Rejected petition Stop sending £280 million in aid to India every year now as they are spending it on sending rockets to Mars!
More details
The UK is sending £280 million a year to India in aid until 2015. This is money to assist India's economy and presumably aid for the poorer in society there. Yet today 5th Nov 2013, India has launched a space mission in a futile mission to orbit the planet Mars. It seems that the UK is effectively funding this project and it should be stopped right now and the money put to domestic causes like providing for the elderly and poor in the UK - there's enough of them!
