Here's a bit more about the bits you don't generally get to hear about, unless you listen very carefully to the Chancellors budget statement to the House.
The total overseas aid budget looks like this....
2011-2012 £8,550m
2012-2013 £8,813m
2013-2014 £11,554m
2014-2015 £12,162m
A grand total of £41,079,000,000.oo
of your hard earned cash to be given away over four years.
No wonder wee Georgie Osbourne can't find enough cash to stimulate the economy with.

Re: Down the Turkish Drain
But there are even more interesting bits the further you dig.
You know that place that used to be called Rhodesia? You know, the place where they want to dig up the body of Cecil Rhodes and send it back to the UK and whose president doesn't have anything nice at all to say about the UK? Guess how much we are going to be contributing to keeping him in the style to which he has become accustomed.....
You'll laugh...
Three hundred and fifty three Million Pounds
£353,000,000.00
just think what you could do here for destitute families or the elderly with that amount of cash.

Re: Down the Turkish Drain
And the Donkeys who infest Scaitcliffe Towers are making a song and dance about saving a couple of million. So selfish when there are dictators all over the world who are crying out for our cash.

Re: Down the Turkish Drain
To save anyone searching for it ill quote our local mp's response and also add that this is the man that said twice on here he would support a referendum
Quote:
Thanks for your email about a proposed referendum on Britain’s membership of the European Union.
Britain currently faces tough economic challenges, with high inflation, rising unemployment and stagnant growth.
Indeed, in the last nine months the UK economy has not grown at all. Over the last year only Japan has grown more slowly in the G7 and only Greece, Portugal, Denmark and Hungary have grown more slowly in the EU. One in five young people are out of work and there are now more women unemployed than any time since 1988.
It is in that context that we make judgements about Britain’s membership of the European Union. Labour is not opposed to having referenda on European questions when a Government seeks to make a major change to Britain’s relationship with the European Union. For example, it was a Labour Government in 1975 that held instituted a referendum on Britain’s membership of the European Union and Labour believes that if any future government wanted to try and take Britain into the euro, they would need to win the British people’s backing in a referendum.
But it is Labour’s assessment, shared by the leaders of all the main parties in the UK, that it is in Britain’s interest to remain members of the European Union.
Membership of the European Union is vital to Britain’s growth and prosperity:
· 3.5 million UK jobs are linked directly or indirectly to UK trade with the rest of the European Union according to official analysis
· European markets account for half of the UK’s overall exports of goods and services
· Eight out of the UK’s ten main export markets are in the European Union
We did not seek a mandate for this referendum at the last election and we do not wish to leave the European Union now.
We do not believe the case for this referendum has been made and believe it would create uncertainty that could put at risk investment in the UK.
Labour’s position is that Britain should be focussed on jobs and growth, not cutting ourselves off from major export markets that British jobs depend on. It is campaigning for that jobs and growth, and against the policies of the Tory-led Government that have led to flatlining growth and increasing unemployment in Britain, that will remain Labour’s priority in the months ahead.
Best wishes
Graham
