[Finance] Foreign Aid

[carlzeiss]

Tiny amount and targeted at a few development projects.

Like more re education camps , you can never have too many of those in a communist country .

China could chip in with a bit more aid... especially to help with global roll out of a workable vaccine. Oh wait... maybe they are focused on only helping themselves? Silly me.

Glad to see most of our money goes to our regional area.

A bit more to PNG would be good.

Looks like South Africa is going to need Foreign aid to assist in rebuilding their shopping center's

I think people are under the impression we just hand over wads of cash to foreign governments and let them spend it anyway they like. Wrong.
The funding is managed and projects are chosen carefully and overseen. So we are not funding trips to space, we are making sure regions get funding for projects that the people need. So even if a government isn’t looking out for their people’s best interests, we try to.
That’s how global cooperation works, it’s not just about rolling out funds, it’s about reducing wealth disparity.

It's also worth pointing out that not all aid is money. Some of the aid supplied by Britain is through British-manufactured goods and services at massively knocked-down prices, which means a cut in aid is also likely to lead to UK businesses being placed at risk of being undercut by others. Which given certain other Government obsessions in the last few years is the last thing they need.

Is soft power, something we tend to be good at, but the Little England continues weakening itself from within

So much for post Brexit global Britain, who actually are our best friends right now? Pretty much pissed off everyone....

Apparently CANZUK is some kind of a dreamed up thing.

At the current trajectory It will be other countries offering us aid in sympathy soon.

some of us are already offering it to our own people, much to the chagrin of the government

We must cut our cloth accordingly. Why borrow money to give away?
