We all know that for the most part, foreign aid is not an exact science. Instead a good chunk of it probably ends up in the grubby hands of the usual suspects, while only a fraction goes out to those it was intended for.
But it also makes me wonder why the UK keeps on doing this when by and large the countries in receipt of our aid don’t particularly like us anyway, and show little or no gratitude for our money.
It does seem rather ironic that during the height of the British Empire, Britain was offering not only financial aid, but education, science, medicine, infrastructure, justice and above all trade & commerce.
Of course a lot of these benefits are ignored these days. Instead everything is centred on the negative aspects of our colonial past – namely slavery and exploitation.
However, even though the Empire has now been consigned to the history books, the UK still feels obliged to shell out billions to its former domains as well as existing countries within the Commonwealth. But again, one has to wonder why? If those countries want their independence or no longer need our aid they should say so and start standing on their own two feet!
And yet when the government threatens to cut the foreign aid budget there’s a furore from the Opposition, from charities, the MSM and those very same countries who wanted nothing more to do with the UK – except for the money.
And now we have this unsurprising news that hundreds of millions of pounds bound for Afghanistan has ended up in the wrong hands, thanks to a report published by the Independent Commission on Aid Impact (ICAI).
ICAI were quite damning in their findings regarding the management and targeting of aid, more or less insisting that ministers at the Foreign Office must try harder to make sure every penny ends up in the right hands.
But we all know its bollocks. Nothing will ever change. The UK government has given billions in aid to African countries such as Uganda and Zimbabwe in the past, but again huge amounts ended up in the pockets of dictators such as Mugabe and Amin. But again nothing changed.
One of the great quotes regarding foreign aid is that you’re essentially taking money away from poor people in rich countries to give to rich people in poor countries.
Never a truer word has been said and it needs to stop. Now!

Excellent nomination.
Foreign aid is yet another misnomer. It’s called what it isn’t.
What it IS:
Leaders trying to sleep at night by thinking they are actually doing good (Naivete at it’s highest)
Corrupt siphoning of our money to who, what, and where only God knows.
A campaign if deception to keep the victims of this theft (us the taxpayer) at ease. “Aid” evokes feelings of goodwill toward man.
A giving away of our nation to foreigners.
The USA is doing the EXACT SAME SHIT.
I remember ex governor of Texas Rick Perry as a candidate for POTUS was going to cut off all aid to everyone and re evaluate. Some cunt journo asked, “Does that include Isreal?” He answered, “Yes”.
I think he would’ve been a good president.

Great nom Techno š
Give them nowt accept a bayonet point and a swift kick up the Khyber.

A first class cunting.
You’d think after all these decades of doling out billions we’d be in a position to stop this particular gravy train,after all Whitey bad,Blek supreme.
Surely given how excellent Africunts,Stanleys and Chinks are they’d have sorted themselves out and wouldn’t need a penny of our evil bounty.
No?
What a surprise..these lying cunts know a soft touch when they see one,aided by an army of fifth columnists and outright traitors..the BBC,the Twatter army,charities funded by Bill Gates etc etc.
We’ve been bled dry and still they pick over the carcass.

Itās a scam, a fucking scam. The rich and powerful cunts in these shitholes take the money and favour British companies with contractsā¦ā¦.the same companies that are owned by the MPs rich mates and which they probably own shares in themselves. Itās just a system of bribery paid for by the taxpayer. Thatās why the money never gets to the poor cunts who havenāt got a pot to piss in. It was never intended for them in the first place.

I wouldn’t give these third world shitholes the steam off my jizz.

Very well said.
As my old grandad put it, ‘wouldn’t give the fuckers the skin off a fart’.
17
Its funny how the Left decried Britain as ‘insignificant’ and ‘inward looking’ and would damage our reputation overseas as a world power following our vote to leave the EU mafia state but we always need to “lead the way” and “set an example” when there are billions in free money to be had.
22
Foreign aid should consist of 3ton of rubber Johnny’s and 20 hectare of landmines.
The scrounging brown slurry.
India has money, China has money,
Africa has mineral wealth.
Fuck em.
Any money should stay in the UK for the benefit of our own people.
I hate foreigners,
Mithering all the time.
Even white ones.
We helped Ukraine against russian aggression ,
I think now’s the time to show a bit of gratitude.
Few hundred ton of grain.
Maybe we send them the dinghy people?
That’d be nice?

Yeah, give the dinghy raiders a helmet and a rusty old bayonet and let them take on the Red Army. Seems fair to me. They have hotels over there donāt they?

Proud that we have third biggest giveaway, no I am fucking not, 0.5% of GDP pissed right down the fucking shitter.
I wrote to my MP to ask what is the total amount of money we are giving away, from channel migrants to African shitholes, to my surprise I got a reply, he has asked the foreign office for answers, promising to update me.
My fag packet guess, with everything included it will be in the region of 20 billion, what a fucking disgrace.
The stupid fucking Labour and SNP think that spending shit loads of money in Africa will stop the cunts coming here, just like āsafe and legal routesā will make a blind bit of difference to the channel invasion.
19
Correct,we’ve been had.
Money thrown away by people who tell us we have to turn off our heating yet never pay their own bills.
Our “government” is actively working to ruin us.

Saw a scrounging advert on the box, last night, for water aid or something for Nigeria, so I thought I’d look up their air force – see attached link. If the fuckers can afford a fleet like that, they can afford to sort out their own fucking drinking water.
The feckless cunts.

First line – “Many lawmakers preferred to rely on the United Kingdom for air defence”.
I bet they fucking did!

I can understand the need for emergency funding in the wake of a natural disaster.
What I don’t understand is my fucking taxes being used to prop up a load of bone idle foreign shite I’ve no interest in, or even heard of in a lot of cases.
Britain first. Oh, hang on a bit, there’s a political party called Britain First, who everyone hates because they want to put Britain first. I wouldn’t want to seem jingoistic by wanting my taxes to benefit British people.
23
Emergency funding?
You mean to make the disaster worse, DoC?
That’d be the only way I’d give a contribution…if there was some group of shadowy cunts who’d had enough of the proliferation of 3rd world spongers and was actively working to bump ’em off, millions at a time.

If it’s got 50+ satellites orbiting Earth, nuclear weapons and a space programme (a la Pakistan), it can fuck off (even if they did have a flood (which wasn’t the West’s fault, either)). Sponging Cunts. Especially if its in the Commonwealth or a near neighbour.
Can’t have it both ways chaps, fair is fair and all that).
10
No problem helping out when the money is needed and proof of its use can be provided. Splurging millions every year on utter bollocks because some political pig fucker thought that giving loads of money to thieving fuckwits was cool. Fuck me we even supported Somalias version of the spice girls.
Money that should be used to better the lives of the people who pay taxes etc aināt for throwing away.
As for giving money to fucking Afghanistan whoa there boys and girls, ample evidence exists to show that most of US and U.K. āaidā money was spunked up the wall by legions of warlords, bent goveners and so on. An episode in history which is being rapidly forgotten by all those in positions of power over us.

Bung! And a percentage returned under cover. Its called corruption. It is criminal, and is a serious crime. Those who participate receive their rewards at some point in time and by various means. No one becomes a Minister without leaving Office far wealthier than when they first went in.
If you or I were to conduct ourselves and our finances in such a way, we would be jailed.
I note that a favourite pastime at tea and biscuits is Monopoly. It is there that most get out of jail cards are collected.
I favour the French Method of bringing about Change ! The Guillotine and a purge of the ruling class.

In Pakistan the Foreign Aid is available as loans to their people.
Someone gets a loan for Ā£20k, they come over here and start a business and then default on the loan payments back home, which then gets written off.
We then send them more loan funds
