Don't you think this is a very good reason?

Absolutely right,I agree 100%

Why ask a question on something you have no control over?

The government in the UK isn't running the show, the EU is

They decide how much foreign aid this country spends

Yet it's already so ridiculous that in order to meet the current budget they're paying aid workers £1000 per day

Only 6 days left to get your freedom and rights back

It was the Fib-Dems who wanted the aid budget enshrined in law, this is totally stupid, foreign aid should be targetted, we have poured aid into rich countries who simply don't have re-distributive tax systems and much of this money is swallowed up by corruption.

Aid should be used situations like Nepal where they really need help, innoculation against diseases which we have already eradicated in this country like Polio and other killers, and clean drinking water, although in some cases if the rulers concerned spent less on private jets and more on waterworks we wouldn't need to send any money at all!

Stopping aid will affect those who need aid. But what is needed is to somehow be able to make sure aid gets to the 'right people'. So often it doesn't - hence the ability to buy a jet!! We should be enabling these oppressed people to be more able to aid themselves - she says without having the faintest idea HOW!!

I know it's not PC, but aid without some restrictions (such as birth control!) should be in place. I'm all for helping people who are hit by earthquakes, drought/famine etc., but to be continually sending vast sums of money to the so-called Third World, when we can't even provide for our own (NHS etc.) is just crazy.

There's nothing more that you can say.

The Tories want to enshrine in law,that a certain percentage of British money MUST be given in foreign aid.

The article shows why we shouldn't do it.

It is just one of many. Give aid and it seems to be used to get as many as possible over here. It never fails to surprise me how these 'dirt poor' and desperate people can afford a flight to London. Thousands of them do it every week.

I agree , but what can we the electorate do , Labour gives these despot ,s aid as well - for example India gets aid from us , yet still have a space programme . As long as the UK is stupid enough to dish out our hard earned our tax money , those foreign criminals will steal the money , instead of helping their poor citizens .

The reason it is given isoften BECAUSE the leaders are so corrupt that the people in need of help wouldn't get it unless donated.

For foreign Aid read "bribes". Don't be fooled by the name, it is to further British influence and business abroad. This is what it is all about.

Besides we stopped giving foreign aid to this country in 2013, so no need to worry

All foreign aid should be stopped because we already cancelled Third World debt !
