INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT SECRETARY JUSTINE GREENING |
UPDATE: 14 August 2013 -- In Somalia A £500,000 worth of food storage was destroyed. It was paid for by Foreign Aid. Everybody knows that Somalia is a lawless country and the full Foreign Aid must go straight to equip their lawless army. Why spent money when families in the UK are in great poverty and will be even worse off with all the energy -, food -, petrol - and railways - prices increase.
£1billion to Nigeria which is a oil rich country with a rocket and space programme while UK's disability benefit, child care benefit and pension were cut.
Again the promise given by Ms Greening to cut Foreign aid was not fulfilled.

PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS. THANK YOU.

UPDATE: 27 February 2013 -- India was making fun of the previous £250,000 Foreign Aid contribution calling it 'chicken feed'. Developed a nuclear rocket and nuclear weapons and now Prime Minister David Cameron promised £1billion for some grandiose plan of building cities between Bombay and Bangalore which most properly will never be build. Furthermore, it is not for housing the poor. Is there any credit to be given to him?
UPDATE: 24 January 2013 -- Hopefully they have the sense to stop Foreign Aid to Libya, Mali and Algiers after those terrible murders.
It is more than overdue to stop Foreign Aid. Even
the UN advising to stop aid to some countries and many other countries are stopping
it. So why is Britain so determined to carry on?
India has always been rich but their corruption and
greed is keeping the money to go to the needy. Although it is decided by
International Development Secretary Justine Greening to stop Foreign Aid to
India but not before 2015. It looks a
double sided decision. The aid should be stopped now since India can afford
nuclear rockets which even Britain can’t. Then there is the question about year
2015? Since the general election is due in 2015 would it not be possible and it
most properly is that the decision will be reversed. This decision looks like more
to pacify the public than being effective.
This country is in dire need of money now and the Foreign aid to India
would help in many areas.
Then there is Rwanda and at least Ms Greening had
the sense to stop it. There are many other countries which use the money either
for their own luxurious lifestyle and supply their military to fight civil
wars to keep the present government in power. Nothing whatsoever goes to the people who it is aimed for. There is even Foreign Aid given to oil rich
countries.
This Foreign Aid had been given since the early
sixty. According to this if it would have been passed on there should be any poor people
any more or very few. It is evidently that the money was never passed on. Yet,
there is no government who has the courage to say enough is enough. Even the UN
which started it begins to see the light and advice governments not to send aid
to certain countries.
WHY
IS BRITAIN STILL DOING IT IN SPITE OF ALL THE EVIDENCE AND THE ECONOMIC
HARDSHIP IN THIS COUNTRY?
REALPOLITIK (NO OFFENCE INTENDED): Foreign aid is about influence peddling more than anything else. When you say that Britain can no longer afford foreign aid what you are really saying is unlike America or China Britain can no longer pay to play, which will eventually mean lost contracts and a loss of access to natural resources that British companies need to manufacture modern goods, eventually, leading to a relative decline in British power and global clout. Relegating your country to what it would have been without her empire a middling Northern European third rate power like Denmark or Sweden.
ReplyDeleteForeign aid supposed to improve the life of the poor people as far as I understand. I am against Foreign aid being paid to countries which uses it for their luxurious life style and equipping their military to fight a civil war. Also India having enough money to built a nuclear rocket. India itself stated that Foreign aid should be changed into exchanging goods which is fairer and as you stated as well. But Foreign aid just given and the poor never improve is wrong.
