At least they will have something good to watch

Makes you wonder how much money is given away to other countries.

Can they not make their own radio and tv programmes ?

Excellent - the BBC is one of the reason I feel proud to be British. Despite the whines of people from certain miserable demographics, I love so much of the BBC's output, and would rather not rely on Sky for my telly viewing. And if we can export quality programming around the world - all the better.

The only channel that can compare is America's HBO...which is awesome.

If it helps people not to die from sexually transmitted diseases, so they can work and help to keep their country working, then I'd support that.

More like Benson and Hedges. They should have enough money of their own from the aid they are already getting to make programmes that appeal to them. It would be better spent in programmes dedicated to birth control and prevention of STDs etc. I sometimes wish they would ask us how our money should be spent instead of doling it out to everyone with a begging bowl.
