yes its true, aid to India will be stopped, but he also said it will be sent to other countries, has no intentions of ever stopping a certain percentage of our income sent as AID. so we will never be better off, so we are stuffed.

A.I.D. wont' stop
Hi shipmates A.I.D. has allways been sent to our friends world-wide, India has the biggest steelworks around the world TATA they employ over 600 people in wales and many more across europe, Many companys are owned by them. The days of British factorys who employ british workers have long gone. Why give A.I.D to India we fund the toilets in Mumbi for a start as said before A.I.D. is the grease on the ox cart wheels

The way things are going,in a few years the UK will be in need of aid. Already we have Food Banks opening up all over the country to feed the needy,what next, Soup Kitchens in the streets? (Buddy can you spare a Dime ?) These politicians seem to be out of touch with the People and blind to whats happening about them. But when Cameron leaves No 10 he will have no problems, like his predecessors he has made his contacts throughout the business and political world while in office,so he's set for easy street. Then the next Lot takes over,God Help us all.

Well Phony Bliar has certainly made his pile, sometimes reported as £40,000,000, since he left Office and six Mansions to live in. Good Socialist was our Tony.
.
It said in the Papers today that over two million people have entered the country in the last ten years, and are now breeding with a Quarter of a million now coming in every year. and that is only the ones we know of,
100,000 Houses are needed to be built on Green Belt land. I wonder where the money is coming from for all this.
This is only the beginning of the end of our once great country.
Our grandchildren will never know what is was like to be British.

Flood, Famine,Pestilence is Natures way of curbing the over populated land, this has been so for thousands of years and now we can add War to the list. Most other animals on this Planet only breed what they can feed, Nature at work again.

That is right Peter,
Cure Famine and tropical Diseases to save people then you have to have wars to cull them
There is only sustenance for so many. The rest have to be killed off, Sad but true.
The world cannot carry on breeding like they do. China is now looking at Australia to spread out in, one day they will invade and a few more million people killed, helps to keep population growth down.
