I think Churchill said it was the best of the worst. I think its the current lack of choice that's causing issues. You think, I guess pretty much the whole of the British empire finally came to the same conclusion, which Churchill never quite got a grip on, he might well have been a great war leader but he wasn't much come peace time. Yes, but he was good with words and had vision. When it comes down to it the right to vote even between poor candidates is still better than the alternatives. |

No, I already do help the less fortunate in my own community where I live What I am conveying to you is that without foreign aid and the UN, many people would simply die in third world countries. Although people can die in this country by been homeless, it is not common, and help of some kind is usualy available, and that help is NOT foreign aid or the UN. its all about context and perspective - Also, the percentage of the population in places such as Yemen who need help is a lot different to the numbers of say homeless people here. In this country its almost all single people, in other places in the world it is entire families, and entire villages. I don't think your going to persuade him Sid.  |

Perhaps he needs to cold call a vulnerable elderly person and see if they will be an easier mark. |

The OP was about foreign aid and why resources should be used abroad rather than in the UK . Yes and I was suggesting how that money could be spent helping the homeless here. You support Cruella yes? And her idea of removing tents from homeless people to help them yes? |
