Do The People Out There Think Its Fair To Wipe Out Africas Debt When Over The The Years They All Wanted Home Rule From Us And All Have Made A Mess Of It Just Look At How China Has Come On It The World With Out Any Help From The West

Hmm, one wonders if Gordon Brown would be as understanding and helpful if, having spent all my money on guns and explosives, not to mention the tortuous expense involved in chartering aircraft to send Mrs Acrylic-bob on her not infrequent shopping expeditions to London, Paris and New York, I were not able to pay my income tax bill?

What do you think he would say to me?

we should wipe out their debt and also replace their govenment

because of the poverty alqiuad are finding it easy to recruit there so if the poverty was eased it would give alquiad less ammuntion to stir up hatred towards the west

there was a trevor mcdonald epsiode a few weeks back showing how unfair trhe current system and govenment was towards its own people

one coffee bean farmer workes 18 hours a day for less than £3.00 yet the people he sold to were making hundreds of thousands just for been a middle man in the selling process

nescaffee were the biggest offenders and were asked why they didnt buy straight from the farmer for a lesser price and were only willing to say it wasnt their buying policy to deal with the farmer even though they knoew he was getting ripped off

its not just govenments that need to wipe debt but big companys should be named and shamed or even bouycoted until they change their buying policys

only problem is nescaffee has me hooked so i cant bouycot them it just tastes so damn good in a morning lol but i would gladly give up coffee if it prevented another waste of space do they know its christmas cover

It's all well and good trying to boycott nescafe. Many midwives have tried it over the years, due to Nestle's appalling behaviour regarding baby milk to the third world. Nestle make everything from coffee to breakfast cereal, buiscuits, drinks, sweets and other household products. Many products which bear another manufacturing name are often part of Nestle, so a total boycott is nigh on impossible. As for Africa, what is the point in wiping out all their debt when their bent governments would simply run up another one at their people's expense.

In a lot of African countries, corruption is a way of life
