Title: Foreign Aid Budget Debate on GB News
Post by: Diasi on September 05, 2023, 07:37:28 AM
GB News is debating whether the Foreign Aid budget should be used to repair schools & they have a black-faced tosser who's supporting keeping the Foreign Aid budget for foreign aid. 

Sheer genius as the black-faced twat is being ripped to shreds.

Suppose that one could argue that since so many of the children were born overseas that they are borderline "foreign" anyway, and thus entitled to aid.

The foreign aid budget should definitely be used to pay for all the hotels the government is hiring. The case for the schools is very strong too.

The foreign aid could be used to cover the wages of the hotel employees who have lost their jobs due to this increasingly disastrous government policy.

I meant to say that the black-faced tosser was supporting Foreign Aid being spent on foreign aid so I've amended it.

The black-faced twat's view was the school repairs should be funded by scrapping the State Pension for 'rich' pensioners & by scrapping the triple lock.

I've seen this rather ridiculous reasoning presented by the media on a number of occasions.

Is it not the case that spending Foreign Aid money on aiding foreigners is one & the same thing?

Anyway it's only a small percentage that's being diverted to what is foreign aid by any other name.

The entire remaining Foreign Aid budget should be diverted to be used to fund the school / public building repairs.

Probably aids more of foreign ethnicity than white British I suppose. Apart from teenage single mums on benefits we have stopped breeding to some degree. Perhaps stopping what we give to nations with space programs such as India and China would be a good start.

I'd vote for that klondike.  I don't mind when we chip in to a disaster fund, but handing out largesse to those rich countries?  No.
