    It's important to give money to struggling, poor countries.

    You know, like Singapore.
    You won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.

        Yeah, but look at the state of the place.




        Perhaps with all the aid, they can bring it up to Swindon standards?

          If you believe the right wing narrative that benefits have made uk workers lazy, then increasing aid abroad while cutting at home makes sense. Our lot become good again, the foreigners become idle subsidy wasters. Boomed! Even the Liberal voters, like myself, are in on this
          Speaking gibberish on internet talkboards since last Michaelmas. Plus here on Twitter

            Not a belief.

            Fact.
            What happens in General, stays in General.
            You know what they say about assumptions!

                I know of people who have never worked in their lives.

                No incentive to work. Why work when the benefits come rolling in.

                    I am intelligent enough not to waste time responding to people I perceive to be thick. What's your excuse?
