Re: Now that China has landed a probe on the moon....
I'd like to know why we are sending foreign aid to countries that are, or soon will be, ahead of us in the economic stature, notably China and India.
I'd also like to know why we continue to send foreign aid to a number of countries which we know for certain treat their inhabitants unfairly and divert our money to their rulers for their own personal benefit.
Most of all, I'd like to know why we continue to send foreign aid
anywhere when we are in great need ourselves. I am thinking especially of our underfunded NHS and our dismally inadequate transport infrastructure.
The only logical reasons I can think of are our yearning to keep on good terms with countries around the world, especially when we shall be looking for trading partners after Brexit.
