Foreign Aid or Flood Aid. What the public really thinks.

Additional Information

We, the people, want the Government to re-allocate funds away from undeserving countries to support the flood defences of the UK.

Mr Cameron - get real - your country needs help.

Top 20 recipient countries 2012/13 - £2.4 billion
Source: Department for International Development

Top 3 undeserving countries:

Ethiopia (£261 million) - ordering 10 Boeing Dreamliners worth $3.8 billion - why?

Nigeria (£202 million) - $20 billion of oil production money "unaccounted for"

India (£196 million) - Spent $75 million on Mars Satellite and $750 million on Firecrackers for Divali

Now we hear that we should ask for handouts from the EU. Madness and entirely illogical.
