Guest#552 Feb 16, 2014, 08:22
We have done so much for other countries, it is time that we must allow charity to begin at home.
Guest#553 Feb 16, 2014, 08:27

as this country is broke we should stop all aid until we can afford to donate.
Guest#557 Feb 16, 2014, 09:17

Re: The UK flood Crisis

Surely the first duty of the government is to their own people and country. They need to get their priorities in order.

Well done Daily Mail the voice of the Nation - as usual!
Guest#563 Feb 16, 2014, 10:13
There should be a percentage included from that set aside for foreign aid as a reserve to use for any extreme circumstances for the UK, such as the flood victims

I think instead of sending billions of pounds to these supposed impoverished countries the Government should spend the money HERE AT HOME : we are fast becoming a third world country - we need flood defences - lets look to Holland for constructive advice : our roads need attention : our hospitals are now third class whereas we used to be considered leading edge. No more budget cuts - spend AID money on US.

A lot of areas that were not considered as flood plains, are now flooding because of the building program, and the cut backs by councils in not clearing street drains!

Our Money being wasted.

What we need is another Oliver Cromwell to sort out the mess this country is. We need to wise up and immediately stop sending millions in Foreign Aid to China, India, Pakistan and all the other corrupt dodgy African despots.
The money should be spent in the UK to help the flood victims and sort out sea defences. Not mention the Millions a day pumped into the EU for a load of Europrats to waste.
We must get real here, there is no justification to Waste another 72 Billion on HST, that we cannot afford either.
Guest#569 Feb 16, 2014, 10:38
Make sure our own people are taken care of first before sending money to other countries.
Guest#570 Feb 16, 2014, 10:42
This is what the British people know is right - dont 'dilly dally' all the time - do something -
Guest#571 Feb 16, 2014, 10:52
Go one better and share the £200 million being offered to Syria
Guest#572 Feb 16, 2014, 10:58
Our priorities on aid must rest with the people of this island. We are no longer a 'rich'country who can keep doling out money to other countries, to the detriment of our own people in need.
Guest#573 Feb 16, 2014, 10:58
charity begins at home in this case
Guest#574 Feb 16, 2014, 11:11
Stop sending money to China, they only waste our money on sending rockets to the moon.
Guest#575 Feb 16, 2014, 11:13
