If only there was a good alternative, I'm sure she would be out at the next election. We gave her a chance but she has failed imo.

It's a joke.
Most of the money is probably filtered off away from the intended anyway.
I'd cut foreign aid to zero tomorrow.

As stated, these countries need to sort themselves out. Not our problem!

I had high hopes at first, maybe another Maggie. However, it's transpired that she is utterly spineless. Mind you - show me one politician that gives a toss about what the electorate think?

They are all as useless as each other. Headless chickens would be better, but we don't have a headless chicken party sadly.

I would much sooner money to the poor in other countries than those who claim benefits fraudulently in the UK.

I don't know why we give money to India when they have a space program (Or do they?).

I couldn't agree more - she seems to be turning into Germany's Merkel the more often I see her, just clinging to power.

I agree, the aid doesn’t get to people that need it. Families still live in appalling conditions, alongside express railway lines, some of the road, etc, with no sanitation.

I would rather keep the money here and help all those homeless people.

Can you explain that rather odd assertion, the people that are poor may be claiming benefits but actually as likely to be working these days, the levels of fraud are low, it's hard to be considered entitled to benefits.

Re: Complete Disregard of Public Opinion

Maybe, it’s my imagination but Mrs May comes over as a bit insincere and always speaks with that sickly smile on her face!

I don’t think she sleeps very well either but l suppose she’s got a lot on her plate with Brexit!!
