[adrian99]

International aid accounts for 0.7% of GDP, the projected tax receipts for this financial year are £599bn.[/quote]

We are borrowing £120bn more this year because the government is spending £120bn more that it takes in, so we are borrowing this £12bn and then giving it away, madness.

If you are thinking we should send them afghans/germans/Italians/etc a bill for the bombs dropped on their poxy countries then sir, you and I, have an accord.
