Should UK foreign aid be cut?
Yes😊
Cancelled NOT cut..
The foreign aid budget should be stopped
It's not foreign aid... it's our tax money and should only be spent in our country!!!
it should be completely stopped.
Our politicians would rather look good abroad than help the poorest in their own country.
It's money laundering mate. Simple.
I'm not sure if it's laundering, it just looks better to their peers who have no regard for 'lower class' people.
Tyrants prefer foreigners over natives.
It's called money laundering.
Yep doing their washing for money back.
Which mps/friends can be linked to Rwanda I wonder? A one for one a
swap to pay for their vulnerable and special needs for life was day light robbery in the first place. They paid them and no refund.
Exactly, that's what it is.
Those two need their eyes opened
Yep money laundering on a grand scale
Can someone explain why do we send foreign aid when we don’t make a surplus 😮so we borrow the money with interest on it to send it abroad 🙄
We are run by idiots and posh crooks
exactly
Bribes and money laundering
It`s money laundering , as it never seems to go where it can be seen to be helping. Plus it is virtue signalling on the world stage ,our governments love a bit of virtue signalling
@@samr8603 exactly, it's been known in the public arena for years but rarely covered. Bribes and money laundering and some sweet directorships for former mps
Foreign aid is taking money from the poor people of a rich country and giving it to the rich people of a poor country.
Ron Paul
Wise man, Ron Paul.
It’s now borrowing money from foreign rich people to give to other foreign rich people to be paid for by the British poor people.
Make a change. Vote REFORM. REFORM. REFORM 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Bit late.
Oi Starmer! - We are not a bloody charity!
Foreign Aid isn’t about supporting the countries population, it’s about using taxpayers money to buy favours from other more mailable governments. Special concessions, special rights, all about making money!
Totally agree
and if you cut it altogether ?
@@vincentl.9469 Result.
It`s nice to know our money is being well and truely wasted. We would only fritter it away by helping the struggling people of our own country .
wtf yes cut all foreign aid and immigration until our country is fixed 😡😡😡
Are you serious? Penny not dropped..
What is 2 + 2?
We have debt, we are not a rich country now.
no empire
Nah the uk is ,well the square mile is and the royals the uk population see non of it and benefit even less
The UK is bankrupt we owe 2.5 trillion pounds.
We are borrowing money (we don't have) to do give to countries richer than us.
Exact. Borrowing money to give it away.
*exactly
'WE OWE?"
I don't owe a single penny mate!
You dont understand sovereign currency.
It’s to keep us enslaved to the central banks
Nobody begrudges giving sensible amounts of Aid to Countries that actually need it like Humanitarian crisis.
But when your own Country the UK is going right down the Toilet and people here are suffering,then the Aid needs to be spent here especally when Aid is being spent on wasteful things.
Did you here that 200,000 for an
Opera ! Ha ha 😅 it just gets better !!
Uhm...thats. not. how. things work when you are an island nation. You do not balance power by turning internally as an...island nation. As you know, things do kick off. And when they do, you will need "friends". They will need you.
How does a politician suddenly become worth 80 million ?
As Machiavellian Tony Blair and his brood of delightful kids.
We are being taken for mugs. they haven't had to justify what they do,so can do as they please! Any organisation,no matter how legitimate it claims to be,can all be aligned with gang culture!
hee, who voted them in ?
You can guarantee politicians will be raking it in . Some of this foreign aid will end up in politicians back pockets. Money should spent at home . Plenty of people need help here which they are getting
How about giving aid to British pensioners and veterans?
The Madness that is British Government continues!
We have to keep China India space programme going so they can land space craft on the moon while we starve
We (humans) probably never even been to the moon. NASA is Hebrew for ‘deception’. I bet it’s all money laundering too.. black hole 🕳️ they can pour money into and pretend earthlings actually have a hope of a moon landing this century! 😂.. look at videos of the 1960’s moon landing. Mobile phone reception from the moon was excellent 👌… space ships looked liked they were off a movie set.. so flimsy, archaic .. 😂 just try find a few old videos!!
£14 billion a year could do so much good for this Country.
We should get aid to heat old folks homes
Insane
They send billions to India every year and India has it's own space program, paid by us.
Absolute madness from this Government
"foreign aid" lol more like money laundering.
It's the sickness in British politics
Right now British English would qualify for foreign aid as they are not part of this country
Stop sending money to other countries while we are struggling here. Stop spending money on the green shyte deal here and giving money to other countries for them to spend on pi55 up's instead of what it is meant for.
Money laundering
Charity begins at home.....
Exactly
Charity is my wifes name! Keep my wife's name out your mouth!
We send foreign aid to countries who have a space program and nuclear weapon systems. Does the UK get any money aid from other countries. Example, when the floods happen near (I think in ) Boscombe Down, did we receive any outside help or funding. However if the is a disaster somewhere we send buckets of money and personnel to assist.
Alex Phillips for PM she tells the truth she knows what she wants
She certainly wants something
It’s called bribery and greasing wheels
Well said , they haven’t got a clue
Insane government policy. We are technically broke in deficit and borrowing. We have eye watering interest payments. But we fund other countries who clearly do not need it. We are mad.
No money for the eldery or the poor but there is money for the rich
Alex do me a favour put yourself up for a reform mp. I love your tact. Love the way you sum up whats happened in africa with eu. Why dont we put the aid budget to proper infrastructure eg desalination water plants in sudan, ethiopia not just for clean water but for irrigation and food. They can become self sufficient. Thats true aid.
We’ve spent billions in Ukraine 🇺🇦
How do you expect the politicians to get rich millionaires
Wrong!
Global Elites have spent taxpayers cash corrupting Ukraine.
UK | 3T in debt, running massive budget deficit, huge economic problems AND we are sending money over seas! You couldn't make this sh*t up!
Why on earth would we give anyone anything? It’s our money being used to make politicians feel generous, when it never cost them anything 😮
We shouldnt be paying anyone they should all be paying us
The U.S. laundering money the same way
Generally interested. Do we receive foreign aid from other countries?
Our politicians receive donations from their friends in Israep
We receive illegals from other countries fella?? 🤫🤫🏴🇮🇪🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧👍🏽
If an Indian Dr gave you medical help then you've received Foreign Aid.
True that @@section5760
I think we past mad a long time ago. Do anyone recall the had its own debate. I had one thread that got over 40,000 views and hundreds of posters who agreed with me. It concerned ging the people an EU referendum with one main issue being the UK could not sustain level of mass immigration.
What about our own first?
Can you say money laundering?
The Amount of Hand outs just from the United Nations to African Countries is Mind Boggling ! And appears to have been wasted with no long term benefit .
The inmates really are running the asylum in the uk
Yep. Same asylum, different inmates.
Most charity does not work. They do not give fish or nets. But training about the life cycles of fish.
Meanwhile, poorer pensioners might die, because they are afraid to turn on the heating this winter. Starmer/Reeves, I hope you are proud of making that “difficult decision”!
Our pensioners aren't worthy of the winter fuel allowance but we can hand money to people in far away countries who don't need it.
I think it a good idea. How about making squirrel bridges in California because as we all know the roads are very busy there. Rather that then stopping homelessness for our local population.
When will we receive foreign aid
When a black Muslim turns up to give you CPR, I'd consider that foreign aid.
Your allready got aid from Malaysia for 1.9billion pound for Battersea
Since we have tens of thousands of foreigners arriving uninvited perhaps the costs should come out of that budget before anyone else gets any.
People need to start asking their government for documents and finding out where all of this money is going. You, as a citizen, have a right to know how your money is being spent. People need to start inquiring for documents.
I could tell you …but the whole system would collapse if people knew or understood it …
It’s like the Muppet Show!! 😂😂😂
This country is a complete joke in every respect. I need to leave.
Port Talbot massive!!!!
Thank you for mentioning my town!
Thanks both!
Even talking about this is racist.
Stop money to NGOs while at it. Why are we paying for hate not hope?
"Foreign aid is taking money from poor people in rich countries and giving it to rich people in poor countries.Ron Paul.
STOP foreign aid
POST Foreign Aid
Audit the budget! These numbers dont surprise me i doubt we see a fraction of the actual budget spent on the country and not in fat cat pockets.
Lol in the famous words of forest gump stupid is as stupid does.😂
Yes of course it’s our money and we didn’t get asked to give our money away.
Just heard that Alex has had to finish early due to that rogue cup of coffee/disinfectant! Get well soon, matey!
UK foreign aid needs to be spent in the UK.
Why help people off the streets of Manchester when they can virtue signal abroad?
You should look at the people who are running these departments,these are people have got plum jobs who have no idea.
How can we really afford this
We could pay less council tax , abolish or have low inheritence tax for single person. If we abolish stop all foreign aid!!!!! We could have our Winter fuel allowance!
We are trillions in debt, so we should abolish, stop Foreign aid! We should be cutting down. So we can reduce our debt, and reduce our taxes!
Yes cut all aid and look after our own country...
We shouldn’t give ANY foreign aid to anyone ! Unless our 5 x eyes ACANZUK group need some help.
Foreign aid needs to stop
Absolute power corrupts absolutely!
What did you expect?… why would they spend it on ‘plebs’…?
Just spaff it like the councils do…
Foreign aid
NOT in my name
NOT with my hard earned tax 😡
You don't payvtax so 🤷
Sounds shady to me
Ponder why these commonwealth countries would rather do business with emerging Powers instead?
a smart city we dont want alex thats a 15 min city
If all western countries stopped this transfer of weslth and spent it in their own countries we would as a planet be much better off and it all has a knock on effect And helps all involved
Oh my goodness!
Whatever happened to common sense?
Absolutely insanity we are in so much debt but anything not to help your own people lunatic politics
We should spend it sending one of our own excellent operas or some Shakespeare productions over there if there’s money to burn 🔥 on art projects!
But far better to spend it here where it’s so needed!
No money for pensioners heating though.
Personally I have no problem our tax money going to helping out countries if they are hit by a natural disaster. We simply shouldn't give our TAX money away when we have our own problems
Just can't Adam and eve it. Seriously
No social houses in UK then
The younger Anthony Quayle!
Can we ask China or Russia or India to please send us some aid to heat our pensioners’ homes as our government has botched the budget and prioritised the spend on gender pronoun stickers at the entrances of NHS hospitals
the system promised no one riches,you are just modern slaves for a small wage
Madness rules 😢
GB could join BRiCS for cheaper O&G & Infrastructure projects devts & control illegal immigrants 😊
I buy kebabs regularly! I'm also partial to a Lamb Karahi .. I've even eaten some of that Chinese food, aka chow mein.. Am I funding foreigners with my loose cannon attitude to food!?
Bloody foreign chefs, coming 'ere cooking exotic dishes!
Its money laundering.
because we are expected to die.
Wagner is helping Africa fight ISIS...
We send foreign aid to India, who have a space program and more billionaires than anywhere!
Colour revelations
MoneyMoneyMoney😂😂what aload of bollocks
Westminster hate GB and spending abroad gets virtue signalling points
Charity begins at home. Tell that to starmer.
He can then use what he's not spent elsewhere to fill the 20 million whole.
(Not an expert so I've probably got that completely wrong#)
give all your riches to the poor and you can go to heaven
