Do you know what the UK gives away to the developing third world ? particularly when we in the U.K. are so much in the proverbial mire! Comparative figures for France are £40 million , Germany £35 million....
The UK ?? ..... £785 million. How on earth can we afford this? How can this Government justify continuing aid at this level ? It's an all consuming "bottomless pit".
We have had over 50 years of giving out hand outs - we can't afford to morally balance the world.....
"Oxfam" should look back at the UK mainland instead of focusing thousands of miles away The 'so-called cuts' ignore the vast cost of the EU and International Aid.

A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight will surprise you! While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds,
1. | Don't change horses | until they stop running. |
2. | Strike while the | bug is close. |
3. | It's always darkest before | Daylight Saving Time. |
4. | Never underestimate the power of | termites. |
5. | You can lead a horse to water but | how? |
6. | Don't bite the hand that | looks dirty. |
7. | No news is | impossible. |
8. | A miss is as good as a | Mr. |
9. | You can't teach an old dog new | math. |
10. | If you lie down with dogs, you'll | stink in the morning. |
11. | Love all, trust | me. |
12. | The pen is mightier than the | pigs. |
13. | An idle mind is | the best way to relax. |
14. | Where there's smoke there's | pollution. |
15. | Happy the bride who | gets all the presents. |
