets to the people it is intended for, yes, buying such fripperies as Diamonds, (something I do every day, it's that QVC channel I can't resist it), can line the pockets of some Dictators, (other dictators have to rely on oil or food that could have lifted their people away from starvation).

But wouldn't it be nice if some Countries did what India has suggested?
India tells UK to turn off the aid tap already
