What happened to my foreign aid for the British floods thread????

It got washed out to sea I'm afraid. Not enough sandbags to stop the Moderator getting through.

The use of the N word wouldn't have helped. (wac)

Saudi Arabia sent us £100million so it was no longer relevant ! (The money was meant to be for 200 mosques around the world which they offerd to pay for, but they are so nice they gave it to us instaed).

You see Allah is all loving and merciful.

I don't noah anything about it.

Ok stop arking on about it.

Too many people got Upset over the Fact that The British Government has Given away £11,000,000,000 (Eleven Billion)to Foreign Countries, Every Year, for the past 3 Years.

you want to try posting on the guardian - good luck

Foreign aid?

What, while the governing party has umpteen multi millionaires in it's cabinet?



What's going on please??

You mean in your head?

probably removed for sheer stupidity. The UK is one the world's wealthiest countries.

The UK is one the world's wealthiest countries.


And yet we have food banks all over the country.

And the Food Banks have had 1,000,000 (that's a Million) Attendees per year, over the past 2 years,
Areas of The U.K. are worse off than some Third World Countries.

and none of that is the fault of any foreign country

Could be the fault of foreign countries, Britain takes in and supports millions of their unemployed.

Nope. Plenty of wealth in this country for everyone - it's the way it's distributed that's the problem. Don't fall into the trap of blaming foreigners for our woes.

If you provide a free service like a food bank you'll get plenty of takers.

On the website of one of these foods banks, they state there aim is to have a food bank in every town in the UK.
So it's a case of them creating their own demand.

Close the food banks down tomorrow and people will suffer because they now depend on them.
Yet these people were coping before we had food banks.

Funding provided by local councils in most cases as well.

Not to mention the £Millions being given to E.U. Dependents in child benefit etc because the father is living/working/claiming in the U.K.
Many a new Business set up in Europe (Excluding the U.K.) is being funded by the UK Taxpayer.

Dr C.
That may have been true about Councils before "Social Cleansing" started to take place,
still 1.8 Million names on the U.K.`s Social housing lists.

Areas of The U.K. are worse off than some Third World Countries.

How many food banks are there in Third World Countries?

We have a benefit system that looks after people from the cradle to the grave.

How can areas of the UK possibly be worse off than third world countries where they're starving?

There are 2500 people sleeping rough every night, no Address, No medical Exemption certificate, No Benefits.
More people Died in the 2014/15 Four winter months in England and Wales, than have been killed by Terrorist acts in 70 years,
There were almost 44,000 “excess deaths” between December and March last year, 65,000 Deaths, in Total?, The report from the Office of National Statistics show the number of excess winter deaths in 2014/15 was the highest since 1999/00.
Don't tell me they all died of Cold FFS.

We always get more deaths occurring during the winter months, even in warm centrally heated care homes. More germs about for a start.

''Last winter saw the highest number of winter deaths since the turn of the millennium as respiratory diseases claimed thousands of lives
Experts said the failure of the flu vaccine last year – which was only effective in one in three cases – was one of the key factors behind the deaths.''
