£12.162 billion 2014 to 2015 (mail online)
U.K population 64,105,654 (wikipedia) 2014
Development assistance 12.162bn divided by 64,105,654 million = £ 189.71 per head of all persons living in the U.K.
Yet we are giving all this money away to other countries when:
Cancer patients being refused medication.
Patients being sent home because their are no beds or nurses.
Elderly having to sell their homes to pay for care.
State pensioners dying from cold and lack of support in there homes.
Parents queueing at food banks to feed their children.
Police force reduced.
The U.K gives away Billion's of pounds to other countries rather than look after there own.
