Haiti earthquake a deserving cause?

How does Gordon Brown sleep at night having frittered away £825 million in foreign aid to India (they of the space program) when he has just offered a measly £10 million to the Haitians? Or is this his idea of prudence?

    It is absolutely disgusting but typical of the man. India, in his eyes, being far more 'useful' to the UK than Haiti ever will be. As usual in response to these dreadful disasters it will be the ordinary UK punter who will subscribe far more assistance, including money, than this government ever does. Remember the disgraceful governmental reaction to the Jamaican crisis some years ago? The people of the UK donated over twice as much as our 'Establishment'.

    well aid to India must be stopped. Any nation that is both launching space programs and actually buying british industry(tata) really shouldnt be getting aid money. Haiti is a nation that has always survived on aid and dosent know how to look after itself. Like a 40 year old guy still living with his parents. Some nations know how to deal with a disaster, it can bring out the best in people, they dont sit there waiting for aid, they do their best to sort things out themselves. Its not that the haitians arnt economically capable, they are not intellectually capable of dealing with adversity. Like many bad black nations 10 milion or 10 trillion wont make any difference.

    We're not in debt , we're in a black hole and about to disappear , india will probably buy us from the receiver for £150 in a few weeks while Brown invests in a new iniative to fund North Korea's space program!

    Haiti are not a priority in his eyes , doesn't that make you proud to be British!

    This idiot is the biggest moron ever to call himself Prime Minister - he has to go!

    So lets get this right. The UK tax payer is paying for India's aircraft carrier and yet (obviously the UK is screwed financially) we give a pittance towards a natural disaster victims.

    I guess Labour do not have many Haitians on the electoral role?

    I study that when the island of Haiti strengthen into first settled with the aid of African slaves who have been so brutally taken care of with the aid of the ecu slave drivers who believed that black strengthen into the colour of the devil, the slaves became desperate to conquer their plight with the aid of enlisting the help of the devil by way of fact they could get none from the Europeans and the Catholic church. those Haitian slaves led with the aid of Boukman on August 14, 1791 met in a woodland mentioned as Bois-Caiman close to Cap Haitian to accomplish a satanic ceremony and that they killed a pig and drank it is blood, swearing and dedicating Haiti to the devil decrease than the rule of thumb of Aristides. In 1991, the Haitian government rededicated the rustic to devil. although in 1997, bishop Joel Jeune, and Paul and Gerald Clarie, of innovative and prescient, Haiti and an excellent style of different Christian leaders from Haiti, Canada, France, ny and Florida drove the witch docs removed from Bois-Caiman woodland and took holy communion in a similar spot the place the pig were sacrificed and that they committed the land to Jesus Christ. by way of fact that factor, August 14 is now no longer seen the devils day yet is now celebrated as a spiritual victory for Jesus Christ.

    India is rich. Give them aid in the form of a loan, and you get your money back, plus interest. Haiti is poor, so you have to give them the aid in pure cash/goods because you're never going to get the money back. Hence, he gives them less.
