This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition moratorium on foreign aid until economy recovers, leave it (aid) to individual donations.
More details
the British people already give millions of pounds to foreign aid charities through individual and voluntary donations.
we are not backward in helping those in desperate need, but before we as a nation can give away billions of pounds of tax payers money we must first be in a position of financial security ourselves, we are clearly not in that position.
it is wrong and immoral for ministers to give away OUR hard earned tax money when the people who are taxed have to make tight budget decisions and even go without just to make up for the failures of government that have wasted OUR money.
our armed forces are being stripped of the ability to defend our country whilst ministers give money away to countries that have nuclear weapons and space programs, then there is the despots that starve their people and keep aid money.
it is wrong, we must stop it NOW
