Rejected petition Cut foreign aid
More details
Cut overseas aid to 50% of the current amount.
Foreign aid does not ensure economic progress in the countries to which it is sent and encourages a dependency on the U.S and Britain.
Often the aid is not used in the correct way or doesn't reach the right people who really need it.
We could better use the money at home, to benefit the NHS or schools.
