Rejected petition Revoke the foreign aid budget
More details
In these times of hardship it is wrong that the hard pressed tax payer in the UK should be asked to fund foreign aid.
It is obscene that the UK pays aid to countries that have space and nuclear programmes or can afford to pay billions for aircraft while their own people starve.
The UK should revoke ALL foreign aid until such time as the nations own debt is paid off.
