Stop giving money abroad when we are sinking ourselves
Since the new government has come in we have had to make cuts, tax has gone up, benefits are dropping and all around peoples purses are getting tighter but we all took this on the chin as we were told this would fix the country but we still seem to be giving it abroad.
Prime example from "recent" news was the staggering donation that David Cameron pledged to Pakistan to help with their education, over £500m from a money pot we are told is empty resulting in redundancy in our Police Force and NHS.
I am all for supporting other countries when we CAN, but when we are making cuts to survive the money we are saving should be spent on our country not others. I want the government to consider restrictions on the amount of foreign donations we hand out until a time when we are economically stable country again.
