This inept Government are starting to really

[Chicken Run]

piss me off, they bang on about the state of the countries finances, plan cutbacks after cutbacks, yet seem to find a spare £134m to send to Pakistan!!

 

[porkypie]

We always send money to countries who have disaters, its not just this govenment. But i do agree with you.Would be much better being spent in this country! Sorry if some think this is unfair, but they would not send us a bloody penny if we where to have diaster.

 

[Neil]

better still why dont the government give more compensation to the people blown up by terrorists that have been trained in Pakistan

 

[Forster's Armband]

More worrying is the millions spent on the Pope's visit. Total waste of our taxes, the majority of people in this country don't give a shit about the old fool.

 

[Giraffe]

£134million is nothing. Will hardly be noticed and would have already been budgeted for. There is nothing wrong with supporting impoverished children in another country, it's what makes Britain great.

 

[Scampi]

Terrible, terrible attempt at trolling. Must try harder.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

I don't know for sure, but I did hear the ohter day that we still send aid to China, as we have done for decades, even thought it will shortly be the biggest aconomy in the world.

Never mind, we'll be a third-world country soon, so it will all be heading back in our direction soon.

All the attempts to kick homophobia out of football and our country spends millions celebrating the leader of homophobia

I thought the cash was to sort out the next Test Match.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Millions of innocent Pakistanis face imminent danger of disease and are currently homeless. I think we can spare a bit of small change for the sake of humanity.

Well said that man.

Blame the previous mob for these cutbacks

Any official aid will be given to the Pakistani government. That country is currently spending hundreds of millions of pounds on a nuclear weapons programme. So if you feel indirectly subsidizing one of the most corrupt governments on the planet and its warmongering aspirations is a good thing then I would be surprised. None of this (or precious little) will actually get to the intended victims, but it will earn brownie points with an increasingly powerful Islamic business elite, especially in this country.

That's what I was thinking.

Having a boring Monday? start a Bin Fest that will drag out the usual posters / Racial overtones.

I reckon 4 pages before it is locked?

Saw the thread title and expected some sort of intelligent debate but see that the original poster just happens to be xenophobic.

We wouldn't be having these cutbacks if the previous Government hadn't had to bail out the banks.

The cutbacks would also not have been so severe had Labour won or if the Liberals hadn't done a complete U-turn on their manifesto. As far as I am aware, no other nation has chosen to go down the route of eliminating their deficit within a five year period and that includes many nations whose economy is, statistically, worse off than our own.

Government budgets are, broadly speaking, looking at a 25% cut. Take HMRC for example. Recently reported that uncollected taxes amount to a whopping £42b and that is up by about 10% from the previous year. The reason is almost certainly due to the fact that the dept is understaffed, caused by Labour and now about to be exacerbated by the Tory cutbacks.

So this is to a significant degree Pompey's fault??

 

[BLOCK F]

Before everyone starts panicking,no-one knows what the cuts will be and how it will affect 'life as we know it'.
IMHO,whatever ones political views,cuts are inevitable and it is only right that the 'sacred' public sector face reality like the private sector has had to do since the year dot!

Significant might be stretching it a bit but they certainly don't help. Vodafone were a bigger culprit with their offshore/tax haven shenanigans.
