Someone please tell me what the Hell is wrong with

all the people that run this country!!!

LABOUR, CONSERVATIVES

&

LIBERALS, say











We're "broke"

and can't help

our own

Seniors,

Veterans,

Orphans,

Homeless,

etc.,???

In the last years we have provided direct cash aid to

Haiti- 1.4 B,

Hamas - 351 M,

Pakistan- 2 B,

Libya1.45 B,

Egypt- 397 M,

Mexico- 622 M,

Russia- 380 M,

Jordan- 463 M,

Kenya- 816 M,

Sudan- 870 M,

Nigeria- 456 M,

Uganda- 451 M,

Congo- 359 M,

Ethiopia- 981 M,

South Afrika- 566 M,

Senegal- 698 M,

Mozambique- 404 M,

Zambia- 331 M,

Kazakhstan- 304 M,

Iraq- 1.08 B,

Tanzania- 554 M,

with literally Billions

and they still

hate us!!!

Our retired seniors

living on a 'fixed income'
do they get any breaks while our government
and religious organisations pour Hundreds of Billions
and Tons of Food
to Foreign Countries!

We have hundreds of adoptable children who

are shoved aside

to make room for

the adoption of

foreign orphans.




AUSTRALIA, UK

& US

countries where we have

homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without needed medication and mentally ill without treatment... etc.












YET. . .

We still allow illegal "Deprived People"

& other free loaders on our shores




While we are lining up with food, clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.

Imagine if
the "GOVERNMENT"

gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.

Sad isn't it?

99% of people won't have the guts to forward this.

I'm one of the 1%...

I Just Did.

Hey Mate, The U.K. is not the only country doing this, Canada as well is guilty of all the same SINS.

I don't doubt your sincerity but being one of the 99% I would first like to verify the figures before I challenge my elected representative. Are you able to supply a link where the figures are shown? I would very much like to kick somebody's ass with proof.

Here

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/table-16-2-total-uk-bilateral-dac-bilateral-and-multilateral-net-oda-africa-2007-2011

There are links to every country that receives aid since 1970.

Taking one at random, Egypt £397m, the figures- if I'm reading it correctly- show the total DAC countries contribution for 2007 as being £396,167,000

Am I reading the tables correctly?

I have not had time to check all the separate countries but the UK, in 2012, gave Africa, as a broad region, £4,204,114,000. I can't get my old head around that number. Is that approximately £4.25 billion?

I guess, by looking at other pages, there are many worthy causes: child hunger, mass poverty, etc. But how much is siphoned off by corrupt African goverments?

I don't know if I am reading the table correctly either but it is scary when that's just one region.
