Personally I don't mind oversees aid to poor and needy people, such as supplying clean water to prevent cholera in India...
but I believe the Government should stop sales of arms and weaponry to Third World countries, for moral reasons.
To give an example, India has the most powerful army, navy and airforce after Russia and the USA, and the Indian government is going to purchase yet again hundreds of new warplanes from Russia.
Rissia earns constant revenues on oil and gas, so doesn't really need to sell weapons to get mote money.
Countries like India that go over the top in weapons imports are among those that receive aid from Britain. India also has more millionaires tham there are in Britain, so there is a lot to be pondered upon.
Especially when our Government goes on making cuts left right and centre gere at home!
In other words, it's not that India cannot find the money in their own economy to see to the poor, and as we in Britain pay tax so that billions go to India (just one example among a few) as oversees aid, we people in Britain should tell our Government to get the priorities right, and tell the Indian government to stop importing weapons as if they were expecting a Third World War, and to start taxing their own millionaires more effectively.
