Complete Disregard of Public Opinion

Theresa May is not going to cut the 0.7% Foreign Aid Budget, even though Jacob Rees Mogg has presented her with a petition of 100,000 signatures

She is well aware of the Oxfam Scandal and all the other frauds committed but says:
'It is absolutely crucial that we continue our support through aid for those who are most vulnerable. They also deserve to be treated by the same high standards we would expect to be treated ourselves'
Well Theresa, tell that to destitute people living on the Streets and old people dying of Hypothermia every Winter because they can't afford to heat their homes, as well as all th unemployed who now go to Food Banks.

They say :Charity Begins at Home' Not in the UK!

Sorry but you are totally wrong saying " 'It is absolutely crucial that we continue our support through aid for those who are most vulnerable. "

All the time we give help and aid their governments won't bother. We should stop ALL foreign aid and let these countries sort out their own problems.

The money that goes on overseas aid could be better spent looking after our own who need it

I completely agree with you Azure and the thing is, if we carry on as we are, we will end up too poor to give Aid to anyone.

There must be a 'Big plan' which we don't know about. I can't imagine what it is or why politicians are so intent on destroying Britain, it's values and it's people.

Re: Complete Disregard of Public Opinion

What a hypocrite May is when her Government is making life so difficult for vunerable people here!
Did she have her head slightly tilted and her "caring" voice on when she said it I wonder?

Re: Complete Disregard of Public Opinion

You would think after reading the reports about the scandalous misuse of some aid there would at least be a half decent review of the policy. It would seem our gov: just wants to look good.

Re: Complete Disregard of Public Opinion

I'm slowly falling out of good cheer for our elected government...not that the opposition is any better.

I think politics at a very local level is more interesting as you can actually see good work being done by representatives who get their heads together.

This could be her downfall, it's just a ridiculous attitude when there is so much poverty and suffering right under her nose...
