P.s - I agree that foreign aid should be given but the amount is disputed and the accountability of it and that it should not be made a legal req.
Baz your references to Jake are disgusting. Next time don't argue against immigration and terrorism as politically you don't seem to have an idea.
You think this country is in 'severe debt' is it that you fear your standard of living will drop to that of a third world person living a shack with no drainage system and no fresh water supply? I feel for you, I really do.

A quick look at the Office for National Statistics website shows that in 2002 (latest figures available) at least 48% of the aid is categorised under the following headings;
Technical Cooperation
Aid in Kind
Investments
Aid and Trade Provision
which suggests that much of the aid isn't simply a cash handout and indeed probably involves the employment of British firms and expertise and potential ongoing business.

Why is it that anyone with a different opinion to any right winger is a "lefty"?
Is it due to, as I have said many times before, that rather than actualy look at the facts, they would rather take red top rhetoric as fact.
And instead of putting forward any sort of cogent argument, find it far easier to just insult people.

jno:
I think there's a problem with your Marshall plan argument. Bear in mind it was quite an intensive cash injection that was also coupled with a very strong multinational western military occupation, and with political control and reorganisation by the Western powers. You're right that it might show foreign aid fashioning a state into a valuable ally, but if it did then it did so at an extremely high level of involvement and painstaking work over several years in quite unique circumstances. If the purpose of foreign aid is to do what you're arguing, then to be successful it'd require a far deeper and less sustainable involvement than just money.

Not much point in nurturing busines with those that will never be able to pay. That is just leftie doctrine.
Charity begins at home and my god after 13 years of Labour throwing money around like confetti thats what we need to do.
The likes of Jake will never comprehend, they on another planet. Pity they just dont p*ss off to China or Russia. Of course both these regimes are also realising the benfits of capitalism.
One rule, never argue with a fool or an out and out champaign solitilist, they are much the same
