Why is the Government giving millions away while having to borrow money?

Question

Sudan is the latest beneficiary.

The UK will never be out of debt at this rate.

Our pensioners and disabled dread the winter with greatly increased fuel and food bills, there seems to be no extra money for them.

Our illegal wars are costing millions. We, plus anyone that joins us, will never prevail in Afghanistan.

Re winter fuel bills the 'Indy' suggested a cashmere crew neck sweater plus a cardigan is ok wear to keep warm this winter, a blouse with a thigh length jacket is not ok - not cool. This was followin advice to "wear 2 sweaters".

Answer 1

Because they need to spend more money to bolster the failing economy (and also any other friendly countries that have lots of lovely oil or gas).

However, as everyone here "tightens their belts", the tax revenue for everything from VAT to stamp duty on house sales has plummetted.

So, the usual option is to increase taxation on things we cannot so easily do without (fuel, cars,) or simply take it before we get emotionally attached to it (income tax). They tried that, and all h**l broke loose.  

Therefore, the only other option is to borrow their way out of trouble.

Answer 2

You're spot on.

More of the UKs funding needs to be for the people of the UK.

start a petition

Answer 3

Because we have let Gormless Gordon Brown and his morons do it - that's why.

If they stopped pissing millions to these so called third world countries - perhaps we would not have to look at our own countrymen that need Incapacity Benefit or the like and persecute them.

Look after our people first

Answer 4

If the Third World develops, they are less likely to be ecomonic migrants and come here. With an emerging economy, we can trade with them, providing jobs for us.

Answer 5
