i don't swivel my eyes, except when the drink take me, and that ain't often these days, nor do i profess to be a loon, that's a bird don't you know. As to aid money well we have seen where some of it ends up, deep in pockets of very disturbing, disagreeable people, those like Mugabe, who seems as corrupt as it's possible to be. Whether it's 300 pounds of 300 million, why on earth are we giving them money, if it's for future oil deals, then let's trade properly, not bribe our way out of our energy troubles.
China is already acquiring land and indeed rights to future oil, so why don't we deal with them instead, they at least don't need our hard earned cash.
