Well, Gates is entitled to voice an opinion like any other person, moreover unlike many exceedingly rich people who only make donations at black tie social events he has made arrangements to transfer 95% of his wealth to charitable endowments - I think that this qualifies him to speak on the matter. I'm not saying he is right or wrong just that he has a better grasp on international aid than most individuals.

His grasp can't be as tight as you make out, as it appears the other 5% go on drugs; look what it's done to the silly cunt.

Bollocks.

I'm glad to see the 'untouchable' foreign aid budget being looked at, finally. The nearly 13 billion annul tax funded handout, spent on who knows what,needs to be stopped.I'd rather, though, that they'd considered this before cutting welfare budgets, setting welfare caps and persuading local authorities to cut services.

It makes no sense to reduce the living standards of the poor in Britain while handing over billions to corrupt foreign governments to 'Enhance' our world standing.

We gave 4 million to North Korea last year, with absolutely  no idea on what the money was spent on. Somalia received more than £120 million worth of aid, despite real concerns that money could be hijacked by terrorist groups linked to Al-Qaeda and Isis. Pakistan received £374 million, Afghanistan £300 million and Nigeria £263 million, although a prince in Nigeria has offered me all the money back if i just send £120 to cover the bacs transfer.

 

They used to call helping the enemy treason. Now they call it "aid". We might as well cut out the middleman, blow ourselves up and save the fucking money.

Charity should stay at home, and to fuck with foreign aid hand-outs. After all, where is our help from overseas when catastrophic floods and the likes affect the peasants of Somerset and beyond. Many of the cider gulpers are still without homes whilst we house Malaysians and other oiks. It only takes a few hours notice from a foreigner in peril for the cash to flow... and yet how many years have I been waiting for my hedge to be trimmed example.

It's not an argument, just an opinion that I am entitled to voice.

Indeed you are, but without substantive argument to back up the opinion it comes across as petulance.

The foreign aid question is interesting, I briefly mentioned a few months ago that Mrs May mooted the possibility of reducing Aid as a way of solving the country's burgeoning social care cost which in turns impacts of NHS funds. In previous time such comments would attract a political furore in response but there was barely a whisper of discontent. The UK foreign aid budget as a % of GPD is enshrined by law however, witness how the Fixed Term Parliament Act of 2011 was causally tossed aside in yesterday's Commons sitting.

I don't know about the in's & out's of the laws which govern foreign aid, but whilst this country tells us that we cannot afford to build homes for the homeless etc. etc. then what the fuck are we doing by sending money overseas... Take Wales, for example, what's stopping the Welsh causing a Snowdonia landslide and killing a few flocks, before weeping on the TV and begging for hand outs? Nothing.

And with all your wikipedia sourced facts and figures your opinion comes across as bollocks. So we are at an impasse.

Very interesting, but wouldn't it been a lot easier for you to just have put up that photo of your growler again ( unpixelated this time ). We would have understood what you meant.

A billionaire Yank telling English people what to do with their money? I'm shocked.

Bill is more than welcome to replace any lost funding with his own money. Twat could buy Somalia, North Korea, and most of fucking Greece if he fancied. Ginger cunt.

I'm saving up to buy Mongolia. Bloke called Ulan Bator (funny way to spell Alan) is selling it. I've got £335 so far. So halfway there.

I'm all for reducing foreign aid to a certain extent. One has to look at why Britain with other countries fund foreign aid; the first reason is a moral obligation - a sense of duty if you will. I accept that and have no difficulty with the concept. The second reason is aid buys international prestige and influence - that may have been true in the past but with the nature of global trade and fast communications I believe that has a lesser relevance in today's world.

The high winds we had the other month blew one of my garden chairs over. I'm still waiting for a cash handout for a replacement. I mean how the fuck can I sit on it if it's on its side.

A quality and relevant comment- If we were all sat with our maggots out logged onto a pay-per-view porn site. I bet that's how you found your way here, tiddler in hand, typing out "cunt" repeatedly into google.

You dirty fucking pig.

My apologies, that changes everything: corporate funded bollocks.

Everything is funded by commerce whether directly or indirectly. Of course society can do away with currencies, resort back to subsistence farming and bartering...

Hmm, you ceased having a libido many years ago, that's why your scrote is withered.

Cunting aside Eduardo, I essentially agree. Both India and Pakistan have nuclear weapons and more conventional stuff to level mt Everest so perhaps they could spend a little less on these.

Fair enough, but you could argue that getting rid of the gigantic white elephant that is Trident would buy an awful lot of doctors, nurses, social workers etc.

Another unbelievable waste of our money is a scheme thought up to help alleviate poverty in 'middle income' nations. Britain's foreign aid budget is being offered to the Chinese to help look after their elderly, whilst some of our own elderly have a choice of eating or keeping their homes warms over winter months. Our embassy in Beijing is inviting groups to apply for cash from a £1.3 billion fund. UK diplomats have even held a workshop to encourage applications.
