Re: Overseas Aid

There's obviously plenty of money in the pot for certain things .

The UK is a major donor to the Syria crisis. To date, we have committed £3.1 billion, our largest-ever response to a single humanitarian crisis.

and

•The UK has provided £118 million this financial year to organisations delivering humanitarian aid cross-border primarily into north-west Syria. This helps to provide vulnerable people in Idlib with food, clean water, shelter and healthcare. The UK will continue to work with the UN to ensure aid reaches the people in need.

Makes me mad, because the majority of refugees in Idlib, would not be there if it hadn't been for Turkey's training grounds for the terrorists. I wonder if we provided funds for that too, and many of those so called refugees are the families of the terrorists.

Very true. We should keep our noses out of the Middle East.

Re: Overseas Aid

The whole thing just makes me sick reading about it. I am always happy to help anyone but we MUST LOOK AFTER OUR OWN PEOPLE FIRST.
