Default UK Foreign Aid to be enshrined in law....

http://www.express.co.uk/news/politi...oreign-aid-law

How does that make folk feel, when there is no money for the UK, and we are needing to BORROW money to give away, in many cases to corrupt governments, or those who have less need of it than us?

When we are cutting Benefits to some of the most needy?

Well it pisses me the **** off is what it does. Aid should be given when and where it's needed, with amounts determined by how much is required to actually make a difference, achieve certain goals.

It shouldn't be handed out just meet a fecking quota. If you want a space programme pay if your god damn self, oh and take care of those living on the streets with nothing and the parentless kids not lucky enough to even be housed by a shelter.

It makes me feel fortunate and proud to live in a country capable and grown-up enough to accept that doing the right thing is more important than doing the politically expediant thing...

In short, **** UKIP and their short term, myopic, counter-productive and insular world view

If youre referring to the pregnant woman breastfeeding story - its all b0llocks. See the original section and judge for yourself! Farage clearly says he doesn't mind, and it's for the establishment concerned! Media making a story when there is none. Its 60 secs of perfectly innocuous comment

LBC interview

As for the foreign aid, UKIP policy is 2bn only for vaccinations and clean water only, which sounds again perfectly reasonable

Reasonable, only if those needs can be met by £2bn.

Why is it that Farage is sensitive to breastfeeding in public places causing offence to some, yet wanted to abolish the smoking ban in similar establishments?

FFS if you were earning less than you were spending and went to the bank asking to borrow some money so you could give it to another person spending more than they were earning they would quite rightly tell you to **** off and put your own house in order first!

What is it about that you cannot understand?

I REALLY wish some of the **** that the rest of this God-forsaken country is having to deal with would land on this clown.......he might then understand instead of mouthing platitudes.

How many more pensioners who have paid in all their lives, must go hungry and cold this winter?
How many more out of work people must be made homeless?
How many more homeless people must die?

All, while we give money to corrupt regimes, or those who don't need it.

One wonders if any makes it's way back into minister's pockets???????

I know, but it's the only thing the appeasement obsessed media and rival parties have on UKIP now.

Truth, plus this

Helping the suffering in other nations is admirable but if your Police forces are falling apart due to lack of funding surely that takes priority
