Remember Live Aid over 20 years ago? Over fifty million pounds was raised voluntarily back then from us with the intentions of making Africa more self-sufficient, but it has all long been spent and I STILL get begging letters in with my water bill for WaterAid to help provide basic water wells in Africa at a couple of hundred pounds each.

The third world will remain unwilling to help itself whilst our treacherous government splashes ever more of our taxpayers cash at them without our say-so.
Another reason why I vote BNP from now on.

How can this goverment condone this our country is going to wreck and ruin, they are so not interested in the state they are making of our once beautifull country, they throw money abroard like its going out of fashion, as Africa should be looking after thier own people Engalnd should be looking after us , the English are the forgotten people left jobless homeless and probably in some cercumstances yes possibley starving but that does not seem to matter

When you stop to consider the amounts given to Africa by various western governments over the years, and the loans that were written off by the same western governments. Then consider the number of charities operating in Africa, together again with the length of time they have been there.

Then there are the collecting tins shoved under our noses at every opportunity, not to mention the fairtrade scam, all designed to give your poor benighted African a leg up. The place continent should have virtually sunk by now under the weight of the money they have had by one means or another.

That the average African is no better off than ever, and the civil wars; usually instigated by peace loving muslims go on and on says it all. Yet amazingly, starving or not, and in constant fear of violence as some of them are, they can still breed.

St Gordon has made it known that his mission in life is to eradicate poverty and hunger in Africa, unfortunately for us, he didn't let on that he would be using our money to do it. Letting him know that we don't approve will have no effect – he is driven by an agenda which doesn't include honesty or concern for the people that he is supposed to represent – the British people.

Hi Winston
These tragic sacrifies of fine young people by this evil regime are unbearable. I too of course have an absolutely visceral loathing of Brown. He just can't stop the spinning and the distortion – just now about helicopters

http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/politics/do...

This is his stock-in-trade; he did it for years as Chancellor with the finances. It took years of course for the scale of the con-job to become generally apparent; but Brown cannot hide the devastating effects of IEDs and the miserable failure and dereliction of duty on his part to at least equip our people properly in this extremely ill-advised venture

Zimbabwe's white farmers produced more food than the country needed,their farms were siezed and handed over to black "farmers" who on first day of ownership sacked all the black farm hands the people who may have stood a chance of making it work ,slaughtered all the cattle sold the meat then sat around for a few days until the money ran out and now most of them are starving and guess who Mugabe is blaming? yes the Imperialist British .

Its always good to see that in this Country of ours, which is on its knees at the moment with DEBT, created by a foolish unwise overspending Government, should be sending money to a country that gives us nothing back in return. All we are doing is giving the people money to spend on illegal travel to this Country.

And like the idiots this government are they welcome Immigrants into this Country with open arms, thinking they will add to the economy. Are they really that stupid, thinking that something which is only capable of reproducing offspring can contribute anything more to this Country than more DEBT!!! And an even bigger strain on our already overstretche NHS!!

Mugabe I believe was educated here and he is back there doing what he can for them.

One point one BILLION that is just about the amount that Brown took from the plans to buy helicopters for the military in 2005 . We now know Browns priorities I guess.

Call me cynical but "…want a massive, uneducated underclass which does not posses the means to challenge the ruling elite…" sounds as though it could apply to a government much closer to home as well!

"rather I don't think the bulk of the money ever reaches those who need it"

And how right you are. I had an Aunt who lived briefly in India after the War, and I always remember her saying to never give to Oxfam etc., because the money never reached those it was intended for. Corruption is so ingrained into life in these countries that at every step of the way, from the time you donate to the time it arrives at it's intended destination, each person that handles it takes 'their' cut – with the result that very little is left for those who it was donated for.

This is the very reason that Foreign Aid has always failed – and always will. If money is given to people and countries where such corruption is rife – and that includes ALL Third World countries – then only a tiny fraction arrives at it's intended destination – if any. The corruption that is a way of life in these countries is possibly the very reason that they are Third World countries in the first place – as many of them have massive natural resources that never seem to benefit those countries. Just for one example, take a look at the Arab countries with massive Oil wealth – but have ordinary Arabs benefited at all from that wealth? Perhaps if they had, the Middle East would not be such a world trouble spot?

I doubt very much whether this money will get to where it is needed, we in the West have poured Trillions into Africa, my guess is there is a rapidly accumulating pile of REAL MONEY IE Gold piling up in some Vault somewhere, Switzerland perhaps.
Alongside the Gold the Brown swapped for a Pile of Paper Notes conjured up out of thin air.
Not that I'm suggesting Brown is dishonest or that he is Gutting this country of its wealth, that would be slanderous.

Part 2.
These women have never had mothers capable, willing, able, to show them and teach them. And because they know no better they cannot teach their sons and daughters, and so it goes on from one blighted generation to the next. There would be a cost, but how much do such dysfunctional families cost at present, and that is without the cost of human talent and potential gone to waste. Some you will never be able to help, and sterilisation for male and female is probably the only thing. I know how that sounds but it’s true. Nothing will change until you have a government that wants it to change. Brown, Cameron et al do not.

Part 1.
It’s what to do about them. I am not singling women out but it does usually stem from women, who are often poorly educated and sometimes of low intelligence. Remember the Sharon Matthews case; single mother, 7 kids, 5 different fathers. Some found it shocking but it’s not uncommon. I read an article by a man and it made good sense. He reasoned that the country is full of social workers. Women in their late forties and fifties who had run homes, raised families and probably held down a job at the same time. Why could they not be recruited as mentors to these women. They would need some training re the law but not much else. They could teach them how to manage their money, organise the day; simple things like ensuring clean knickers and socks, getting the kids up, making them breakfast, getting them to bed on time. All the things we do automatically but it involves thought and planning

I think charity should begin at home i.e cancer research, physically disabled, elderly care, Parkinsons disease, heart foundation, Downs syndrome, the homeless, alcoholism and drug addiction, dementia care, orphaned children, asthma, care of our wounded armed forces. Also animal charities. Scanners needed for N.H.S and more hospital wards required. Many of these depend on money from the lottery and donations from the general public. To say that these Countries have well Educated leaders is a lie- they are more interested in spending money on arms and building Mosques etc

For sometime now I do my best not to use any shops that are not British. I would rather walk a mile in the rain and then queue to do shopping than put my money into some immigrants pocket so they can send it back home to finance something nasty against this beloved country, or pay for more of the buggers to come here. I do not give to any charity or appeal that is not 100% for the British,and in most cases I will only support local ones where I can see the good being done. I will not order takeaways as they are all run by immigrants round here, just like the taxi's, and I wont use them either.
Might not sound like this will make a difference on my own,but it really makes me feel good knowing its a bit less their getting.
Anyone care to join in and boycott all that is not British ?.
