All countries should give..
These tough times have been in the making since 2008. Denial with debt levels ratcheting up, whilst pretending value was being added to economies, wasn't ever going to end well. Globally, there has been dangerous reductions in foreign aid for a while. Neoliberalism won't fix it.
Yet, It beggars belief that this Govt is spending millions supplying Arms to Ukraine despite Zelensky stating diplomacy is the only answer
Think strategically. The most important humanitarian aid today is weapons and any other assistance to Ukraine. Ukrainian ports must be reopened for grain exports as soon as possible.
That is what BorisJohnson’s conservative nasty party is world leading at, cuts. So much for ‘global Britain’ No sign of ‘levelling up’ on the International stage. Just breaking treaties, raising tensions, breaking promises, cosying up to dictators and trashing UK reputation
It was money down the drain and you know it. India, they already told us they didn’t need our money? And they don’t. We have enough aid not being given at home
That will only result in more refugees for the UK's shores then
Charity begins at home folks though of course the Grauniad would never condone a government good move. Silly billys - never back a political winner in decades.
