Reduce International Aid
How is it possible for a country in our situation, a failing health service, unstable police, a mass shortage of homes, an increase of poverty in this country be funding £1 billion pounds for them to create or develop their own space program!
British citizens can not help to feel they are being taken for a ride! our pockets have been squeezed to the maximum over the years, people losing their homes, people losing their jobs and the government is just throwing money away.
Of course the government would argue that this would reduce immigration and crime, which is an obsurd statement to make as this would have very little impact.
Since the conservatives have come into play, there as been a susbtantial increase in the amount of international aid we provide, but at the taxpayers expense. Its about time some of the money we earn for a living is kept in our pockets, instead of the government splashing it on foreign aid and visits.
