in the UK to freeze to death because they are frightened that the heating bills will be too high.
Also allows people in the UK to die from cancer because the cost of the drugs is too hig- very NICE!
Isn't it about time the Uk government spent the taxpayers money on UK residents!
Papa Doc and Baby Doc made off with plenty of dosh leaving the Haiti the poorest country in the Western World.
Help your own is what I say.
I am considering standing at the General Election on the platform of no foreign aid, and money for the UK only.
I hope I can count on the support of all forumites.

Pensioners get plenty of help with the winter fuel payment - £400 for over 80s and poorer ones get extra cold weather payments so there is absolutely no need for them to ration their heating unless of course they have spent the money on other things.
Im not a big supporter of foreign aid but i think haitians are more in need of help than pensioners some of which will never be happy whatver they are given. |

Perhaps they could spend less on Bombs for the "wars" we're involved in, and spend that on good causes too.
Is Haiti not a good cause? |
|
By:
Hait is NOT a good cause!
They do not help themselves. Their rulers stash the cash. Totally corrupt. The UK pensioners are more deserving as ar the UK cancer sufferers! Thats 4 reasons to get started with. I have NO asian background- that is a deliberate slur from my jealous opponents to whom I would not divulge the Holy Grail. Living for part of the year in Mumbai does not give me an Asian background! I hope this clarifies the matter. |

I think not wanting to send aid to the 10's of 1000's of oppressed victims of an earthquake because their previous dictators were thieves is a bit harsh.

I'm dumbfounded, gobsmacked and dumbfounded by your attitude.

I think ordinary decent people are sick and tired of being told that ordinary decent people are sick and tired of certain things. I'm certainly not - and I'm sick and tired of being told that I am.

Studyform has a good point. If we waste money on saving foreigners from natural disasters, we won't have any left for bombs to kill pensioners.

This is an opportunity for the US particularly, but us as well, to restore a bit of faith in our countries abroad. It serves us well to offer help. In any event, it is plainly the right thing to do. And if you know the same pensioners I do, they will be the first donating to relief charities.

direct the money to the pensioners that really need it - not just all, irrespective of whether they need it and may vote for you - and slicer nearly has a point........
|

By:
spend money on gritting roads - not earthquate victims
|

By:
if we send aid - have they got any spare salt?
|

By:
next you will be telling me we give 100 of millions to India who has nukes and a space program
:0 :0 |

What about killing 3 birds with 1 stone and sending pensioners to Haiti in return for some grit for the roads?

I have had masses of e mail suppotr for my candidacy t since starting this thread.
Thank you all very much and I shall now consider whether to actually stand as an MP and which consituency. I think my views will be best supported in plaices like Luton and Wootton Bassett. So they may go on my short list. Which consituency has most BetFairian forumites? Thanks again. |

I'm not sure, but wherever it is it's probably twinned with 1939 Berlin.

What about killing 3 birds with 1 stone and sending pensioners to Haiti in return for some grit for the roads? ====== Why not wait for the pensioners to die and use their ashes to grit the roads ? |

look at Port au prince in google earth. Certainly the grimmest looking place i found. desperate.

Haiti was a pretty rubbish place to live before this "Earthquake". How can we be certain it didn't look like that already? How come the Dominican Republic is fine?
|

By:
I love the empathy. Let's whine about sending 0.000000001% of what we spend a year killing people in their own country.

oh christ, this phorum gets stupider by the day |

By:
Magic Flea, at the risk of sounding stupid, I am a little surprised there wasn't more of an effect in the Dominican republic, its not a big island. I know its infrastructure is far superior, but I didn't realise the effects were so localised.

Gashwan- if you are brain dead and ignorant, as you admit to be and alerting us to the fact, I would rather do without your vote.
Please do not be offended and thank you for your interest anyway. |

it was a shallow earthquake, hence the localised destruction |

can't we just send the pensioners to haiti?
