Public Spending...

[cmonstanley]

the thing is it says public spending it doesnt say about the billions its giving their mates in the private sector

[accyman]

i know its a crazy idea but how about stop spending money on other countries well being and spend it on our own.

no need to increase spending just divert the money where it should be goijng in the first place.

It beggers belief that our government sends money to ensure kids get an education in other countries while our own system is failing so bad

Couldn't agree more...its ridiculous that the Foreign aid budget is actually being increased over the lifetime of this Parliament from around £7 Billion per year to around £12 Billion per year!

'Over the same period, other recipients of British development aid have included Slovenia, Malta, the Czech Republic and Hungary, all highly developed First World countries, fellow members of the EU, and two of whom are even in the euro. In the last year for which figures are available, Britain also gave £380,000 in aid to the enormously wealthy oil sheikhdom of Saudi Arabia.'
Did Britain really need to give millions to the wealthy state of Singapore? - Telegraph

Yes, Saudi Arabia!

Read it and weep.

(Just as soon as you've finished banging your head against the wall.)
