Just curious. Now that you are an independent country, out of the EU, how much help did you offer iran, or any other country for that matter?
Thought so.

Our Foreign Aid budget is something like £14Bn. How much is The Netherlands' budget for this? Thought so.

Skirting around the point as usual I see, the point being that the EU are supposed to be a collection of member countries allegedly working together for a common cause. That is until someone actually needs the help of the EU of course then it's I'm alright Jack, pull up the ladder.
Judd seems to think the EU isn't doing enough, even though they give milions. And the UK is becoming so desperately poor since they left the EU, they can't offer anything but best wishes?

Our aid in 2019 was 3,1 bn https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/documen...begroting-2019
By number of inhabitants the UK is four times that of the netherlands (69 mln vs 17 mln). So relative our budgets compare. But as some of you point out again and again, UK is the seventh economy, whereas the netherlands are sixteenth. By those standards the dutch are more generous than the brits.

Are you saying the EU isn't working together close enough? That the present cooperation on economy and trade should also encompas health and medicals? Phew! And that from someone who voted for the UK to leave, because he considered the unity becoming too close.
Not good in mathematics, I see. The UK is 4 times the netherlands by inhabitants (69 mln - 17 mln). The UK budget is 12 bn. The dutch budget by number of inhabitants should be 12/4 = 3 bn. The actual budget is 3,1 bn. Like I said, comparably by number of inhabitants. Is it getting a bit more clear for you?
